Go Corona! Go!

Tears are draining, 

Smiles are fading, 

Go Corona! Go! 

How many more lives do you want? 

How much grief do you still desire? 

You are a murderer no doubt. 

But you are not just killing people. 

You are killing hope. 

You are killing trust. 

You are killing love. 

You are killing humanity. 

Heartless and helpless, we are afraid to wipe a tear off someone’s cheek. 

Dejected and distressed, we are scared to offer a shoulder to weep. 

We have no weapons to fight you, 

because you stole our most powerful weapon called “touch”. 

Hands are not held to alleviate pain. 

Warm embraces are no longer available to spread hope. 

You pushed us apart in our greatest hour of need. 

But, do not even for one second think you won. 

You lost in every tear we are shedding for our helplessness. 

You lost in every word of courage we are sharing without actually coming together. 

Apart we shall win over you. 

Once you are gone, we shall come back closer than ever. 

Go Corona! Go! 

I badly wish this mantra works at least once.

The Story of the Soul unconcerned about the External World

“Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world”, said Edward Hopper, a prominent American realist painter. The saying might seem to be related to art as it is said by an artist but in reality it relates to all walks of life. Any great deed by an individual always turns out to be the expression of one’s own inner life. That is the reason why great art always walks hand in hand with solace. In the absence of this inner life, people tend to win over the material world with their deeds and thus become a slave to its desires.  It is the presence of the inner life that keeps men stable and unmoved to any fluctuations in the outer world and thus places them in a greater position than the rest.

The Untold Story - A STORY NARRATING THE CRUELTY OF MAN

Have you ever thought why animals don’t talk and trees don’t walk? Well, it is a long story that happened millions of years ago. It was long back, when all the living creatures had legs to walk and a voice to talk. The world was so lively then, with all the living beings singing and dancing all day. The trees were considered the oldest and the wisest of all while man was said to be the most ignorant (which was later proved to be wrong).
