Stop COVIDIOTS and don't be one


Hi readers, it's been an year, since I haven't posted on blog.

I know COVID times was extremely difficult for most of the people. Most of 'Work from Home' professionals were among the blessed ones to continue their job with less difficulty. Other dependent businesses were badly affected.

People living in semi urban or rural areas were less likely to notice COVID cases compared to metro or urban areas. The first wave of COVID 19 had affected badly and we can see what toll the economy had to pay. Even after creating awareness by respective health board ( I know the fact that everyone hates the way they spread awareness before every phone call ), some people just blindly ignored the consequences and still doesn't follow the rules.

Wearing a mask & maintaining social distance is a very basic thing that even an illiterate can understand. But some educated people still continue to spread fake news through social media forwards by mentioning "The vaccine may kill you / vaccine might make you impotent".

We hear these kind of news every day:
"Religious gathering amid COVID second wave"
"No social distancing during protest, election rally etc."
"People roaming without wearing mask"
"People protesting against COVID fine" - (This is the most absurd thing. It's common sense that disease should not spread and to control that government has introduced fine. Instead of wearing mask people started protesting against that. These are "COV-IDIOTS")

Just think if people had ignored religious gathering just once at least for this year,
also if they would have avoided gathering in election rally even if they are paid, 
also if they would have avoided protesting,
also if they would have just simply wore the mask - All the the above news would have never existed.

I know that's an ideal world. Even after all these things, still people blame government and at the same time they avoid following the rules. The so called affordable connectivity (4G, cheap broadband etc.) has spoiled people rather than educating them. It's so easy to spread fake news, as if they are real. The internet in India is gradually turning into spam box. After the rise of affordable internet service, there was huge surge in YouTube channels or Social Media influencers. Most of them are meant to spoil people by killing their time or by spreading fake contents.

These must stop! At granule level, we the people must bring changes. Every individual who has minimum common sense must avoid such absurd and intake good contents. Responsibility lies in every individual who follows rules, doesn't spread fake contents. 

Let us not be COV-idiots, also educate others - not to be the same!

CA$H-less!

We are in digital age, where most of the daily task are carried out by 0's and 1's. Even cell phones have been evolved into smart phones from past decade. The smartness of these cell phones helped us to step into digital age.  I remember when these UPI transaction was not in the picture, we used to visit nearest ATM to withdraw cash and then rush into some general stores to get change. It was very difficult to get smaller denominations for shopkeepers, when some one gave ₹500 for small tea. Especially, shopkeepers used to give chocolates for the remaining smaller amount of money.  If ATM runs out of money, then we are doomed. Oh Gosh! Now we can't even think life without UPI transaction. Somehow we can say that these kind of small problems has been solved using UPI transaction or digital transaction. I totally agree with this and was thinking in the same way. Ah! This is our mindset. To be honest, I only realized when I started spending my salary. This U
