It's been raining since morning but not a continuous rain it's dancing with a puase. Its a refreshing weather now besides it is Sunday a perfect bliss perfect day to enjoy the newspapers and a cup of tea. From some days India-China tension, ban on 59 Chinese apps have been snatching the front pages from COVID19. I was reading a column where it was written that download of Chingari an alternative to the TikTok application has crossed 15 million. Here in Chingari the more videos are viewd users get points and those can be redeemed as per the Co founder. It was always a curiosity for me to know how TikTok users get paid or earn. Nowadays Indian applications are facing traffic. An artificial boom is taking to the Indian origin applications. It is good always good for every country and society. In another column it is written the increase cases of corona affected people. But people have digested this fear now they do not get terrified when they read news related to corona. When life is sinking and you get sure that it will sink anyhow you lose the fear. I think this is happening with the people. The have badly digested the fear of corona cases. Rest of the pages has been taken by monsoon. Many homes have been eaten by the rivers. River creates and destroys. m Situation in Assam is very critical. The state has Brahmaputra river. A nightmare to the state. Even the national park is under water. Again there are cases people losing jobs for restricted manpower allowed in company to start activity. So much chaos. While I was reading and thinking all these in a sudden looked at the clock . it was already 11 a.m. time to arrange for lunch. Well Sunday means a special day and the street to my room is flooded with rain water so it's better to order online. I have been staying alone from 12 years and may be this is the reason when my parents say I have become a self centric person. Journey leaves footprints. I ordered over Zomato for my lunch. It was rice egg vegetables dal and curd. Simple yet satisfying. Yesterday I was talking with my friend that a Chinese company owns thirty percent in Zomato. China has penetrated so well and scientifically that it can't be overlooked overnight. Yet there are some sectors where government has taken their steps. At that time I got a confirmation call from the restaurant cum hotel for my order. Within 30 minutes I got the call but the delivery boy was unable to locate my address. I wondee sometimes why Google map is so hyped. It is a trash. It needs to be developed more and more. The delivery boy was getting so irritated and asked me to come out of the house. We talked for 20 minutes and I lost. I had to come out. I did not want to walk over the flooded water but with a burden of frustration I had to. He was not happy so am I.
