"Maha-mari aur upar se pralay bhaari". If you're someone who is glued to the news during this pandemic to keep yourself tuned to LIVE news and update, we are sure some of the news channels must have surely flashed breaking news with the given tagline. So what is it all about?
If you're from the Northernmost region of India, the scorching sun is surely keeping you in-bound but wait until you are rocked by the tremors in the capital city and around. The easternmost India on the other hand faced the strongest cyclonic wave causing cascades of water flows and flooding situations.
Where life after lockdown 4.0 and the news of unlock 1.0 started to normalise the living with the pandemic aka maha-mari; the Nature plotted for yet another surprise test for us. While rest assured, we humans will surely find a way out of the COVID-19 pandemic sooner, how do we go about these surprise tests we have to face and pass by each day?
1) Rickety Rackety Earthquake
While the earth shakes it's leg, let us not loose our solidity. Where in less than two months, Delhi witnessed nearly 5 earthquakes gauging from 2.2 to 4.6 richter scale. We must by now be equipped to hide under a table or run out of the building with the mask on and sanitizer in.
2) Sizzling Heat Waves
When during the lockdown saga we all grilled and baked, it's time we take the heat and burn. Where the temperature sore to 50°C, the strong heat waves can't and shouldn't be ignored. As we are already indoors (while most of us) it's an added perk of safeguarding ourselves from the heat & the virus but elsewise stay hydrated and keep cool.
3) Swarming Locusts
"Aa ab locust chalein". This might sound funny but a swarm sweeping all of farms and causing food plague can be a serious crisis India will have to face if not acted upon timely. Not perilous to humans, until July the government has time to get the issue fixed by aerial fumigation of insecticide. So let this strike off your test series and government shall take care of it.
4) Cyclonic Overflow
Amphan stirred a major toofan in India. Causing flooding situations in the East and deserting people from their homes around the coast, it exposes to problems equivalent and treacherous to coronavirus. With government aids and donations, hygiene kits with rations is the way we fight both the calamities together
5) Engulfing Forest Fire
Remember the koala's and the Australian fire? Something similar prevails in Uttarakhand at the moment. Where flora fauna fights with the fire, we are bound to lose the beauty of 'Dev-Bhumi'. Let's pledge as the new world awaits, the mother nature isn't to be taken for granted and we ensure her protection.

While the pandemic did and continues to test our endurance, mother nature has her own ways to add her motherly charm of daunting on us yet taking the best of care by providing us with living kit. Let's fight back socially but with physical distance. Let compassion subsist for all including our nature and we be extra cautious hereby. And to anything coming beyond and as a surprise, we will overcome it and say 'not today'.
