Milkha Singh:We Are Often Late

 Passing away of the Flying Sikh #MilkhaSingh was a severe shock for us. An invaluable polestar. He has raised the nation to height with his athletic prowess. His demise has left the whole nation to shock.

The regrettable fact is that we woke up after his heavenly abode and discovered his talent. Before that we we were almost in deep slumber. 

Some eminent personalities raised their voice to confer Milkha Singh the Bharat Ratna award (posthomously). Suddenly our conscience arose. Isn't it a matter of concern?

It seems to be usual course that we don't even bother what we have. Always stick to the past to feel ourselves proud. 

O that such concern had been raised in the lifetime of immortal Milkha Singh! 

Covid19: Destiny But Created

 For the last one and half year, India is facing a hazardous situation amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Large number of human lives lost and at stake due to the indifferent attitude of Centre and State governments.

In addition, the fierce blame game between Centre and States added fuel to make the situation more and more grim. In between, assembly elections in five states were taken so vigorously, as if there was nothing to worry.

Despite knowing the fact that the nation is passing through a crucial phase, the government exported medicines in bulk. Putting the millions of lives in danger. Then from the first quarter of the current year, vaccination drive started. 

The poor production of the vaccines created the word efficacy. Administering first shot, people wandering for the second. Shortage of vaccines erupted. Consequently, the sky falls on the public. 

Duration between the two jabs increased to 12 weeks from 4 weeks. Meanwhile, the foreign vaccines started arriving. 

Then authority clashes began between Centre and States to administer vaccine. Again, a question appeared that people of a certain age group would be administered free vaccine, others not. It was decided later that 18+ age group would also be administers free vaccine. 

Still the future course is in the air.
