Had said that I'd touch upon Covid related stories for a couple of days but since I've been able to get a few more interesting stories, have decided to extend it by another day. Without much ado, here we go!
(a) Kindness Begets Kindness.
A group of migrant workers from Bihar, MP and UP were quarantined in a primary school in
Palsana village in Sikar district, Rajasthan. When the Village Sarpanch went to meet them, they
pointed to the poor state of the school building and said if he could arrange paint and brushes,
they could spend their time well. In a week they changed the face of the school building which
had not been painted for years. When the Sarpanch wanted to pay them from the panchayat
funds, they politely declined and said, "We are getting free food, are being looked after by the
medical staff and so well by the villagers, what more do we need? We should also do something
for the village".
True workers don't throw stones at doctors, spit on nurses, burn ambulances. They are true to
their work.
(b) Corona Diaries....
In a remote interior district of Thiruchirappally, Tamilnadu, a very poor pregnant lady, enduring
labour pains with great difficulty reaches the district hospital, 7 km away. The doctors said that
only 'C' section can be done and will require 1 unit of blood for the mother, but was unavailable
because of Covid-19 lock down. The husband steps in desperation to arrange for blood.
He is questioned by a police constable for breaking lock down rules.....After hearing the story,
the constable says.......I'm of the same blood group and agree to donate the blood.
The delivery takes place and both mother and the infant boy are safe and sound. The SP, after
hearing the story, rewards the constable Rs.1,000/-. DGP of Tamilnadu hears the story and gifts
him Rs.10,000/-
The 23 year old constable, in turn, gifts the entire Rs.11,000/- to Sulochana, the mother, for the
hospital bills......
Salute Constable Syed Abu Thahir!
(c) Truly Inspiring.
India's First Lady, Mrs. Savita Kovind - wife of the Honourable President of India - is
stitching face masks at Shakti Haat for various shelter homes of New Delhi. I doff my hat for
you, Ma'am!
And Today Was Zero Shadow Day.
Madras : 1207 hrs.
Bangalore : 1218 hrs.
Mangalore : 1225 hrs.
A zero shadow day is a day on which the Sun does not cast a shadow of an object at noon when the Sun is exactly at the "zenith". Shadows of straight objects like poles, bottles etc will disappear. They will appear surreal as if floating in air!
This happens twice a year for the people living between latitudes of 23.5 degrees N and 23.5 degrees S.
Tailpiece.
Got up at our usual time, the chores and was ready by a half past 9. Seena had come by to help Lekha with her monthly pedicure and massage. Ramesh, the gardener and his assistant, Appu, worked till lunch time in clipping the grass patch, de-weeding and rearranging the potted plants.
