Ashutosh returned back home today. Ashutosh is worried enough, he had returned back to his native to visit his motherland India to see his parents, they might have fallen sick due to the Corona infection, such a deadly dangerous life taking disease, it can take the life of anyone so distressing furious deadly. Nowadays Corona appears as a terror horror panicking pandemic disease. Its symptoms are varying from different grounds age, nature intensity. Sometimes it is appeared as mild but suddenly it is changed into high intensity like breathlessness, difficulty in the respiratory system. While returning on the way he had determined to take his parents with him. He cannot leave his parents alone. He could remember the days when his parents stayed with him at the time of misery loneliness agony distress. They helped him in bringing up their children, their childhood period, most sensitive delicate and caring. Moralism, ethics and good habits are inculcated at the time of childhood age those attributes were developed gradually with the effort of his parents, those are precious gifts of god. Ashutosh reached home. 


His parents were extremely happy to see their son return back home at such a crucial time of epidemic Corona all over the world. Corona is a life taking serious disease now in the USA which took more than 2 lakhs lives all over the world. People could diagnose that every year more than 2lakhs people die in breathing problem, artificial oxygen, ventilators cannot suffice or fulfil the requirements of lakhs of patients all over the world. Luckily in India, such condition has not arrived like Italy, USA, Spain and France where hospitals are filled with Corona cases, doctors or nurses or medical staff cannot take more patients as hospitals cannot attend to the patients in hospitals. Doctors refused to attend. Doctors were sick, many were infected, isolated. Then the whole staff, doctors nurses who were in the hospital were quarantined for somedays. Like this, the condition of hospitals is overburdened with patients. Lakhs of patients waited outside lying on the streets of the hospital. Many died being isolated or separated from their families. They were buried in the cremation grounds without intimation or handing over the dead bodies to their family members. The cremation ground was filled with dead bodies, no one was there to mourn over any family member, as they cannot commemorate the death or funeral ceremony of their dead members for mourning. Ashutosh was relaxed seeing his parents safe. 


After two days Ashutosh tried to convince his parents that he cannot leave them alone in India, 

who are there to look after them if they fall sick. While explaining all problems he insisted his parents go to the USA. He said, "We can give the house on rent or appoint one caretaker forever. Please mama and papa both of you get ready to come to the USA after 15 days. I will book tickets to USA^. Suddenly parents were upset, they tried to explain to their son that already they are too late, he did so late, now in India, the situation is very bad, wretched condition, no one can venture or dare to go back the USA unless he is forced to leave his motherland. Parents never make a burden for their children ...They refused strictly to Ashitosh's proposal. They want social relationships even in social distancing, they want their own family members near and dear neighbours. They cannot survive in the land of USA leaving their own motherland or native, the big strong old tree which is brought up in the soil of his own motherland cannot survive in other foreign country's land, even if medical facilities are more prevalent there but the water, soil, sunlight environmental elements the plant gets in its own motherland to survive. Even they prefer to die in contentment peacefully with their family members in their own native. 


They refused strongly to go back to the USA. They said, "you are too late to take us the USA as we had been there for several times when we were not alert of such deadly disease Coronavirus, usually in fever or cold also we used to work hard for getting the contamination or transmission of virus so dangerously through human contacts, socialization through intimacy with own family members also, such a horrible tragic epidemic which is safe in social distancing and isolation only. 


The virus neither spreads through air nor water only spreads through social contact or intimacy. No one faiths no one. Once we are infected, we cannot trust others, others cannot trust us, we are separated from our family to a secluded lonely place where no family member can meet us. You did a great thing for us. We could see you in such a crucial time of lockdown period, so God's blessing our soul contentment, we have no other desires except seeing you. We can die peacefully if anything happens. " 


Ashutosh was disappointed badly, there was no other way of convincing them, he did not want to snatch the last desire of their parents who wanted to live alone in social distancing in loneliness but in their own native with their relatives whom they can talk and greet over a smartphone in video calls also. Ashutosh returned back to America with empty hands and empty distressed grief-stricken hearts.
