Capsized
No matter how rich we are in terms of money, we are often poor in terms of relations, and corona season has induced a typical fear on all, during the pandemic we have realized what actually rock bottom Is....
In some or the other way every one is sailing in the same boat in fact dangling without much support and still there is a fear of being capsized.... ..


In Agra,
It was an awesome sunny day, morning of May 10 , 2020 but not so awesome for many of us in the world.... We were huddled in our rooms with lots of books to cherish.... but then we heard, someone talking loud in the neighbourhood and then a grave silence followed and then again loud talks began, Mabok ( mausi), was surprised, and tried to find out.... We were peering through our main gate and realized It's neighbours son all decked up with PPE ... Who had arrived for some important business case all the way from Ahmedabad by car just to see his mother who was living alone and also to attend some business .. But his mother's disposition was of a very self interested person and she was strict enough not to let him enter the house and she herself was wearing a PPE kit, and was talking to him from a very good distance ... That's why we heard loud talks....
It was clearly visible that the son had arrived unannounced as he knew his mother who was eighty years old ... might create the havoc, she would friek out & would grow very self conscious with elaborative measures ...maybe throw some tantrum and if it was in her hand she wouldn't even let him enter the city . . . So, after much pleading, maid served a glass of water to son..outside in the bungalow's vicinity he sat in the garden as he wasn't allowed in and by then mother had locked herself in... After only a glass of water he went for some urgent business work in city the second reason for which he arrived in Agra... After five hours he again came back to his mother's house but only to bid her farewell.... And the mother was too scared she thought she might contract corona if her son unknowingly suffered from the same ...so she just bid a weak farewell to him and the son was visibly dejected but his self centered mother never noticed and sent him away almost hungry...At least thanks to his, business associate who fed him well and he went on with business associate's 'hospitlity' and while his mother served him with 'hostililty' but still he promised his mother that he will visit whenever corona glides down...till then he is always there for her via Telemedia.
He had a one day trip during corona, . .......
so corona has induced uncanny situations highlighting varied aspects of human nature while on other hand there are many unknown philanthropist, social workers and householders whom we don't know but are helping others without any expectation, and are not going to get any reward for that they know this well but are still showing altruistic behaviour.... Just for humanity and peace!
