Quarantine times

Silence. All around the country.

A year of dreams, 2020.

Just like a cricket match, wherein the twentieth over goes us feeling all eerie, creepy and ecstatic, the world swoops us into its last over. On the 1st of January, 2020 humans rejoiced the beginning of what was supposed to a new era. Little did we know, Mother Nature wasn’t feeling quite well.

Just like a pimple pops up suddenly on your face overnight. A pimple popped up on the surface of earth. Unheard of, unknown, we didn’t know where it came from. Coronavirus was it’s name. It had planned diligently, started creeping up slowly, and before we knew it’s count was already in millions. All your body cells were affected by it, and surprisingly this guest couldn’t even be found till the fourteenth day of its arrival. They say don’t pop the pimple, it will go away on it’s own. But some humans just don’t listen do they! Nevertheless the pimple god was angry and wrathful now. How dare you petty humans disrespect me! In the blink of an eye, number of human deaths, was in millions. And it kept increasing, day by day. Precautions had to be taken. As a result humans had to sit at home all day, which made them miserable and irritable. The boys grew long scary beards. The girls couldn’t go to malls. Ah! What a tragedy. Still humanity and humans had to somehow exist. Humans did things they never had time to do. Some painted, some danced, some entertained, some exercised, some spent long family times. Their hearts were healing. Their minds and bodies were at rest after such competitive years. Still the greater lot was a whole huge mess.

Humans questioned, ” What is God doing? Can’t He see we are in such a huge trouble. Help Us.”

The Almighty has other kids too my friend. Kids, whom he had neglected and were retreating now. The plants, the soil, the animals, the birds, the insects, the fishes, the reptiles. The Almighty had overlooked over so many of his creations to look after his favourite child – homo sapiens. Now, any good parent has to listen to his other kids right. So He took the road less travelled. He said, ” I doubt if I should ever come back “. His favourite one is screaming with his red eyes and toxic intentions back at Him.

A man-made virus, COVID-19, seemingly sought war within God’s best creation. Mother Nature healed from afar.
