"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. Covid -19 has turned pendamics. 'Pendamic' is a situation where the outbreak  affect  extensively the population world over. As I write this , Covid -19 has already become an event of alarming distess and disaster .We as a world  are today  in a state of Calamity.

This was around late December 2019.  The cause of this outbreak is  directly attributed  to the Chineese  eating habits. Now three months down the calender 2020 this virus has spread accross continents and the shores of all  Oceans.  World today remain locked out and social distancing world over has become a norm for survival.  As I sign off this post  global coronavirus death toll passes 40,000...

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country.

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
