Hope


  Hope driving force of our survival in any situation.Today, in the days of lockdown, when everything looks unexpected, people are helping others. It sustains our faith in humanity. We all are living in the milieu which is absolutely unprecedented.
    We must thank to our both governments for forcing us to lockdown ourselves. We had not any such experience in the past. Expect a few days of curfew imposed during communal riots, we prefer to live in social harmony.
   Lockdown is different than curfew. It's self-imposed restriction. Most of the citizens are following the guidelines issued by the authorities. But there are many things happening around us which are sufficient to strengthen our faith in humanity.
I read, A doctor who is a cancer patient working in the hospital tirelessly for Corona patients, an eighty years old lady donated her life long savings for PM fund, a farmer has distributed all his yield from his farm to the poor people of his village, a grocer has opened up his godown for the needy, a hotel owner whose business is collapsed during these days, is ready to cook for helpless migrated workers, a teacher has taken the responsibility of some students who are residing in the rented rooms and could not return to their homes, a garage owner is ready to repair all vehicles of Corona warriors in the city freely, a motivator is repeatedly posting motivational videos for the people who are facing psychological challenges.
     These are some examples which represent the nature of our society. Post-Corona days might be challenging, but with the collective efforts we can overcome all these challenges. There are many speculations about our future. T.V channels are tirelessly speaking on that. Social media sites are endlessly pouring out tons of posts and comments on us. For a while, we are confused with the changing socio-political scenario.
    It is said that modernization cuts us from the society and puts us in the confinement of selfishness and greed. And this is the sign of our degradation. But current scenario is enough to erase out such thoughts.
    Corona has united us as a society. Not only our family but we are taking care of others. This is a ray of hope which is so bright and optimistic and sufficient to prove us as a human being.

Nicely penned down!
Congratulations doctor!

But it's a pity that we have to wait for natural or man made calamity to experience this humanity at a large scale. It's the indicator that in the normal course, man behaves like a blind being and only the abnormal situations make him believe in the powers of nature and the fragility of his life.
