Living Amidst A Pall Of Gloom

Most of us yearn for a break from the routine. During the covid times the entire globe was craving to get back to normalcy.

Time to ponder and count on all our blessings and to be thankful to all the forces for keeping us protected during these traumatic times. We were no doubt fortunate to be within the cozy confines of our homes and to have meals on our tables. Shudder to think about the agony of the affected people  who were fighting for their lives in numerous hospitals all over the world and the valiant medicos and others who were leaving no stone unturned to save every single life not withstanding the fact that they were risking their very own. Sure our generation has not witnessed calamities of such monstrous proportions. We are the lucky generation not to have witnessed the Spanish flu nor the ravages of world wars which spelled doom and disaster in every sense. Definitely this war against the invisible enemy has taught us lots of unforgettable lessons. Let us strive to be less ostentatious and value memories and people more instead of spending too much time in materialistic pursuits. Let us progress towards minimalism .Let us take some time off to express our gratitude to all those who ease our stay in this planet amidst the race we run not even knowing the meaning of all those trivial pursuits. We also got a rude awakening that the planet also belongs to trillion other species and humans for a moment have taken a back seat and mother earth got some respite from us. The human race has now realised that even the routine we often whine about can’t be taken for granted and the fear of extinction has made the world go berserk.
