"Coronavirruseses" are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in the mammals and birds. Human eating habits obviously cause the spread of this virus in human. In human this virus causes resiperatory track infections that can be mild but can turn leathel very fast if not treated immediatly. Covid-19 is part of the group of  "Coronaviruses".  It is this Covid-19 that has now globally hit us.  Ecnomically crippled the world is fighting the war for  very existence  As per United Nations out of the total 195 countries world over  193 countries are fighting this virus .It has now become a fight for very survival.

This was around late December 2019.  The cause of this outbreak is  directly attributed  to the Chineese  eating habits.

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market.

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing.

I don't l

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
