Khursheed Ahmad Wani

Everyone is in the land of the living in a trepidation state since the outbreak of Corona from Wuhan City, At the global level, humanity has passed through the odds of surviving. The Lethal virus (Corona virus) related to RNA (ribonucleic acid) viruses ranges from approximately 26 to 32 kilobases, one of the largest RNA viruses. Humans are unable to lay eyes on it with naked eyes thus depend on scientific tools. Scientists from all over the world are in the race in making vaccine so for looks as if they put up white flag. World’s most powerful countries blessed with advanced pharmacists and biotechnologists burning the midnight oil so to come up with better solutions. More than 17000 people died in India, is it not alarming situation for the whole nation. Whenever plague flare-up in the past, it took millions of innocent lives. COVID-19 take the initial path of likewise, “The Black Death, also known as the Pestilence and the Great Mortality”, was the most fatal pandemic in human history. The asymptomatic carrier, showing no symptoms is the menace of spreading this pandemic door to door. We are up creek without paddle under the nose of COVID-19. We must pray “O God! Save us from deadly pestilence.” Right now we were fighting with the COVID, another serious issue arose i.e. Galwan that swallowed up 20 lives of Army personnel’s. Galwan faceoff could be pernicious if not settle on time with conscientiousness as both sub-continentals are Nuclear Powers. The International Community must come forward to find a solution; otherwise it looks like WW-III is in the cards that would zap the planet within seconds. Talks were failed and conditions are extreme. Presently inhabitants affiliated around faceoff area are in panic due to advisories.
There is no one who is ready to hear our plight due to personal interests. We are living in dire straits so only way is to pray Almighty God to iron out this ballgame process from ages.
We never enjoyed the Arcadian Life due to manifold uncertainties. A few days back a toddler lost his grandpa, it was quite unbearable not only for the people who are suffering but for the whole humanity. In a flash, it reminded me a poetic line from my own write-up; “Quite afraid, may get killed unawares in foray”. Enduring such situations, we felt very tired; most of the time our eyes remained wet and heart restless. Anxiety, fear, a mountain of sadness is found on everyone’s face. Life has become paralyzed. It has a profound effect on heart and mind. Simultaneously facing adverse situations is quite nerve-racking for all. How could a person think for prosperity among unfavorable air? Even the wind is not supporting us quite afraid may get stick somewhere. Need of an hour is to provide the right information and empower the citizens with their rights? How much, how far, we will suffer. It seems that all this will have to be endured till death. There is no one who is ready to hear our plight due to personal interests. We are living in dire straits so only way is to pray Almighty God to iron out this ballgame process from ages.
