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.

Lemon Detection Project

I am not much into detective films and scoop stories but since one week I am involved in a lemon- giver-detection project. It all started few days back when I found a lemon on my terrace. By lemon, I didn’t mean the frail, not-yet-ripe, tiny lemons we find in the market. The lemon that hit my leg was bright, yellow, round, inviting-you-to-taste-it kind. I looked around to see if someone on another terrace was looking for a lost lemon but found none. I scanned the surroundings to see if there was any unnoticed lemon tree in the vicinity, from where this fruit might have come flying. Illogical it might seem but one can’t take chances when viruses are believed to die with photon energy that converts to atomic energy which in turn converts to quantum energy. When I found no trees, I searched for any naughty kid that might have used a lemon in place of a tennis ball. Again, my search was in vain. Satisfied at the results, I finally took the lemon home and had a glass of fresh lime water s...
