Showing posts with the label COVID

Tell Me Why ?

Hello there! Hope you are doing well amid these challenging times! Today I don't intend to write a post sharing any gyan whatsoever. Rather, I just want to have a fruitful discussion with you people. A discussion seeking answers to some of the questions that keep on coming into my mind at (ir)regular intervals. I hope you will participate in the discussion. You might have observed that there are times when we know that we should or shouldn't do something, even then we end up not doing or doing those things respectively. I would suggest you to think of any such instance, where you know that you should not do a particular task. It might be as naive as indulging in some extra calories (your favorite dessert) even if you are dieting (or suffering from diabetes). Or the case of a (arguably) bad habit like Smoking, Drinking etc. which you know that you shouldn't pursue, even then you crave for indulging in those habits.

So this Mediplomacy (Medicine Diplomacy) can be said to be a diplomatic masterstroke by the Indian government.

Random Thoughts Articulated

I have been contemplating about starting a blog since long. However, I didn't know much about the basics of blogging. I randomly googled about 'What is a blog?', 'How to write a blog etc.' During the search process, I came across a blog post about Top 10 Blog site/domains etc. There I found Medium and Blogger as the two suited to my needs. This is my very first blog post today. I am writing this as the Earth is under Quarantine (for Humans) in the wake of the Corona Virus Pandemic. We often say that the mother earth's survival is under threat, that it needs to be protected from Climate Change, from Deadly Weapons etc. However, we fail to realise that it is not the Earth whose survival is under threat, rather, it is We   the Humans whose survival is under threat. It is the Crises like the present one that make us think the other way round. To think that the Earth has always been there, it is We the Humans who were not always there. We the Sapie...
