To all the loved ones and the bereaved of the one hundred thousand people who succumbed to COVED19 in different countries I offer these flowers from our garden on the Easter Sunday!
We feel with you that you were denied to say farewell to them and could not be present at the funeral to pay your last tributes.
They were the front runners who taught the health care professionals more about the way to treat so that more lives can be saved. They laid down their lives to an infection about which the medical fraternity knew little. From the experiences of those recovered and loss of many, there is a glimmer o hope of containing the infection and saving more lives with better treatment.
The sorrow of the deceased loved ones would stay with us for long.
Whether we live in developed countries or elsewhere we share a common journey and destiny. I hope we would interlace our journey even more to create a fabric of humanity that loves peace, wellness and prosperity for all!
The history of some of the nations in the last three decades was one of civil war, hostility between communities, disputes over territorial integrity, mass displacements of people due to war, famine, illness, refugees, asylum seekers. The world has been in a turmoil after a relative period of quietness fate the Cold War ended in the early sixties.
To me this COVED 19 is the ugliest expression of discordance between nations. With China concealing information for long, other countries were caught unaware of the gravity of the infection laid that would come upon on them wrecking their healthcare infrastructure and becoming too little for a national crisis.
We need to rise from the ashes of this destruction economically and socially.
I return to flowers both in times of grief and celebration because, it keeps us connected with a dual reality- live well and while we live giving fragrance to others knowing that life is fragile and short!
