As I open my eyes in the morning,
I notice a distinct golden voice in the chorus of the birds. And it was none
other than the Cuckoo; impeccably maintaining its musical arrival, in the month
so well captured in the following nursery rhyme –
In April, come I will
In May, I sing all day
In June, I change my tune
In July, I prepare to fly
In August, go I must!
I would be happy to monitor the above
events in that may unfold in the coming months; it would be fun to do so.
Today being 1st April 2020,
marks the beginning of the new Financial Year 2020-21 under the dark shadows of
the deadly virus Corona. In the challenging times that our country is passing
through, Ministry of Finance has taken timely actions to alleviate the pains of
the ordinary tax-payers – like extension in dates for tax saving investments
and filing of IT Returns is highly appreciable. May we all fight back strongly
with Corona Virus by isolating ourselves unitedly, to bounce back strongly in
good health. Wealth will follow on its own.
While I expressed my apprehensions
yesterday about spreading of Corona Virus infection be the delagates, I fear
that my apprehensions are unfortunately proving to be true. Due to the
irresponsible act of Tablighi Jamaat, the number of positive COVID-19 cases has
seen a sharp rise in Delhi and other cities. It may be termed as cold-blooded
murder and mass murder as well by the organizers of the religious conference at
the Markaz! Had good sense prevailed on this Jamaat, we would have been well on
the path of the flat curve signifying no new Corona cases. But all the good work
has been reversed by a single irresponsible act which has now cast a wide Corona
web covering the entire length and breadth of the country with infected persons.
Already more than 323 of the delegates are confirmed to be carrying the Corona
Virus while at least 10 have already succumbed to the infection. This has
pushed total cases in India above 2000. It is just a beginning; the country
will have to pay a very heavy price for it.
Tracing down each of the
delegates will take time and by that time it would be too late. It would be
best if the state governments and the local administration encourages such
people to report on their own and assuring them of no action against them. This
would at least help in curtailing the number of infections by them. I hope that
it happens sooner than later.
Amidst the increasing grip of
Corona Virus in India and in majority of the countries of the world, some great
initiatives by the netizens, local administration and local government is praiseworthy.
For instance, a video clip showing the residents of Patiala showering flowers on
a sweeper for his continued services in this challenging time is heartwarming.
We all should have such empathy towards people who are out on the streets to
serve us for providing the basic necessities – be it the police, municipality
workers or the doctors and their assistants in the hospitals. Delhi CM has
announced compensation of Rs. 1.0 crore for those health workers who die of
Corona infections due to their being in the service of Corona patients. Delhi
CM Kejariwal’s assurance to the medical fraternity is laudable.
Remain at Home! Take Care! Beware
of online fraudsters!
