1. Projection
Switzerland's iconic Matterhorn mountain was illuminated with the Indian flag "to express
solidarity and give hope and strength to all Indians". "The world is fighting COVID-19
together. Humanity will surely overcome this pandemic", Prime Minister Narendra Modi
responded to the gesture. The flags of the US, Italy, Japan and Germany were also beamed
on to the mountain.

2. The Vision
Florence Nightingale had said in 1870, "It will take 150 years for the world to see the kind of
nursing I envision......"
And to jog your memory :-

3. If The Experts Were To Be Believed.
Experts are predicting a huge downfall of Economy due to the Corona. I do not know much about
these experts. But I know for sure that they do not know anything about the value of human
motivation and determined efforts.
If experts were to be believed, after the total destruction in the II World War, Japan had no future.
But the same Japan in just three decades or so, made the US cry at the market place.
If the experts were to be believed, Israel should have been wiped out from the world map by the
Arabs but the fact is different.
As per the rules of Aerodynamics, the Bumble Bee can not fly. But it flies because it does not
know the rules of Aerodynamics.
If the experts were to be believed, we should have been no where in the '83 Cricket World Cup.
If the experts were to be believed, Wilma Rudolf, the first American lady to win 4 Olympic Golds
in Athletics, should not have been in a position to walk without braces, no question of running.
If the experts were to be believed Arunima Sinha can hardly lead a normal life. But she climbed
the Mount Everest.
The corona crisis is no different. I do not have any doubt that, we will defeat the Corona hands
down and the Indian Economy will bounce back in a great manner.

4. A Nationalistic Decision.
A few days back, came the depressing news that China's central bank had bought 1% stake in the
HDFC Bank. Today, came the Indian government's bold decision, amid fears of take over of Indian
firms during the Corona uncertainty by other countries, especially China.
By this law, such take overs can only be approved by the union government. As we say in the
Navy, Bravo Zulu to the Prime Minister and his team!
Tailpiece.
Got up at our usual time, the chores and was ready about a half an hour late. The blazing heat continued with no sign of that predicted thunder showers! Spoke to Varadamma appachi - my dad's youngest sister, she's 83 - and wasn't she thrilled? Felt humbled! She was chirpy as ever!!
