Tiffin Tales 107

Hola….

Hurray, for us because these days we are awakened by the chirping of the birds. The days are getting longer and the migratory birds are flying back to us. The high winds do bother us yet we celebrate the fact that the temperatures are slightly higher where we do not shiver.

We all are currently gripped by fear, fear of a virus and the world has named it ‘corona virus’. The virus is rapidly spreading and has shaken the entire world from its core. Everyday, every minute this pandemic is constantly reminding how strong our nature is. We are home confined, we are maintaining social distances and taking every possible precautionary step to ward this virus away.

As we slowly crawl into our third week of social isolation, a lot of things cut across my mind. How a small virus has entirely disrupted our entire lives, stopped many industries, paralyzed a lot of daily activities and to an extent has frozen our thoughts too.

We human beings have thought and considered ourselves to be the finest creation of nature and now nature teaches us back to ponder over this again and again. The gamut of nature is so strong and authoritative and makes us feel so minuscule in this hour of global crisis.

All of a sudden we all have become global citizens and can somewhat feel the pain of fellow human beings. We are taking this pandemic to be a universal problem and trying to deal. Our thoughts and perceptions slowly move towards gloom and despair. We have no idea what the future holds. The clouds of tension is getting thicker and we are waiting for the sun to shine brightly.

Change is such a concept. It always sticks true to its nature. Now nature is the brilliant master and together their compositions have to be followed by all the living beings. With time the change for better situation will be here. Till then we have to build mental strength, lean on to our loved ones, understand and respect the laws of nature and hold on to the faith that ‘every cloud has a silver lining.’

Please follow your local government directives, stay calm and stay indoors. Let’s silently stay by each other’s side by doing our bit and unanimously we will triumph over it.
