North Kolkata Calling !!

Uttarakhand High Court's observations regarding the spreading of virous from Kumbh in Haridwar has much importance. The pilgrims took along the virous to whichever State they came from. The Chief Justice further observes that the same mistake should never happen at the Char Dhams ! Let us keep our fingers crossed !!

   We often play various games just to get rid of boringness. One among them is an indoor game popularly known as Ludo. We know that it is a game of luck and the kids specially enjoys these kind of games.       We elders along with a kid (5yrs) usually play Ludo just for time pass. Surprisingly the kid always seems to win the game. It once passed through our mind whether she has some special inborn skill.      In 'Mahabharata' too we have seen Shakuni's skill in the game of dice. Hence is it sheer luck ?       In this respect Bombay High Court is to decide since a Mumbai politician sort an FIR under Pre- vention of Gambling Act against a company that operates  online Ludo where money is involved.

US President believes firmly that the Virus was  a creation from Chinese lab ! Dr Anthony Fauci an expert from US infectious disease wants China to reveal the medical report of the nine men who were probably infected and were in the lab. That  might lead to the findings whether Covid-19's first emergence was from a lab leak.   If China could be held responsible then -according to the US - it should be liable to pay $10tn as penalty !  

If that is true then why wait endlessly for the pandemic to end? Let us expect some speedy recovery so that  we  could secure the global insecurity. At present we are looking forward at the G7 Summit to be held in UK next week. In fact  a recent proposal from IMF of a pragmatic plan seems to be aiming towards that very goal -to end the pandemic as fast as possible so that the world recover it's sanity once again !

When I had my 1st dose of Covaxin and was unable to get the 2nd jab - I was seriously frustrated. There were some problems and I finally got it while staying in Hyderabad. In the meanwhile I thought of the cocktail casually as I was in a dilema. Covidfield was available when my need was another dose of Covaxin.  Now I find at least 20 residents of UP's Audhai Kalan village   were given  a cocktail of both the vaccines.  No complaints of any side effects are noted till now although the last dose were injected on May 14th this year !  

 It is strange that when the world is eager to get vaccinated against the fast spreading Covid-19,a large number of persons  are still sceptical. Unfortunately they seem to be either against the jab or maybe the medical fraternity or God knows what. When SDM Rajiv Shukla reached  Sisaudia village in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district- with a medical team to vaccinate the villagers- he was surprised to see their reactions. As soon as  they saw the team they simply ran for their lives. Surprisingly when the team tried to stop them & explain they jumped into the river for protection ! Finally only 14 agreed after a lot of persuation !

          At present we are all tired and exhausted and not quite sure of  any respite in the near future. We are like living dead with a fast loosing  sanity and no not where the end is. Are we loosing faith in our Earth itself ? Or maybe we no longer believe  in our existence any more !  Many of us seems to believe  that the entire situation is man made. Scientific experts could not be sure whether China is responsible for the said pandemic situation.  However at present we will have to leave for Time to reveal the truth !
