KOVID- 19


               It has been about one year since Kovid-19 became a worldwide pandemic. 

Scientists have been amazingly successful in developing effective vaccines against it, in 

less than one year. Such process used to take more than 5 to 10 years in the past. 

Several countries have started vaccinating their population. President Biden and his team, 

in USA, have accelerated the vaccination campaign. This is a welcome step. Aggressive 

vaccination campaign is a foremost priority for the governments of all affected countries.


               There are reports that 20 to 30 percent of republicans say that they will not take 

any vaccine against Kovid-19. I think they are guided by wrong fears or wrong thinking.

Medical professionals and scientists are strongly in favor of getting vaccinated, for the 

protection of  people's health and saving lives. We are close to the end of the tunnel. Let 

us heed the advice of the experts with regard to getting vaccinated. It is also wise to 

continue to wear face mask in public for a few more months. at least.

                                                            ATTITUDE           In our life and death  there are very few things we can control. Our mental attitude is one of those things which we can relatively control. Our attitude toward things and  people plays a large role in our being happy or miserable.           Some of our suffering is caused by being bothered about what other people think or  talk about  us. Think: "other people's feelings or opinions do not touch my skin. Why  should   I be bothered? It is OK if some people do not like me. So what?"           We often make ourselves miserable by brooding about regrets and resentments  of the past: Why did my father always put me down? Why did I not get admission to a...

                                                TO BE GRATEFUL  &  TO BE FORGIVING                Remembering somebody who has enriched our life, with a sense of gratitude, gives a  soothing feeling to our heart. From our parents, our teachers, great writers, to inspiring leaders:  frequently and sincerely expressing our gratefulness to those who have helped us in any way, brings  peace to our mind.                Another thing to do to be happier is to let go of past resentments. To forgive someone who may have offended us in the past is a wise thing to do. Just as carrying a light luggage in travel  makes our journey more comfortable, reducing vengefulness toward  persons who may have caused us  a grief at some point in life, relieves us of a bu...

ISM      Ism is an ideology held with such fervor by its believers that it leads them to forcefully oppose any system which differs from their own. History is replete with such ideologies and they are prevalent even today. The genocide of Jews that took place in Europe during the middle of twentieth century under Hitler's Nazism (belief in Aryan Supremacy) still makes our heart tremble with disbelief. Under Stalin's communist rule in Soviet Union, millions of innocent people lost their lives. During the campaign of collective farming enforced in 1950s under Mao's communism, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or systematic killing in China.      We have witnessed the collapse of communist economic system near the end of twentieth century. We have also seen deep recession that occurred in U.S.A. in 2008, when capitalist market system was allowed to run without any checks.      No one holds monopoly on truth. Mahatma Gandhi's lif...
