India suffers from multiple pandemics

India Suffers from 'multiple' pandemics:- This was an article describing the state of affairs of India during the peak of the pandemic. It is not my intention to hurt the sentiments of my country. It is just with regard to the state of affairs of the unprecedentedness and how the pandemic has hampered millions of lives.  I glanced through the headlines of my newspaper. I read the first page of the newspaper which had left me dumbstruck-'India the third worst-hit country after USA and Brazil' it was a matter of bewilderment to digest the fact that the Honourable President of Brazil ' Jair Bolsonaro' himself had got infected to the virus. Truly indeed we are to be blamed for our rapid succession in securing the third position in the list of worst-hit countries globally. I am also glad that not all of us are oblivious to a hazard worse than a tsunami.  Dharavi-a modern slum where more than a lakh people are residing has battled with the unprecedented pandemic. Hats

  Spectacular Folklore :- It was 7:00 a.m. in the morning. I woke up perceiving some melodious and mesmerizing songs of the god I worshiped -Krishna!! I realized that it is Gokulashtami or Janmashtami the birthday of Mukunda who is lazing on Mother Yashoda's lap with his tranquil gaze. Krishna certainly is the only god who attracts his devotees with his sweet smile and his adoring flute. Though being the lord Mahavishnu himself he is caressed by the indignant mothers whose white butter had been stolen by little Krishna and his company unknowing the fact that they have befriended the almighty. I have come across many people disliking Krishna as he had done some maneuvers in the Mahabharatha to make the Pandavas win the mighty battle of Kurukshetra by vanquishing the Kauravas in a war of succession and kingship. He is the same Krishna who told the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna which is being cherished by millions of people to date. Krishna is also the same person who gave his closest mate

Village Splendour

Village Slendour  Sauntering through the grasslands of our native village is the best activity to do at leisure. Organic food, pure air, the aromatic fragrance of countryside soil, and the folk culture of a village exhilarates us and gives a sense of authenticity. An atmosphere lacking in pollutants of metros, the hustle, and bustle of the local transport, the traffic of cities is perfectly suitable for a tranquil lifestyle. Villagers make their way through spreading the rich culture and tradition of villages by preserving their classic village tales and performing in hotels and resorts few examples being the Kathputli dance and Ghoomar dance. A village gives a sense of unity, togetherness, and brotherhood by conducting village fairs and local temple festivals. Remembering moments under thatched roofs is refreshing and experiencing them is blissful. Connecting with the village culture, observing nature's glamour, and spending a few days understanding ancestral legacy is productive

  "The tree of silence, bears the fruit of peace " The fact that ascetics, sages and even commoners  voyage all the way up to the Himalayas or any other mountain range for that matter to meditate is merely because of the melody of silence  and to escape from the hustle and bustle of life, away from urban chaos. Isn’t it quite astonishing  to know that even silence has its own melody like music? The melody of silence has its own aesthetic value. We hear music before going to bed or at any time of the day to invigorate ourselves and to bid farewell to all the tensions we faced before listening to music, same way atleast 30-40 seconds of silence in a day can turn out to be very enlivening. A recreational  visit to a deserted beach with no accompaniment can provide refreshment to the body and mind.  With the support of our gifted mind imagine the scene at a beach in which there is no one else,  you get a terrific opportunity to communicate with the sea.  Using the incomprehensive
