Stay put, stay safe!

It's an understatement to say that Covid-19 has hit every country, every economy bigtime.
The worst part is that in places like India, even the lockdown has not been able to flatten the curve. You could blame it on the poor discipline of our citizens or on the migration influx or on the resurgence (albeit partial) in people's activity and movement, post-lockdown,

Every time the Corona count (of cases and deaths) reaches a new high, we scale a new low.
It's time to junk all negative news and just focus on being indoors. Some people think being cautious and preventive means being foolish or timid. I read someone say "I won't die hiding like a rat".

Sure, but the times are such that it will be perniciously foolhardy to just throw caution to the winds, and not take any precautions. However frustrating it may be, it is best to stay indoors.

Yes, you may be bored, yes your hands must be fed up of being washed a thousand times, but as they say, you gotta do what you gotta do. This is not the time to be a Sehwag, be a Dravid right now. Bide your time, stay within your crease and do not give any room for error.

It will look boring, no doubt.
It will sap you ever so much.
But it will ensure you are safe.

This is the only way we can make it to the other side of the pandemic, or of any adversity for that matter - by being courageous and prudent, by doing all that we can, and by biding our time.
It's not for nothing that they say, tough times don't last, tough people do.
May everyone stay safe, healthy and happy!
Amen, and let's see this off together.

Playing just like Dravid, is so very crucial today
After this is over, we'll also be Sehwag one day!

Go Corona, Go!

Tough times require tough measures.
We are in the midst of a crisis which has attained globally alarming proportions.

No day, no news, no discussion worth its salt is complete these days without mentioning the dreaded C-word.
Yes, I am talking about COVID-19 aka the Coronavirus pandemic.

As India confronts time under lockdown, many families are self-isolated and quarantined - as a reactive or proactive measure.
What hurts the most, though, is the plight of the people who are hurt the most the migrant laborers and daily wage earners from other towns, who have lost their daily source of income.

People have had to leave for their homes en masse, with kids in tow. Let's do our bit by comtributing in any possible way we can, by helping them and/or contributing financially to the PM Care Fund or to/through any such genuine and appropriate forum.

They need us, friends.
Let's do it India, for our India!
Jai Ho!
