The orb has been locked down for necessary repairs.I too was locked in my house with the entire world, sitting near the window, watching outside. A sparrow had completed its nest foming today. Her friends came to greet her & tweet party started. All of these were watching me but there was neither fear nor any horror in their gestures and voices. Anyway what to fear of anyone who is locked up in prison. For the last two to three months, what is happening on this earth is probably the first time in the world history. The world which we projected as a factory of development, progress and prosperity, the wheels of which were stopped by an unknown enemy. The whole globe was threatened by an invisible invader which has shrunken the economic system to alarming depths. All the possible check points were made to stop human beings from their movements. the passports and visas were used as a speed breakers to control the speed of in and out flow of tourists of a country but all felt incomputable all of a sudden added chaos and confusion everywhere and the man simply handed over the game to the Lord. Now, the world’s major powers have gossiped the ears and made it in one row. It was heard that when a feudal owner wanted to defame any honorable Competitor, he used to get help from the proletariat & ordered his men to welcome by thrashing him with his shoes so that the coming generations will remember it for a long. Today the nature has tightly shoe horned a nasty virus to curb the “Highest of all creatures” and someone who gets a welcome shoe, can’t say that he does not deserve it…!
Here the global market witnessed a loss of two to three trillion dollars.
The overcrowded and over clouded orb has been locked down for necessary repairs and hope the mankind will understand the menace too……
Who knows how much money was honestly made and how much earned by sucking blood of innocents. What will happen to the global market in the days to come? When all the resources of the world are in control of a selected few. So how can the world fight with such a deadly disease? People who fought for a piece of land, used to collect weapons worth all their resources and economy became abductors and abusers of each other but forgot to improve the basic requirements and infrastructure for the welfare of their people. The shadow dreaming to capture the whole world favour, to influence the power-hitters, Godly claiming people and raising the walls of hate among people to hide behind became the common task of power baboos. The biggest organisations all over the world are wailing and waiting for the cure of corono virus but after the sacrifice of two and a half million people who died for want of health facilities and good medical care. Now if the virus goes down anyhow by mutual sharing and understanding, leaving a scar behind will master the world ahead for a long time. Thank God & understand, the deal is not bad” .I never feel happy at my place?Those who survive will be fixed and become sympathetic to each other. And in this orb they will surely sign an agreement not to disturb other living creatures too instead prefer to live in unison and harmony. The way I describe human beings is far more sinister than that, looking out my window the birds are not afraid of anyone at the moment but roaming with joy and happiness from here to there and vice versa. Looking upon the pure blue sky with no harm and hurdles from anything it seems the sky had been waiting a long, fulfilled its wishes to see the birds in pure blue today. What will happen in the coming days? …….the time will tell. But surely the overcrowded and over clouded orb has been locked down for necessary repairs and hope the mankind will understand the menace too……
