Surprises of Covid – 19

Covid threw some surprise

amid one particular enterprise

facing despise

for being responsible for its rise

 

Some points raised

is in Indian context

where all unknown

has established facts with data thrown.

 

First one

“Mystery of  disappearing deaths” among Indian

where world over, numbers tend to grow

In India, it is 30% lesser month on month in a row

 

Numbers are less

for people dying from natural death

Equal were accidents and murders figure

where numbers are going down and not getting bigger.

 

Surprise number second

“Japan not able to do work from home” is heavy

as people are not technological savvy

world see this only in news and movie

 

Heavier than this stuff is

coaching centres biz

is thriving all across

only the ones who can teach them WFH boss!!.

 

Doing fax is order of the day

mail is strict “no no” they say

their culture is to do most of the work by hand

among general public, being digitally savvy is not a trend.

 

Another surprise, where we can once again see disappeared mountains and stars

and think that climate is getting originally at par

with its golden olden days

know that surprisingly it is the other way

 

Climate is still changing

temperature is on rise and mother nature still avenging

from glacier melt to river disappearing

through all this phenomenon climate change still ranging.

 

Surprise number four

most vulnerable country to fall

is most developed nation among all

US has highest infected and death rate toll

 

Entire responsibility is put on 70 yr old guy

who took time to buy

all essentials and not even strategic plan was made

only stupidity and nonsense came out from white house gate

 

Other one liners are smaller ones

Pakistan and Bangladesh are not in the red

remember we laughed when Pakistan made

more graveyard than hospital bed

 

One Deloitte report say

60% employee productivity is up during WFH

ironically 99% business productivity is down as it lay

high productive staff without pay

 

Many other such news must be waiting in queue

like one more fact of Rolls Royce making “honey” for me and you

COVID itself was disastrously new

created havoc & like a demon, economy and life, it chew.

what’s your bliss

Human feels the pain
Human feels the pleasure
Irrespective of, it rains
Or sunshine is the weather
It becomes difficult to know
what gives bliss
which path to tow
unknown is an abyss
It gives fear
uncertainty of unknown
what lies ahead
and what lies near
Another unknown is desire
it makes people want to be called a sire
irrespective of any noble deed
all it generates is greed
In the end of life
we want happiness and bliss
a life without a strife
and memorable moments without a miss
to realize this truth
slog in your youth
become a sleuth
and avoid Ruth
Perform whichever task
put on happiness mask
be genuine, be humble
no pride or glory to bask
keep walking putting everything in God’s feet
worries, desires and anger for cheats
believing that one will reach
the goal of realization of oneness and meet
the ultimate objective of existence
realization beyond earthly sufferings
realization of power and strength
each is bestowed with, beyond any time and length!!

This moment too shall pass

“come ye and rest a while”

Sometimes have a little smile

I used to have this dream

When life was rough and rile

When working in a realm

And running after time

When life seems short

To get everything in my prime

I used to talk to me

And confirm sometime

Rat race has made life worth only a dime

Dream was to get time for the self

Freedom from worries, fear, skelf

Feel the family’s love

Children’s innocence all above

Suddenly time stopped at this juncture

And I got those treasure “moments”

Why am I unable to live them now?

Why this turbulence which do not allow

To pick and save the lil treasures

A life my body, my temple, my memories, my mind

Would want and feel blessed and kind

Who has seen “tomorrow”?

Today is enough to bind

Us with life and let it sail, being blind

With belief that tomorrow would be better

Take Care for the loved ones

With lil courage as fear is a fetter

“moments” gets created every sec

Happenings, instances, results are junctures

Where we pause and move ahead

This time too shall pass

As by nature it has to flow..alas!!
