Even those glorified as such epithets as the fourth pillar of democracy or equivalently the mirrors of society seem to be somewhat content in bringing to fore such issues that only threatens to test the limits without actually, and thankfully, doing that yet. What’s however somewhat riveting is that it isn’t just the common masses who while away their quarantine days in relaxation and rewinding. And that is a reality that should shame us all, yet what it does is having us sigh in relief at our comparatively better state of selfish existence. Why then this divide between the haves and the have nots have been eked out yet again, even when the COVID 19 calamity has been bashed as an unforgiving entity, one that does not play party to this differentiation? Because in all its choking terror and impartial infections, the coronavirus might be the unbiased equaliser, yet in selfish human perspective, it falls flat on its face as far as outreaching effects other than health are concerned. That all is necessary and essential all right, but for a certain section of people there sure is something more essential than anything else- the privilege to at least continue with being an unendowed yet ‘privileged’ human soul.

What we wake up to every morning is announcement of public reforms and flights opening up, even as the nation continues to reel under the extensive lockdown. The irony however becomes all the more glaring when we realise that we aren’t even fed more about the unfortunate masses for whom even mere survival is no longer a basic human right. Or put it more blatantly and unhumanely, we don’t even care to. But however bleak the reality might be for us, there always is a section of population that has been living the bleak life for ages and will be forced to do so, irrespective of whether or not we manage to find a way out of this pandemic.Īnd yet we do not hear more about them. With entire countries under lockdown and public health measures sucking up all the money, we aren’t even envisaging the doom we all are eagerly waiting to live out for. But to think that these substantial sightings are the only challenges we need to be dealing with in the near future is a gross understatement of absolute realms. Be it the worldwide economic situation or even the abstract force threatening to dismantle the very ego of the human existence, we surely aren’t living in the best of times.

Lurking behind in the dark shadows of this pandemic are associated issues that however aren’t as egalitarian in nature as the current health crisis. In hindsight however, the scenario is not quite so dedicated to this exclusive cause even when it surely is one that defies any cure as yet. Or at least, there doesn’t seem to be one.

There isn’t any more concerning thing at the moment that is grappling the world than the calamitous coronavirus crisis.
