Looking at the pandemic in larger perspective.
While we ladies are keeping ourselves occupied by posing for the saree challenge on facebook, Corona keeps everyone gripped and occupied. Homelocked now, for weeks, the world has found normalcy in this makeshift routine. We’re starting to get cosy in being remote, staying glued to the screen, fingertips working diligently.
We’ve realized that whining will not help, smiling might, because positivity breeds health and increased immunity.
Who’s corona is it anyway? Well it’s definitely benefiting the nature around us. It’s rejoicing, refurbished, brimming with life! Well retailers are happy too, making hay while corona shines!! Commodities like toilet paper, hand wash, kitchen towel, masks have been presumed treasure troves.
Prices have skyrocketed within days and optimism utilization is the buzz word now.
As weekdays have melted into weekends and the whole family’s always home, it’s always family time, cooking time, studying time and working time, all together. Me as a reluctant housewife is always cribbing, cooking, sauntering and bantering!! But what comforts me is that I’m not alone in this! Everybody’s in the same boat( read home)ready to swim or sink.
US has seen numbers double and triple surpassing China long back. Well this country exceeds in everything it does;) and everyone’s hyperventilating here( well, literally)! As warmer weather approaches, people are crowding parks, walking with a handsome 6 feet distance apart but Masked and hesitant. This is renewed normalcy!!
Well once corona recedes( that is, if it does at all), and we’re back to basics, we all will prance out of our nests in haste to experience social happiness!! Crowds will feel like picnic and once again sneezes will be greeted with smiling “ bless you” and not “$&@$ You”!! Rampages will be welcomed and gatherings will be greeted( praise hands emoji 🙌🏻)!!
But what about lives lost, declining economics, fading jobs and incoming bouts of recession!! Hmmmm…food for some thought here!!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
