Lockdown: The resurgence

A blip in time for our Universe but a giant step for mankind.

Today is the first day of this seemingly long 3 weeks of hiatus that our government has imposed upon us to stop the spread of this present seeming reality; in this case the novel corona virus.

This act of safe-distancing and self-isolation may appear disconcerting at first but apparently the only fool proof way to prevent a catastrophe;  if there's even an ounce of learning from countries like China, Italy and the US.

What is intriguing to me in all of this is how the entire humanity has come together to collaborate knowledge, share resources and best practises to curtail the spread of this virus. This event has united us like no event in the history of this planet.

Homo sapiens have been divided throughout the evolutionary timeline for various inconsequential matters such as territorial rights, supremacy, race, language among many such.

Could this be the moment of resurgence for humanity? Covid-19 has united us all without any scholarly speech about it, without discrimination, without any pre-meditated thought. None of us want any one to have it. Period.

Our priorities need to be re-assessed and conversations need to take place revolving around climate change, animal rights, equality and planetary priority over country priority.

I now have over 100 identical replies . That’s not customer support — that’s a wall of silence. 2. Withdrawals for the Well-Connected Only Over time, it has become painfully clear that...

the caricature of my imagination

It struck me while i was sleeping, far away dreaming of distant lands, cosmos and the edge of the universe. Aren't we all mere caricatures of our imaginations ? Are we all here for the larger good of mankind ? The power of human mind is a bane and a boon in many ways. We preach love and yet we fight with our parents, siblings, partners. Aren't we then hypocrites ? Oh wait! The disconnect between the mind and the heart is where the problem lies. How do we bridge it ? constant self-exploration and advaita!

I Don't Honk - Kolkata Chapter

We have all honked our way ahead on the streets of Kolkata. That's the way it is always meant to be. Precisely why our ugly behemoths -namely trucks and lorries have it written on the back - Horn Ok Please. So that's imbibed in our culture. Everyone subconsciously agrees to this sound of music. In the culture that we have collectively amassed; it is a widely acceptable norm. In fact, there are various categories of honking : 1. The Big car irritable long honks - Get out of my way you slow moving vehicle. Can't you see I'm wheeling an expensive drive. Well, only to be stuck 50 meters ahead in traffic. 2. The taxi horn that goes honk honk after every 30 seconds. They sometimes do it even at the traffic light just because they get bored and are often times without a music player. 3. The warning deep growl of a swerving giant - I'm going to maneuver and overtake. So you better move away you tiny marutis ( which is a de facto name for all 4 wheelers regardless ...
