CoViD-19

CoViD-19 is the worst news of 2020; all doom and gloom right from when it first waged it's war from Wuhan.
Stealthily, silently, steadily - like a sadistic pathogen, it's aiming for the most vulnerable amongst us, drafting the healthy to be its accomplice and co-conspirator, wreaking havoc on masses, instilling widespread fear, madly striking it's fangs into anyone and everyone coming in it's way.
Those who don't wash their hands clean, are equal culprits, corona's partner in crime!
Corona is inflicting enormous human suffering, savaging the global economy, and ripping apart the very fabric of daily life.
It took a thing as minuscule as a virus to remind us, how petty we really are! And the paradox is, everything that 2020 facilitates - technology, connectivity, global business, shrinking planet - are the very reasons, responsible for the far-flung reach of corona, turning it into Global Pandemic!
To halt the spread of virus, slow the rate of transmission, lower the steep incline of infection - humans are being QUARANTINED.
Imprisoned in our own homes and rightly so, for brutally ravaging the very PLANET we live on, our HOME for million of years, the CORE of our very existence.
A GLOBAL LOCKDOWN IT IS.
Has life come to a full circle? Is there any redemption ?
We know not. We can only ATONE.
And try to keep ourselves on an even emotional keel.
Mother Nature has hit the PAUSE button.
And has left it upon US to 'RESET' our LIVES.
Suddenly, the world is re-learning the power of slowing down.
In the midst of Global Pandemic, people are learning to cultivate slow pleasures.
Social isolation is teaching us "The Joy of Solitude."
