  Every life-form on earth has an in-born urge and longing-ness to live healthy, remain immortal and will do everything possible (fight or flee) to achieve the ultimate goal of eternity.   Why even every cell our body also struggles for the same level and goal of permanent existence.   If we look at the nature and ask how the order, the beauty, the diversity, different types of adaptations and behavioural idiosyncrasies seen among the structure of the nature, in simple language, the father of evolution Charles Darwin has described the above, due to natural selection.   Natural selection is indeed a very slow process and the near final change may occur after several generations over thousands of years which our present science cannot predict as how long it may take and when to expect the change.   Even the direction of change is also difficult to predict in advance.   But the theory of natural selection is absolute science and those who show braveness ...

  People may call it is highly hysterical, bizarre, perverted, eccentric or insane to suggest the personal opinion of the author to Modiji to imprison our democracy for a while to cut the supply chain of fear mongering of COVID to save the humanity at large in India.   Continuous relay of the bad news about how many COVID cases are happening in the country, how many had died, how many are in the ICU, what aberration our medical services are facing to deal the increasing number of COVID cases, how loom our future is etc., on hourly basis by the media houses doesn’t seems to help people instead such bombarding of news items are only causing further panic and distress among people.   Such situation makes people much tensed, fearsome and as a result of, people runs from pillar to post to deal even very simple medical problems which they can easily manage at home.   Home quarantine and rest are only advised to most of the COVID patients by our medical body.   ...

  When science tends to favour politics or politics tempts to bend science to please the political boss, the by-product of the above- the fear and ignorance will not only destroy the nation but also finally the originator of the same. What we witness today in India is the crude brutal politics, indifference and irresponsibility among our political class, thanks to the wholehearted support of our medical science to the same.   More than the second wave of COVID, the politics of opposition is only seems to be defeating India by our political class making mountain out of molehill.   Certainly Modi cannot wash his hands so easily for creating such a situation.   He was the one who started the lockdown politics, political pride over controlling the pandemic and preventing millions of deaths, development of vaccine and its export.   It looks like, to counter his pride, the oxygen politics is happening in the country partly and or fully sponsored by our opposition ...

  In the name of creating an extravagant awareness about COVID among general public and also to prevent the spread of the virus, Modi has imposed a draconian lockdown measure in India a year ago and also he used another   best weapon called ‘fear’ to divert the inability of our health care system to handle the pandemic.   Today what we witness in India in the aftermath of the second wave is nothing but the trickledown effect of lockdown and the fear created by Modi through lockdown, a year ago.    Today any unrelated medical discomfort also people and most clinicians associate with COVID without even testing or confirming.   Instead of studying how worst they feel, many people rush to hospital, feel and experience at the thought level, most of the signs and symptoms of COVID, which are being bombarded to the air by our media houses on hourly basis and that is the real problem.   People with decent medical awareness and laymen, today both behave...

  At last, good sense has prevailed over the manufactured fear and over-caution towards preventing the spread of COVID in India.   COVID is not the real problem in India and the real problem is loss of job, unemployment, closure of several MSME’s, manual labourers without work etc.   When the government imposes lockdown or curfew, it is the people in private sector suffer the worst and not those in government sector.   If central government brings a draconian law stating that all those in government service (state and central) starting from Chief Justice of India to peon, the salary will be cut to ¼ till 2023 and no bonus or other allowances also will be paid until then, in minutes, COVID will disappear .   Today in the name of combating COVID, several government establishments are looting the money from government exchequer and poor people are harassed on the road further by the so called law enforcing agency – police and bleeds them of the meagre money l...
