DEADLY CORONA VIRUS

The world is in a war with the new form of weapon, the biological weapon. Rightly said by Bill Gates in his Ted Talks of 2015 titled The next outbreak? We’re not ready https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Af6b_wyiwI , that the later war will not have a blast, it will be in the form of a virus. Biological warfare is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, insects and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. 

Today here in this blog I am going to tell you about the Virus, the risk of dealing with it and people infected by it, and mostly about the people who are our front-line warriors in this biological warfare, and our responsibilities towards them and our nation.

Corona virus disease or COVID-19 (orthocoronavirinae) are a group of viruses that cause disease in mammals and birds. In humans it causes respiratory tract infections that can be mild, such as some cases of common cold, fever, cough and shortness of breath. While majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to pneumonia and multi-organ failure. As of now the Fatality rate is 4.5% but can range from 0.2% - 15%.

This Virus has a risk factor like Travel and exposure to the virus. You can diagnose this by RT-PCR testing and CT scan.  You can prevent this by following our daily precautions like hand washing, quarantine and physical distancing. 

The disease was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, China, and has since spread globally resulting in 2019-20 Coronavirus Pandemic. 

In India our Hon. PM Shri Narendra Modi ji had declared an Janta Curfew on 22nd March 2020 that was made successful by 1.3 billion people of this country just to end the day with a grand foolishness to applaud all the essential service providers. And after observing the response and its result he soon declared a Lockdown for 21 days starting from 25th March 0000 Hrs to 14th April 2020. WHO applauded this Lockdown but also advised India to take aggressive action as Lockdown is not the only option, the govt must prepare itself to test, isolate & treat more people. 

Following are the list of ESSENTIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS :-

1) CASH DISPENSING STAFF OF BANKS.

2) AIRPORT AND AIRLINES STAFF.

3) STAFF OF ELECTRICITY/POWER DISTRIBUTION CO. & TELECOM COMPANIES.

4) DELHI METRO STAFF

5) HOSPITAL STAFF INCLUDING PARA NURSING, TECHS, ETC.

6) PEOPLE SERVING CHILDREN AND ELDERLY HOMES, ETC. AND THOSE SUPPLYING FOODS TO THEM.

7) STAFF OF PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCIES IN UNIFORM.

8) STAFF OF CNG/PNG/LPG AND PETROL PUMPS.

Now we will see the order in which these ESSENTIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS work :-

1) AIRPORT & AIRLINE STAFF :- As this Virus will only come through outside carriers, every other passenger is a suspect and also a hidden carrier. No one knows who is carrying the virus and hence all the airline and the airport staff like security staff, the baggage loader, the Aircraft Engineering Staff, the Crews and throught them the Pilots are at highest risk. Anyone can come into contact and hence are the frontline Knights at work against this War. At the airport these passengers are scanned and the one suspected are directly sent to Quarantined Hospitals and the others are stamped on their left hand with the last date of their Home stay Quarantine so that they do not come in contact within that date with the outside world and infect them as it takes around 8-10 days to show the symptoms. 

2) HOSPITAL & CLINICAL STAFF :- The suspected patients are sent here to the clinics or the hospitals for the test and they are kept there for the next 24hrs as it takes that minimum time to show result. These staff are well prepared and with enhanced capabilities to tackle the situations and are the present time Godsmen. These are the set of people who are the Real Heroes who can turn the cards and listening to them is the only option you have if you really want to live. They set the rules and limits and also open to so many infected people. Zero tolerance is allowed in taking precautions as he being the Doctor and an healthcare staff can also infect in more numbers.

3)OTHERS :- The other essential service providers like the police officials, the govt officials, the electricity providers, the internet providers, the transport staff, the water suppliers, the grocery providers, the vegetable providers, etc. Play a vital role in this Lockdown. 

Its a Grand Appeal and an Humble request to all the people who are told to work from home or stay at home during this complete lockdown to please allow the smooth working of these essential service providers and not to dis-respect them or put false allegations or spread rumors about them that they are the one’s still working and might have got the virus till now. They already are in a fight to provide you with the service and can hold a very good position with all you people around and your support. A small gesture and good words of appreciation will boost their confidence and they shall feel safe and can concentrate on their work without thinking about their families if you do not ill treat them. 

There had been many incidents where the crews, engineers, pilots, doctors, nurses, loaders, labourers,etc. are asked to leave their rented room as they are at high risk. But every Airline is taking utmost precautions. The airline staff is provided with masks, gloves,sanitizers, etc. The clinical staff with aprons and other required essentials, they are tested on regular purpose for any symptoms and sent to quarantine if found any even with high temperature as strong immunity is the key to fight this virus.

Kudos to these people and Salute to be brave enough and participate all along for keeping our spirit alive to fight the war against virus. 

The doctors have seen the worst conditions and are pleading to not take this virus lightly and to take a good precaution by staying at your place, washing your hands, keeping safe distance when you go to take essential goods, etc. 

There are many guidelines given by the Ministry of Health to follow during this lockdown :-

1) Watch out for any symptoms like dry cough, fever or difficulty in breathing and contact associated helpline numbers.

2) Drugs have been made avaiable to restricted use against COVID-19 and hence don’t rush to buy those as to be used by only designated hospitals.

3) Strictly avoid visitors at home during quarantine.

4) Maintain Social Distancing

5) Face your fears and anxiety with facts, not discrimination. Let’s not Reject, harass, abuse, hurt or harm anyone. Not all who cough or sneeze have COVID-19.

6) After having oily or sweet in a meal, make sure to gargle.

Below are some Myth Busters provided by our Govt through MyGovIndia :-

1) No antibiotics work against viruses, only against bacteria. If you get hospitalized for 2019-nCoV, you may receive antibiotics since bacterial co-infection is possible.

2) Incubation period is not upto 5 days, most incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1-14 days.

3) One bowl of garlic is no cure to coronavirus as there is NO scientific evidence to this study.

4) Holding your breath for than 10 seconds without discomfort does not prove you are infected or not.

5) There is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit COVID-19.

6) Studies suggest that the virus may persist on surfaces for a few hours or upto several days. This may vary under different conditions (eg. Type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment)

7) Regular intake of Vit - C boosts immunity. However excessive intake is not recommended.

8) Not only older people but of all ages can be infected by the nCoV-2019. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions appear to be more vulnerable due weak immune.

9) There is no such treatment where the bitter gourd(Karela) juice can treat Coronavirus.

GIRL POWER - Women Empowering

Once there was this girl who was working in an MRO and its line station. She had a dream of working for the country's best airline and to leave a mark on it. She wanted to become one of the best engineers in the country alongside the best engineers they had. So she was trying very hard to get into the company. But company at that time had different plans, they use to hire girls only in QATS & PLM. She was not a type of girl sitting in front of computer and doing all the office work. She always wanted to be a part of the maintenance team, wanted to challenge herself and compete with her fellow collegues in doing heavy jobs with heavy machines as it gave her an adranaline rush as to be different from regular girls, making her hands dirty.

She gave interviews at her station of work arranged by her dream company and taken by one of the most famous and genuine personality of that company ( he had retired and that hurts). She attempted 3 such interviews but failed as said that the company had other plans. But her willingness and passion turned the tables and company then started hiring girls under the name of GIRL POWER. She was the very first girl to be hired under this act and was finally given the ticket to the main base of her dream company. As soon as the results came she was down on her knees and her eyes fully wet, couldn't believe what she heard from the HR as all the people from the station knew her, such was her maddness for the company.

She just removed her phone called her best friend and gave that news to him as he was already working in the same company trying hard from many other ways to get her in. He felt complete. On the very next week off he flew to her station met her, partied hard and she was all set to join her new company.

It was pretty easy for her to make collegues in her dream company as she was already known because of her best friend, but it was never easy for her to make a mark by her work. It was as difficult as it is for every girl in the society to make a mark in this male dominated society. But she was not a type of girl to give up and as her besite told her how to take every thing professionally and learn from actions taken by an individual this was sort of very difficult time she ever had.

She had some good and bad experiences and came to know that the bigger the company the bigger task it is to survive as everyone is on their toes to grab your chance. Here you have to grab the opportunity unlike life that gives you one. First she had to struggle real hard but slowly she learned and her approach changed.

Now she was an year older in the company and had her interest in grabbing a higher bag of gold. Her life as a technician she thought was all limited and now she had to be an engineer. She was helped by one of the most liked trainee engineer and had a great bond with her. She made her guru and was grabbing as much knowledge from her as she could. They soon became best friends. But they didn't knew it was for a short while. As the company had their own requirements. And due lack of technicians they had to take trainee engineers from outside. But then again her willpower to become an engineer brought her the biggest opportunity. And she got a call from a rival company to become an engineer. She had to go through many rounds, the written exam, the technical round and the VP round ( not less than a different level technical round). She was hungry and she was happy and thanked the almighty for giving her such a chance. But the thing happened and she passed all the interviews and written exams and she was selected as an engineer.

She was shocked, she was the youngest as well. Now she had a double minded thing running down her CNS. She struggled real hard for getting selected in her dream company. She ran, she jumped, she fell but rose again fought for her dream company and now after a year later she had another company offering her a position that she always wanted from her dream company. Now here it was very difficult for her to make a decision. Life changing and the most important one. It was all about the need and not about the wants. And so after discussing and gathering alot of courage she accepted. She resigned. She was on notice period and everyday she use to make it to the fullest. She made a place in everyone's heart and made a mark that girls too can do what boys can. Only in a year she made a mark that every girl coming was shown that be like her.

Sitting around she went to her past thinking how difficult it was for her to grab to survive the school life with harshness. Coming from a lower middleclass family where she use to get limited food, her school fees only came through some bank scholarships and she was instructed if you loose the scholarship you will loose your further studies. This kept her going and she use to always be on the top. Soon her dedication landed her into this field where she flourished today. This is such a an amazing life struggle. 

Hearty congratulations to you. A token of goodbye to you Miss Afreen Khan. You will always be remembered.

EPISODE VI

STRUGGLE

Both Sanjay and Shobha were sitting near the river banks and were thinking of what Daksha had said. His voice was echoing in their minds and they were disturbed. Kaminibai along with some Vaasi's was preparing dinner and saw her children sitting away like this. She gave them their time to recover as they couldn't handle what they heard. The Vaasi's who were loyal enough in the journey were sent back by Kaminibai, yet three of them stayed.

As the food was ready, Kaminibai went to her children sat by their side and asked, " Aren't you both hungry? I have cooked your favourite fish today." "Is it really going to happen whatever he said AAI?" asked Shobha. "Don't you worry baby tai, these all are just fooling us so that we get distracted." assured Sanjay. Hearing that Kaminibai smiled, pulled her daughter in her arms and said, " Life is not about thinking of your future, it's about achieving and living in present. Fight against all the odds and live with it. No one can be happy forever. Learn to handle things the way life gives you." Shobha nodded with a smile and got up to have food. She simultaneously pulled Sanjay and ran away. The child in them was just acting out but that child soon became a warrior again. As they reached the spot, they saw the Vaasi's were out dead.

Kaminibai reached for her sword and so did Sanjay and Shobha. All of them stood in a stance as such that they could kill in a 360 deg angle. with their killing angle of 120 deg each. Sanjay sensed a bow coming its way through the jungle and was ready to cut it down. He concentrated in such a manner that he could sense its speed and as the bow penetrated through the dark jungle reaching Sanjay his fast protecting reflexes perfectly sliced the bow. But this was not the end. The enemy showered with bows and all of them were defending it perfectly enough. As they knew this was not working they soon started to come out from the dark and started the sword fight. In between the fights, the Tactics were well caught by Kaminibai and shouted," Why are you attacking us Shirke? Its your men who are dying and not us you fool." "Stop everybody" Shouted Ganpatrao Shirke to his men. "Shame on you, you could not kill these three Gaura's. How are you going to get Shantaram?" asked Shirke. To this Kaminibai replied,"SHIRKE! THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK YOU COWARD. ORELSE YOUR NAME WILL ONLY BE TAKEN IN HISTORY YOU SCOUNDREL. Why are you doing this? Who gave you the bribe to get us you Son of." "SHUT UP! Mind your language your highness, this type of behaviour doesn't set an example like you people think you do. Your brother-in-laws are such a dogs. They gave us an offer to let go of their half of the kingdom to me if I vanish the family of Shantaram Gaura. And then announce that while running through this jungle you people could not sustain and eventually went to your favourite God, THE MAHADEO. I came to know what Sanjay did and how you ran and since then I am following you. I was just waiting for the best chance and here it is." "Its still not here Shirke." a stern voice that made the Shirkes worried and horrified as they knew who he was. Ganpatrao turned towards him shivering "Shantaram?"

Kaminibai along with Sanjay & Shobha ran towards the man of the family with a slight happiness rolling down their eyes standing besides him with their swords straight and ready to cut down every single one of them touching it. "Its been a long time I got my hands on the sword. Tell your men don't disappoint me." saying this the Gaura's ran towards the Shirkes with full force. Even if the Gaura's were outnumbered but this family can never be. The slaughtering started and Shantaram was all in action as if the Rudra avatar was his name. He gave no chance to others and was racing down to Ganpatrao slicing the other Shirkes as if they were just a piece of fruit present in the jungle. Ganpatrao thought he had too many people to keep the Gaura's busy so that he could elope, but he forgot that for Shantaram its never enough. Soon the army was slaughtered by the Gaura's and it was now time for Ganpatrao. He was running with his life at stake even though he knew that he was not going to make it. Soon Ganpatrao saw a village nearby and was heading towards it. But before he could make it, Shantaram threw his Shastra of Axe that stab him through, and his body just dropped on the boundary. The villagers got terrified and came out to ask him about the situation, but he was already gone. The village Mukhya saw in the jungle and asked who's there, come here and fight like a MAN. As they saw some movements, men took their position. Slowly Shantaram with red eyes and covered in blood along with his family stepped out of the jungle. The Mukhya recognised and got to his knees, seeing this the men also got on their knees. "BABA" said the Mukhya. Everyone was delighted. Shantaram got to him caught by his shoulders and made him stand and soon hugged him," Shambhu, my son." Kaminibai smiled but Sanjay and Shobha looking at each other confused.

The Gaura's were then welcomed and made comfortable, served dinner and later had to explain what had happened. To this Shambhu couldn't control his anger and raged to settle the matter their ways. But Shantaram stopped him and said I don't want you to do anything just one small thing. I want this man's head hanging on the bow at my house tomorrow telling my brothers that I am still alive and very much waiting for my chance to get back to village after my work in the city has ended. Shambhu agreed and let them have a hut to sleep. As soon they got in the hut, Kaminibai couldn't stop and started crying apologising to Shantaram for whatever happened. She couldn't take that insult. Sanjay and Shobha also apologised and said that 'they are the reason for this and not AAI.' Shantaram stepped close to them but hugged all and said "We are Gaura's, we have a prestige. I don't care even if I am alone, I will fight for the right and demolish all the bad I could. You'll also did the same thing, so its OK." They felt relieved by the guilt they thought they were carrying and were happy to see their Man back. But the curious children were talking in gestures as if they wanted to ask something. Shantaram sensed that and asked," Is it something you wanna ask children?" Hesistantly Both said "YES." "WHO IS SHAMBHU?" asked Sanjay. To this Shantaram smiled and said," Once upon a time after your Grandfather died, he handed over the powers to me. Not directly but through process you know. But not everyone could digest that, not just your uncles but the outsiders as well. They wanted our Gaurawadi as it was flourished with one of the best flora and fauna. So they knew they couldn't do anything that could challenge me and hence they started disturbing our nature. They started killing our animals and burning down our farms with such materials that we could not grow and plant till the present time. Our farming was then handled by Shambhu's father. He was the one who kept our Gaurawadi beautiful. But during this burn down process Shambhu lost his father. Burnt alive by those outsiders. We took our revenge but that was not enough to bring his father back. So all I did was to built his community their own small village and made Shambhu their Mukhya. Away from the mess we had at our place, somewhere near to Nirvana. Like how peaceful it is to stay here right? So this is all about Shambhu." "BABA you are great. I wish to have a son who could be like you as I can never be." " Your son will be more than what I was. Now let's sleep, tomorrow we will finally go to our place." "Gaurawadi?" Asked Shobha worried. "No. In Nombay." smiled  Shantaram and they all slept  with happy faces.

EPISODE V

STRUGGLE

Sanjay and Shobha were now in control of their respective horses and so they were riding it with pace racing with each other. Kaminibai was watching all this and was smiling looking at the childish nature of her grown children. Sanjay and Shobha went too far ahead racing and could not be seen. Suddenly, “AAI…” Sanjay shouted. Everyone got panic and went in the direction of the sound. They reached the spot and were happy to see both of them were safe, “WHY DID YOU SHOUTED AS IF YOU WERE IN TROUBLE YOU DUMB?” asked Kaminibai to Sanjay to this Shobha laughed, “SORRY, SEE THERE IS A HUT OF A SAADHU. ITS BIG ISN’T IT? I THINK WE SHOULD ASK THEM FOR A NIGHT STAY AND HAVE A YUMMY SAATVIK FOOD.” said Sanjay. Kaminibai gave a nod in positive and everyone headed to their hut.

Sanjay knocked the door before entering, even if the door was open. There came a Saadhu with a smile, “PLEASE COME IN. HAVE A SEAT.” Everyone they followed him. They tied their horses and sat on mat which was right in front of the house. They were then asked to wash their legs first and so they did, after washing they were given jaagery to eat and water. Everyone were so happy by the way they were treated, they were just praising them. They then asked them to have a seat. Then came the head of the Saadhus and said, “GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, MY NAME IS DAKSHA AND I AM THE HEAD OF THE SAADHUS HERE. HOW MAY I HELP YOU?” “WE ARE GAURA’S, AND WE HAPPEN TO LOST OUR WAY TO THE CITY. THESE AADIVASI’S ARE HERE TO HELP US FIND OUR WAY. BUT NOW ITS BECOMING DARK AND WE SAW YOUR HUGE HUT AND WANTED TO ASK YOU FOR A FAVOUR, THAT WILL YOU PLEASE ALLOW US TO STAY HERE FOR THE NIGHT, WE WON’T DISTURB YOU AT ALL AND WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN FOOD. JUST GIVE US SOME MATS TO SLEEP AND WE WILL LEAVE TOMORROW MORNING.” said Kaminibai. “YOU ALL ARE WELCOMED AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU PEOPLE TO MAKE ANY FOOD AS WE ALREADY HAVE DONE THAT. WE TOO HAVE MANY SAADHU STUDENTS WHO RESIDE HERE AND SO THE FOOD IS MADE IN AMPLE. SO DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE FOOD. WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MATS.” Kaminibai smiled and did a Namastey as a thanking gesture to which Daksha replied the same. Kaminibai was thinking how lucky she is to meet such people in her life. She was thankfull to God. Then saw at Sanjay and Shobha. Both of them went to Saadhu and asked for more jaggery, he smiled and gave them. Kaminibai nodded and was thinking to take their class later at night. But as soon as they took the jaggery Shobha returned happily, but Sanjay was in a suspicious mood. Looking at the jaggery and also here and there thinking about something. Kaminibai was curious and went to her son and said, “WHAT HAPPENED MY BOY? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?” “THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS AAI, I FELT RELAXED, MY BODY TEMPERATURE WAS STABLE. DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY GREETED US. I MEAN WHO IN THE NAME OF GOD CAN BE SO GOOD. I SMELL A TRAP AAI.” Said Sanjay. “WELCOMING WITH A JAGGERY AND WATER IS OUR CULTURE. REASON BEING THE SAME WHAT YOU FELT AFTER HAVING IT. NEXT THING, NEVER EVER JUDGE ANYONE BY THE GESTURES. THEY COULD BE FALSE THEY COULD BE TRUE, WHATSOEVER GO WITH IT. YOU CANNOT STAY SUSPICIOUS TILL THE TIME YOU GET SATISFIED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TO BE BELIEVED.  FACE YOUR TROUBLE WHEN IT COMES. DON’T THINK BEFORE AND MAKE ONE. IS THAT CLEAR TO YOU. GROW UP AND ENJOY WITH TIME. IF YOU CAN’T THINK GOOD, DON’T THINK BAD. FLOW WITH TIME. THERE IS NOTHING BIGGER THAN TIME.”said Kaminibai and went away. Sanjay stood there with jaggery in his hand thinking what his mom said.

Later at night they had a nice dinner and were pleased with the food. It was tasty. Sweet at the end to finish the dinner in a royal manner. The Saadhus then had their dinner after the Gaura’s and the company. The Gaura’s then together sat in a room where there was a big SHIVLINGA. It was so soothing that all three of them were feeling relaxed. It was so silent that they could hear the sound of grasshopper only and no one else. Then came Daksha and sat behind them. All of them got up as they saw Daksha sitting. They did a Namastey. He told them to sit. “ IT WAS A LONG JOURNEY RIGHT? COMING HERE WAS NOT EASY I COULD SEE.” Signaling it to the wounds they had due to their fight with Manthra and family. “BUT I KNEW, YOU ALL WILL MAKE IT.” The Gaura’s were confused as to how he knows that we were going to visit him.  “YOU ARE SHOCKED! I COULD SEE THAT. THINKING HOW DID I KNOW THAT YOU GAURA’S ARE GOING TO VISIT ME. ITS ALL WRITTEN MY CHILD. ITS ALL WRITTEN. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS, HOW TO READ. TODAY I CAME IN HERE TO VISIT YOU PEOPLE JUST TO TELL YOU WHAT’S THE IMPORTANT THING YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE THS HUT. IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU, OR YOU MIGHT FEEL WHAT I AM TELLING IS WORTHLESS. BUT AS I SAID I HAVE TO DO IT.”  Sanjay was slowly heading his hand towards knife as he started his philosophical talks. “DON’T WORRY SANJAY I AM NOT HERE TO KILL YOU, OR ANY ONE OF YOU. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR FUTURE. I KNOW THAT YOU PEOPLE WON’T BELIEVE ME BUT GOD WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY AND YOU WILL THEN REALISE THAT WHATEVER I SAID WAS TRUE. TO BE STRAIGHT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER YOU DID TO ABANDON YOUR HOUSE AND GOING TO YOUR HUSBAND WAS A GOOD DECISION. I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO NOT GO BACK TO THAT HOUSE AGAIN UNTILL YOU SANJAY, UNTILL YOU DON’T GET MARRIED. SHOBHA IS GOING TO GET MARRIED SOON BUT THE BOY SHE WILL BE MARRIED TO WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING AND YET YOU KAMINI, YOU AND SHANTARAM WILL BE MARRYING HER TO THAT BOY. I DON’T KNOW, BUT FROM SOME PRESSURE YOU WILL DO IT. I TOLD SANJAY NOT TO ENTER THAT HOUSE AGAIN BECAUSE YOUR PARTNER IS GOING TO BE WATER TO YOU. YOU ARE FIRE, YOUR WIFE WILL BE WATER. THE BEST GIFT EVER TO BE GIVEN TO YOU WILL BE THE AIR COMING OUT OF YOU BOTH. YOU CARRY A BOY WHO WILL BE THE MOST UNSTABLE PERSONALITY IN HIS INITIAL STAGE. HIS ANGER WILL HAVE NO MATCH, HIS POWER WILL MOSTLY DEPEND ON HIS OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE. HE WON’T BE THE ONE TO BE SEEN AS COURAGEOUS, BUT HE WILL BE QUICK AND WITTY. HE WILL BE THE ONE TO BE A SPLIT PERSON AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW WHO HE REALLY IS. HE WILL SHOW HIS POWER TO MAKE EVERYONE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE THE ONE TO GO AGAINST ALL THE ODDS. YOU CARRY A GREATER VERSION OF YOURSELF. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH MAHADEO BUT YOUR WIFE WILL BE A VISHNU BHAKTA AND YOUR UNION IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAURA’S. HE IS GOING TO RELEASE THEM FROM THE BAD STRUCTURE WHICH WILL BE FORMED BY YOUR UNCLES SANJAY. HE WILL BE NAUGHTY IN HIS OWN WAY. AS HE WILL GROW YOU WILL SEE HIM GETTING STRONG BUT HIS ANGER WILL BE SO LESS THAT YOU WON’T EVEN COME TO KNOW WHEN WILL HE BE ANGRY. HIS POWERS TO HIDE HIS EMOTIONS, READ FACES, MIND, VOICE WILL BE GROWING AS HE AGES AND HIS SENSING OF THE SURROUNDING WILL BE MUCH MORE GREATER THAN ANYONE YOU KNOW. ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILD UNTILL 18 HAS TO BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL THE THINGS WHICH MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEM, LIKE FAME AND CROWD. HE WILL ALSO CAUSE A YOU TO BE ANGRY BY HIS BEHAVIOUR AND WILL ALSO MANIPULATE HIS MOM TO BE ON HIS SIDE AS AIR SUPPORTS BURNING AND A TARNADO WILL DRIVE TH WAVES. HE WILL B….” “ENOUGH!!!!” said Sanjay. “SANJAY.” Shouted Kaminibai, “SAY SORRY TO HIM AND DON’T EVER DO IT AGAIN.” “HE IS TALKING RUBBISH, HE IS TRYING TO MAKE ME GO IN A PROUD STATE SO THAT I COULD START IMAGINING AND HE WILL MAKE HIS MOVE. (Looking towards Daksh) I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU THINK. I DON’T IMAGINE, I BE PRACTICAL. AND WE DON’T BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING SAID BY A SAADHU. SO DO NOT MANIPULATE US.” and both Sanjay and Shobha left in anger. “REALLY SORRY GURUJI, YOU SAID IT RIGHT, HE IS FIRE, I KNOW THAT. BUT I ALSO DON’T FIND ANY LOGIC BEHIND THIS. WHY WOULD WE MARRY HER TO A BOY WHO HAS NOTHING? ITS TIME TO SLEEP. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS.” Said Kaminibai and she left. Next morning they all got up early and were on the gates. Sanjay and Shobha already left, they were accompanied by some aadivasis. Kaminibai stood at the gate, “THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING GURUJI. THERE COULD BE NOTHING MORE THAN THIS FOR US IN THIS JUNGLE. THE WAY YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS TREATED US WAS ROYAL, WE DON’T KNOW WE DESERVE IT OR NOT BUT YOU DID THAT. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THAT THE WORLD IS STILL A BETTER PLACE.” “ATITHI DEVO BHAVA” said Daksha and did a Namastey. Kaminibai did the same sat on her horse and left. Daksha stood there smiling.

IDEALLY NAUGHTY

• ·         Birds are singing, trees are swaying with winds, it’s a silent morning on the roads of Gaurawadi
• ·         Bhavani temple situated in the centre of the village
• ·         The head of this village Mr. Ramchandra Gaura was a child of then Mukhya of this village who had a great ruling sense.
• ·         The Mukhya was a devotee of Goddess Bhavani, he had more people to handle than now and was always ready to face anyone. He too was a great person by heart, but his brothers were jealous of his popularity and success. They betrayed him and allowed enemies to get inside of his village somehow and it was a disastrous fight. Ramchandra was the hero of that fight and had won the battle killing his uncles and the enemies as well. Though he won that battle, the Mukhya was so badly injured that he died. While dying Mukhya said to Ramchandra to take over the responsibility of this village and also said a secret of the blessing he had from the Bhavani Mata(mother). He said " If anytime this village will face an impossible problem, there will always be a Tiger to save us from it. He is none other than the Vahan(vehicle) of our Bhavani Mata."
• ·         Ramchandra had 4 sons and 1 daughter, all sons were irresponsible except for the 3rd one named Shantaram. Shantaram was a very smart boy, smart in studies and good with sword in a time where fighting skills weren't needed.
• ·         As Ramchandra was a devotee of Bhavani Mata, she gave him a locket with the nail of her tiger. Yes, it was the Waaghnakh(Nail of Tiger) to Ramchandra and told him to let this locket decide your village's new leader. Everyone was happy and it was finally decided that Shantaram would be the one to lead this village.
• ·         Shantaram got married to a girl 10 years younger than him. She was an average looking girl with a heart of gold.
• ·         One day Shantaram heard that there was a military selection camp in one of the neighboring village. Now this was an amazing opportunity for him to put forth his brothers and get them employed. All were angry on Shantaram yet with due respect for their father, they apologized and also agreed that they would go to the selection process.
• ·         Two of them returned on the third day itself, they failed. So Shantaram declared in front of everyone that he is not going to take their responsibility anymore and that they should go on to look up for their own living, to which the brothers got worried.
• ·         Some months passed and soon Kaminibai delivered a baby girl and named her Shobha. She was healthy and was pretty, looking like her father. Everyone was happy in the village and had a feast for this. At the end of the feast Shantaram gave a blow to the villagers by telling them that he is going to shift to a new city and that they should elect a new Mukhya.
• ·         Shantaram will stay to be the Mukhya of this village even if he doesn’t stay in this village  said the villagers. This decision made Shantaram shocked and his brothers even more jealous.
• ·         The cart started to move and soon Shantaram was out of sight.
• ·         “Here, we reached.” said Shantaram to his wife Kaminibai and her daughter Shobha, giving them a hand to get down from the cart.
• ·         He opened the door, moved his hand towards Kaminibai and taking her hand in his hand he said, “Forget the past and lets start our new life.”
• ·         She was screaming, screaming as if her bones are cracking all at once. “It’s a BOY.”
• ·         On the name keeping ceremony roar of the Tiger was heard all of them shouted in unison, “AAI JAGADAMBECHA UDO UDO, HAR HAR MAHADEO.”
• ·         He was running hard, hard as he could “BABA .”
• ·         It was a cheetah who was chasing its prey and found a much bigger prey than before. Both of them were looking into each other’s eyes as to predict what will be the next move. He did that what she expected, cheetah did his move, he jumped on her  as if it was his own meat territory but Kaminibai was all ready for this as she went down on her knees bent herself down from the back in the direction of his jump and inserted her knife accurately into his chest.
• ·         “ We are leaving by tomorrow.” Said Kaminibai “No” said the Elder BIL “ This is not fair.” She said to this the younger BIL slapped her. This was the worst he could do to make Sanjay angry enough that he went near him and started to beat the shit out of his uncle. Everyone was trying to stop Sanjay but they did not succeed, he kept on hitting him as if it was the fight for survival. Uncle started to run away but Sanjay managed to stop him in the center of the village and he was hammering his own uncle in front of everyone with the series of abusive words. No one had the guts to stop Sanjay such was his anger.
• ·         It was one dense forest, quietly walking with his face down with Shobha and Kaminibai following him, Sanjay did not stop. Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw that hut. “Is there anyone inside.?” They entered the hut and the door behind them got close automatically and locked. It was a rod coming from the dark right on their heads, BANG!!!
• ·         “Hello everyone, my name is Manthra” with an axe in hand covered with fresh blood with typical dhoti. After many attempts he finally got hold of the knife and cut open his knot. He soon ran to his family and made them free. While doing this they heard of a grinding machine getting started. The lights went off in the room and there was a Thud sound heard again. As his eyes opened and he was getting conscious and a grinding machine nearing him. His eyes got widened and he had no clue to what should he do.
• ·         She was successful in getting herself out from the knot but was waiting for the right time to hop off. “Well you are being too sexy to be called a woman with two kids. I am enjoying this. You are a wild cat.” This was not at all funny for Sanjay. He took the sword from the corner, ran like a flash towards Manthra, moved his hand through his neck. Before Manthra could realize from where did he come from, he had his neck out of his body. Kaminibai’s eyes popped out and she was shocked to see her opponent in two by none other than her own child. Sanjay’s eyes were red with rage standing in a style as he knew he hit a bull’s eye. “No one messes with my family. I said no one.”
• ·         The Gaura’s were riding on horses and the Vaasi’s walking with them. They soon reached their Niwas Sthan (Place where they live). The Gaura’s were welcomed with flowers and drums, their traditional way of welcoming a honorary person. Sanjay and Shobha still confused what is going on.
• ·         “Who are they AAI? How do they know us? Why did they went on their knees?” To this Kaminibai smiled and said, “Once upon a time there was a MAN who had a brilliant personality but was on wheelchair due illness. It was his daughters marriage and everyone around were happy. Marriage was set to happen at the grooms village and it went in a proper way and the bride side were now travelling back to their village. While coming they had to pass through this Niwas Sthan. When they entered, no one was around. But the clothes, utensils were lying outside like a mess. Pin drop silence was there. People sensed something unusual as many of them use to pass this place and it was always a chaos around here, but what happened today. Then that man who was on the wheelchair stopped everyone and was trying to get up. His faithful child gave him a hand while standing. He went ahead and was picking a cloth. He saw the foot marks, they were familiar to him. He gave a look around and then he came to know what’s the matter. He smoothly dragged his hand towards his waist, held his knife and threw at the opposite side of where he was watching. BULLSEYE!!!! A Lootera(goon) was just killed by that man. The time this happened, the lootera’s hopped from the hiding surrounding these people. Less they knew that these were none other than the people of Gaura’s. Even if they were outnumbered, they had the courage to fight till the last breath and they did. That Man also fought for these villagers. It was he who said that we would either kill you or die. But he never expected that this would be his last. While fighting with 2 lootera’s this man was attacked by one from the back as they knew they couldn’t compete. His son was so angry that like a flash he ended the war as he could not take this. The war ended, Gaura’s won but they lost their best Mukhya. That Man was none other than RAMCHANDRA GAURA, your grandfather. That faithfull and angry son was your dad who killed these lootera’s like it was a piece of paper. The villagers were sad that because of them the Gaura’s lost their most important person. They gave agni to this man and said that the VAASI’S will always be grateful and faithful to his family. And this is why we are being treated in such a way.”

A new episode is on it’s way.

STRUGGLE

Something was poking Sanjay, he thought it might be a stone so he ignored. But then he realized that poking was deliberate and his brain signaled him of danger. He kept his eyes closed and moved acting as if he was adjusting himself in sleep and moved his hand towards his knife. As soon as he reached, he grabbed it and woke up lightning fast showing the knife. The Aadivasi’s got frightened by this act and started shouting. Sanjay was confused, questioning himself, who are they and what are they doing here? This shouting woke Shobha and Kaminibai. Shobha got cautious and also removed her knife. Kaminibai smiled and told both of them to put their knife’s down and convinced her children that these are harmless people. She went ahead to talk with them. As they came to know who she is, all of them went on their knees.  Sanjay and Shobha still in confusion. Kaminibai told them to raise and asked for shelter. They were happy and arranged horses for them. The Gaura’s were riding on horses and the Vaasi’s walking with them. They soon reached their Niwas Sthan (Place where they live). The Gaura’s were welcomed with flowers and drums, their traditional way of welcoming a honorary person. Sanjay and Shobha still confused what is going on.

The Gaura’s were then taken by the Mukhya to his house and was welcomed by washing their feets and putting a Tilak on their forehead chanting ‘JAI BHAVANI.’ Gaura’s were then made to sit and were given a special juice made of ayurvedic herbs and a piece of jaggery. Sanjay and Shobha made faces while drinking that which made people laugh and the moment light. They all started interacting and time passed. It was night and the Gaura’s had their dinner with the Vaasi’s. As the day ended the curious Gaura’s kids couldn’t control themselves and had to ask, “Who are they AAI? How do they know us? Why did they went on their knees?” To this Kaminibai smiled and said, “Once upon a time there was a MAN who had a brilliant personality but was on wheelchair due illness. It was his daughters marriage and everyone around were happy. Marriage was set to happen at the grooms village and it went in a proper way and the bride side were now travelling back to their village. While coming they had to pass through this Niwas Sthan.

The villagers were sad that because of them the Gaura’s lost their most important person. They gave agni to this man and said that the VAASI’S will always be grateful and faithful to his family. And this is why we are being treated in such a way.”

Sanjay and Shobha were feeling proud but also sad as they could not see their grandfather. “Your Great Grandfather had won various such battles, later he gave the throne to your Grandfather. He too never lost any battle, but the similarities between them was that none of them went to expand their territory. They were happy with what they had and wanted to excel in every aspect. All the battles held were against those who tried to capture our village but none of them succeeded. We never forced ourselves on anyone. Our land had always welcomed everyone with hands open. Today in townside and rest of the country we have constitution and we are republic citizens. But villages like Gaurawadi and someothers are spared from this as they still haven’t invaded us in anyways. We still rule like the kings and will be ruling till our people won’t feel insecure of their way and standard of living. Because our constitution is not ours, it still follows the British standards and our country will always lack to progress till the time we don’t have our own standards. Till now there were Brahmins and Kshatriyas who were discriminating the Vaishyas and the Shudras as the Untouchables. But Karma is a bitch, hope their children and grandchildren don’t suffer in a way they would never recover. Enough for the day, now go to sleep, tomorrow we would be leaving, they would guide us to our town.” Yay !!! said Shobha and Sanjay, who then went to sleep.

Later in the morning, the Vaasi’s and the Gaura’s started their day out and left for the journey.

Sanjay and Shobha felt so inspiring and were pumped after hearing their history. Now they were all set to go on one another adventurous ride to their town. Would this be the end to their troubled journey or God has still something up for them. To know more, hang on to this space. Do like, share and comment on the blog.

IDEALLY NAUGHTY - 2 (PART III)

PART III

(STRUGGLE)

Sanjay was trying hard to get a solution to this, as to how should he get out of this and save himself and his family but he couldn’t do much. But to his surprise the machine stopped and he was picked up by his head by none other than Manthra. He held him by his hairs as Sanjay was growling in pain. “You pricky guy, you were trying to run from the catch of Manthra, how dare you do that? I have already said that don’t do that right? I said if you wanted a peaceful death you should not do that. But no, I suppose you need to get tortured, tortured to death.” Said Manthra. Meanwhile Kaminibai had enough and she was already in action. She was successful in getting herself out from the knot but was waiting for the right time to hop off.

As soon as Manthra took a breathe out of his dialogues she thought this was the time and like a Warrior she jumped out and sliced Manthra with the knife she had. Manthra was shocked and went to the corner of the room with an angry look ready to fight the Gaura’s. Kaminibai cut open the knot of Sanjay and Shobha. “Well well well, the Gaura’s give training to their mothers as well. I suppose the daughters too could have a hand on the weapons as well, haven’t they? That’s so brave of you Gaura’s but just not forget that you are not dealing with the goats and cocks are you? So don’t be fools and drop your weapon and surrender because you know you won’t be able to outnumber me. I am a ruthless maneater and I don’t look like the one who could grant mercy. So will you please ?” saying this Manthra put forward his hand expecting them to put their weapons down. All this was not digestive to the Gaura’s, Kaminibai said, “You ruthless killer, you are not the first person that we are dealing with. So just don’t be a pussy and fight like a man if you are one. Because today, right now, it’s either we or you whose gonna go out alive. Let’s bring an end to this endless melodrama of the jungle. Just let me know how you want your body parts to be smashed off? Do you want your jungle mates to have fun or should I give you the respectable death?” this was way too much for Manthra, without a second thought he hopped with his knife in a move to cut slice of the lady who was talking way too much, but to his surprise she managed to dodge that and was now on the other side of the so called podium. They had a good eye contact waiting for the next move, Manthra couln’t wait more and attacked her and this time he was successful, he managed to get a cut on her hand, but her reaction to it was like a total warrior. She did not even look at the cut and was still staring at him in his eyes. “Well you are being too sexy to be called a woman with two kids. I am enjoying this. You are a wild cat.” This was not at all funny for Sanjay. He took the sword from the corner, ran like a flash towards Manthra, moved his hand through his neck. Before Manthra could realize from where did he come from, he had his neck out of his body. Kaminibai’s eyes popped out and she was shocked to see her opponent in two by none other than her own child. Sanjay’s eyes were red with rage standing in a style as he knew he hit a bull’s eye. “No one messes with my family. I said no one.”

“What was that? Are you mad? This is not how we fight. It was between us.” Said Kaminibai. “No AAI, fight like a warrior with a warrior not with a traitor. He deserves this. All these principles are not to be followed against everyone.” Replied Sanjay. “Good one.” Said Shobha. They picked the swords around them and were now proceeding towards the exit. They knew he was not the only one in the house and so they were ready for the fight. They moved in pack and Sanjay was leading them. They moved on to his hall where his wife and children were ready with the swords to get revenge. Not a second was wasted and the Manthra family attacked. Good lord it was a perfect match as the wife attacked Kaminibai, her daughter on Shobha and her son on Sanjay. They all were professionals so it was all like a war. Sanjay was all defending himself as Manthra’s son was way too attacking and had a strong hand over Sanjay but it happened again. Manthra’s son lost his balance and slept of the blood down on the floor giving Sanjay an upper hand in this one-to-one combat slicing another head out of the body. Simultaneously Shobha was also in her best, she had a clean action of her attack and did not gave her opponent a chance as she was not much of her match. Shobha easily removed her intestines out of her torso. It was Kaminibai vs Manthra’s wife. It was seen that both were having equal hand in the combat. Both the ladies were giving their best, but they were not at all interested in this fair match. Shobha was going to attack when Kaminibai shouted, “NO.” She backed off. Kaminibai was now tired, it can be seen. “That’s it?” asked Manthra’s wife. Kaminibai nodded a no and that’s when Manthra’s wife hopped like a tiger but Kaminibai got her move and she went down on her back and she stabbed her precisely. Finally the combat ended.

Kaminibai was trying to regain her breathe, somehow she managed to do so and they started running. She couldn’t grab the distance much and fell down. Sanjay and Shobha were worried as they never saw their mother getting so weak before. As Sanjay took his mother on lap he noticed that she had a cut on her stomach. Blood had already made her saree damp, the reason why she was feeling weak. Sanjay took her on his shoulder now and started walking. As the sun was coming to rest they had to stop, but the halt should be a safe place as the danger is still not over. So he continued to walk, by god’s grace they soon saw a waterfall and decided to spend this night at its base. Shobha cleaned the wound with the water. She saw the cut was deep but could be healed. By the time Sanjay had been to take some medicine and food. He managed to bring the medicine as he was aware of some ayurvedic solutions for such wounds. As they were near to a waterfall they had a protinious food of fish and slept.

What will be coming ahead in their journey, no one knows. They had already passed many miles walking now. They are expecting a miracle so that they would get out of this jungle and reach their destination. Shantaram was unware of this thing. The Gaura’s managed to get out of the jaw of Manthra. But this was a jungle, and you never know what could come ahead.
