The COVID controller!

The covid wave has hit the earth! (Some theorists believe it to be a “Radioactive wave” or in millennial terms the “5G” wave! Who say, that radio waves are the real enemy and not the fatal , strong CORONA VIRUS). Whatever that means!

Moving on, for so many years I believed or was led to believe “We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces”. But over the past year I realized, that’s just partly TRUE!

The first part of the sentence is correct, Oh! We are puppets and the strings are being pulled, but by KNOWN forces!! It begins even before birth. When someone is pregnant, you have all those aunties, sisters, friends even the male gender of the society, watching you like a hawk and chattering like a parrot! Oh beta, don’t do this, don’t eat this, don’t dance, you need to wear something loose, please stop late night dinners, No going out after 7pm… and all the “CONTROL” begins.

The control by KNOWN forces never ceases to stop and life continues. In addition to the already controlling forces, I figured out there is a new controller in town – THE COVID CONTROLLER. Don’t get me wrong, these guys have nothing to do with controlling the rising covid cases or fatalities. They are the ones who suddenly feel they have got a PHD in controlling, giving out remedies (which some claim are even better than Remedisvir) and out casting anyone and everyone who sneezes or coughs!

They are spread everywhere, probably even spreading more rapidly than corona! The fun thing about them is that they believe and say every word that comes out of their mouth with so much passion, that the listener gets lost in trying to figure out what exactly this person wants to say! Have you ever been in this situation? Well I’m sure everyone of us has been there.

I thought of listing down just 6 simple characteristics of this “COVID CONTROLLER”:

1. The mind has completely lost the ability to apply logic or make sense
   
   
2. They are proof that Education or degrees have nothing to do with intelligence. (cause you can find them mostly in the ‘educated class’ of the society
   
   
3. Out casting is the only resolution
   
   
4. The belief that information via WhatsApp, Google and other unreliable sources – digital or in living form is God sent!
   
   
5. They get paranoid with every sneeze you take, with every coughing noise you make
   
   
6. And lastly, they are fearful and negative

In life, we are used to being controlled, these are the times where you should hold the strings in your own hands and be responsible for every action. DON'T let these COVID CONTROLLERS pull you down emotionally or mentally.

REACH OUT to those who KNOW, to those who are on field dealing with the virus. LISTEN to Doctors, who have slogged for years and studied how they can save a life! HEAR OUT those who have gone through it and have had a first-hand experience both positive and negative. These people are the ones that will give you hope, strength and positivity and most importantly the right direction.

The world gave us vaccines to fight Corona, but we ourselves have to find a way to develop immunity towards these covid controllers. Either get immune to them, or just cut them off.

Cheers! To all those who are not only fighting against covid, but to all those who are fighting daily against the COVID CONTROLLERS!
