Temporary

Hello Diary,

I started the day by taking a haircut inspired by a Facebook post from my friend Mr. Pandey. I realized it is an interesting art. It was a different experience as most of the time I had a haircut in Saloon or on the bank of the river for rituals. Yes, I have some small injury, but this was the first time she has done this for me. I was fully engaged. It was like another usual day. The uniqueness of Sunday is vanished due to CORONA. There were many engagements on the list one after another, haircut, the requirement of a gas cylinder, completing assignment one for T.C.S and another Amity University, planning for tomorrow online teaching, Teaching Dhruv in the evening and remembering or keeping a record for my diary. I think I am making judicious use of this lockdown. I am learning new arts and helping my wife in cooking and cleaning. Very disappointing news coming from Punjab, where a group of Sikh people chopped the hand of a Police Officer. They were hiding in Gurudwara. We need to control these people otherwise they will spread it and the consequences are going to be devastating. This hidden enemy of humanity is the biggest threat to the whole world.

I am restless, busy and worried too. I interviewed a candidate for a teaching position. She is simply superb. A lot of messages on WhatsApp, everybody has become tech-savvy suddenly. I am still seeing people divided in the name of region, religion, and nation. In this time of urgency, to blow one’s solitary trumpet is ridiculous when we need to unite and fight this Corona. There is news of earthquakes too in N.C.R.

Dhruv asked one more thing Why lord Ram killed Bali? I do not have a proper and logical answer to convince him? I have returned his question back, find out different opinions with regard to Ram killing Bali. Don't see and judge everything from your point of view. This is what happening every day, I, my friends everyone is busy promoting his views. We do not have time to listen to others. As a result, people are not able to understand this mismatch. Develop countries of the world are facing this crisis. They have expertise and drawbacks too. They are not ready to collaborate with each other. They want to protect and put everybody in quarantine. This is not the solution. Safe are those who are not in touch with the outer world. This is not a permanent solution but everything seems Temporary.
