Dear Mother Earth,
When I was a child I loved Cadbury Dairy milk chocolates. So much that I wanted to marry into the family that made the chocolates, hence ensuring a regular and infinite supply of my faves. My little head did not know it was easier to ask for just a regular and infinite supply and the means are irrelevant.
Now that I am an adult, my wish is fulfilled (regular and infinite supply bit, not the marrying Cadbury Jr bit). But freak of nature, I have turned into this fitness loving adult. Now Even before the chocolate has melted down my throat, Guilt raises its ugly hydra head from within . I make mental calculations of the meals I have to skip or the longer I have to run to burn the dreaded silken sinful calories.
Moral of the story- Not all we wish for ,comes true....and even if it does, it is not always good for us.
Dear Ma
You wished to reset yourself
So you unleash this virus on us.
Apparently you are shut down for repairs.
Let me explain why this is not the best for you
so I am 0.00000000013 th of the people who inhabit you. Why would my plea move you?
it is because it is an earnest one.
Agreed we people had no regard for you and we rampantly abused you and your resources.
It has been 3 weeks in my 0.00000000013 part of the world. We have cleaned our homes...corners that were never visited have been sanitised...ditto the food, clothes, roads. Have learned to work without maids. A Japanese perpendicular bow respect for them. Our families have become "Maid for each other" Sick of snacking, hate all those dumb indoor workouts. Even insta feeds of our Bollywooders is in pajamas and night suits.
even the meme makers are done with this
Clapped and lit lamps for the cops, sanitary workers... I will come to the health care workers in a bit.
You are so beautiful . You need to be appreciated and that can be done only outdoors.
Got out the bard, singer, dancer etc in us
You have sucked the joy out of binge watching, bunking work, making up dumb excuses to shirk that annoying bit ....Social distancing has made it all legal....how does that even work
humans are social beings....this is the anti thesis of our existence
we have done it all
now lets us just get back to work
you r a mom
you can take some bit of pollution, here n there
such pure air does no good to anyone
n it is a long time to heal yourself...after wolfing up so many of our bretheren …overwhelming our health care and pride.....inspite of our best efforts
and a virus is your weapon...seriously … a real low or small should I say
For my bit I have always switched off every fan and light when I left the room. Took public transport even when inconvenient so as to decrease my carbon foot print Carried cloth bags and avoided plastics, compost my waste,always supported local produce.....All so that you don't get chocked that 0.00000000013 bit. I am a right leaning environmentalist....I occasionally indulge in air travel, a tub bath, eat Austrian cold cuts in Goa, retail therapy etc
As a Doctor I can speak for myself. I have trained for 11.5 years to prevent, diagnose and treat ailments. It is my job. I can live without the bouquets or the brickbats. Much like the chocolate soldier of George Bernard Shaw play. I want to carry chocolates.......Cadbury Dairy Milk ones
Spare us
Get rid of this virus.... he is no friend
let us be.... a little carefree....and breathe free
