Battling the deadly surge

When did grief become a luxury? 
When did sorrow become an awkward inconvenience? 
When did rage become an interruption? 
When did lament become a dismissible indulgence? 

When we decided that we cannot afford to pause and emote. 

The world is trying to grapple with a pandemic of mammoth proportions. Coronavirus - Covid-19 - reared its ugly head in the latter half of 2019..... almost all through 2020 it wreaked havoc; but, as the world had been hoping for a respite, finally, in 2021, our country is witnessing the worst ramifications of recklessness combined with ill-planned attempts to tackle the crisis. As the every-day situation becomes more and more horrifying, the projections for the near future aren't any less alarming. It's the worst kind of cautionary tale for the world that can ever be, say the experts. Prayers and real-time support are sought for my country, for my fellow citizens. We await a miracle maybe, to bend the curve of India's catastrophic second wave of the disease.
