SUMMERS

-
yes summers... summer internships are times when you disconnect with your academics but not your professsion. And this to me, is a chance to see things around and inside. I consider myself lucky to do summers again - those who have not done a post grad. would easily realise - as pgdm student at IIM Raipur, for it has given me the time and confidence to re-nurture my inclination to write and reflect. Coming soon with a set of poems which I penned down while attending lectures.
Also, will soon be going to Chitrakote, India's largest waterfall located in Bastar region...hope to connect with nature and come up with few genuine lines.


till then happy summers :-)

Day 10 & 11 - 3rd and 4th April - A Helping Hand As promised yesterday by PM Modi, in his address at 09:00 AM on 3rd April, a new task was announced - 9 minutes of candle light vigil at 9:00 AM on 5th April. It was a call for solidarity, to remained united as a nation for a greater cause. घर की सभी लाइटें बंद करके, घर के दरवाजे पर या बालकनी में, खड़े रहकर, 9 मिनट के लिए मोमबत्ती, दीया, टॉर्च या मोबाइल की फ्लैशलाइट जलाएं: PM @narendramodi #IndiaFightsCorona — PMO India (@PMOIndia) April 3, 2020 When PM raises a call, the entire nation responds. The night of 5th April 2020 turned into a mid year mini Diwali. No body knew why others did it, every one did for there own reasons. For some, it was call of PM, for some it symbolized a ray of hope in desparate times and some participated with a thought that if it would do no good, it would not be any harm either. But I feel, for majority of the people including me, it was a show of solidarity and togetherness, consciously o...

Cleaning overdrive, Nostalgia and The FOOD (Day 2 & 3 of India Lock Down) - 26th & 27th March 2020

26th and 27 March 2020 - Day 2 and 3 of the National Lock Down in India Continuing from the previous day, the weirdness continues. My wife woke up by 05:00 am, again. Thankfully I had been spared today and got up only around 06:30 am. I know that's way too early for many of you. The inquisitiveness to know the daily outbreak status was now turning into a habit. US had added almost 10k new cases and the global death toll reached 20k+. On a global level, 60k+ cases were being reported everyday. If one wanted to look for data, it was all over the web. But the way it was being reported, specially in news channels across the globe, was exposing everyone's biases. Left wing, right wing, fundamentalist, nationalist, socialist, pseudo-secularist - the inclinations were clear. Which category you belong to or you too are just a god-fearing, law abiding, hard working, helpless citizen. On the other hand, the government was disseminating data - its websites, twitter, press ...

1st and 2nd April - A to Z of Corona Vocabulary Morning shows the day. The corona crisis was worsening across America and Europe. Global total of Daily deaths crossed 5000 and a whopping ~65k-70k new cases were being reported everyday. Globally more than 1 million people had been diagnosed positive with covid-19 and total death toll had crossed 50k by 2nd April. US by now was the new epicenter adding ~25k new cases and a thousand positive cases everyday. Back home in India, number of corona positive cases had exploded after the Markaz crisis . As test results of the Nizamudding Markaz attendees started pouring in,  most of the new cases were directly or indirectly linked to the attendees . In related incidents, foreigners who had attended the religious event on tourist visas had been black listed and a FIR was also lodged against the maulana of the Markaz. Days were being spend in updating the blog, preparing food and watching news. One of the ideas that had flashed while...
