Staying Alive - HOPE is my best friend!!!

14th May, 2021 sitting in my study room I wonder if I ever had a thought of the nightmare that surrounds all of us, the type of mindset we are all into now. We don't know what future has in store for mankind and what kind of world are we heading towards.

Who would have imagined 2 years back that our lives will be confined to our homes like a 'Home Arrest', the country where we cannot survive without meeting our dear ones every other festival, will no longer have that privilege's. At this moment we all feel that surviving each day healthy is what we need to be thankful about.

I have not met my parents - since December and its May now! We were never so helpless in our lives. I wonder what our new generations will have in store for them, school no longer means playground, playing football or having sessions today, we are too much virtual now. Creativity is at it best to make things normal for us but is it really making an impact?

Birthday parties are no longer gathering friends, playing games together, so many questions rushing through the adrenalin - what about sports like cricket, Long tennis, swimming which were our outdoor activities, will the kids ever enjoy the freedom again!

There are dreaded stories in the lives of people, sufferings and pain which people cant bear, what can only make us live on and on is only one thing - HOPE, our best friend. We have almost become numb now with the deaths around us and the sadness that prevails.

Every human being has his/her own story of this journey and the Leobond wonders if the time will ever change for worse- we dont even know if the times to come in future will be more dreaded but I really HOPE that peace will prevail and Humanity will triumph over all sufferings. May the love in mankind always overcome this dreaded COVID age forever💗💓🙏
