Pandemic chronicles - 26 July ' 20

26 July

Heal and get well soon, one and all.

Quite a few members of my extended network are fighting tough battles as someone there in their family is a Covid19 warrior. Each experience leaves behind a lull moment. The latest blog of the greatest cine star of our times who himself is suffering, itself stands as a testimony to the pain. Both physical and mental. Common citizen is banking on 'luck' or 'fluke' more than ever. Still believe prayers does wonder and that is all we can offer with an open mind.

Care, Distance, Cure.. Does the pattern have a disorder.
Is the phrase "social distancing" - a juxtaposition?
Forget, hard questions. It is easy to stay put with daily chores.
There is enough.

Mundane is on the burner and rest in deep refrigerator.
Simple tasks call for so much planning these days.

Last evening the working mixer gave up after grinding for years. Today had to turn up in the local shop. Stepped out after a while to get it sorted. My market facing apparels are now hand-picked. They are the most ostracized ones. May be an unconscious bias I have to get over soon. Years back had brought a pair of sneakers in hope of joining my marathon runner friends which I never ran. In last few months they are now fit to run.

The worst feeling of a Sunday noon is the uneasiness of that undone bucket which is still half full. Go slow - had to whisper, in purpose. No point rushing. Let it be pending. Indulged in giving back the mind a baggage free me-time.

Played instrumental music of old Kishore songs and was lazily browsing the screens of my device that a new mixer and crusher popped up. oops..I searched for repair details in the morning; it is following me crazily. Before all types of fancy stuff fill-up I geared up to beat the intelligent artificial mind hiding in my own device.

I managed to run but stumbled on something new.. DIY. Heard this word first time. May be you know, but in case you are in the same boat thought of alerting you, as it is now going to be true..

DIY means 'Do-It-Yourself' and that is a serious upcoming industry. Something that will enable you to do every thing under the sun yourself. It was there in a small way (contributing to countries economy) but analysts can foresee post Covid19 era, this is going to be a big revolution. A fresh new world yet to opened up, you too may check out as researchers are on job with various point of views and indicating business trends. In this world sadly enough mind may not but money always matters.

Now have to really get ready, just sneakers would do. For my friends who follow Bengali in true sense have to do জুতো সেলাই থেকে চণ্ডীপাঠ ...
