Untold stories

A lot has been happening around. Coronavirus, Budget, Delhi violence, Shaheen bagh, Trump visit, and much more. It looks like the entire landscape is in a state of flux. The budget did not bring any reforms 2.0. It was again a piecemeal change in governance. Trump's visit was more of an unofficial start of his election campaign. It was about showcasing the friendship of Modi and Trump. Shaheen bagh was about Dadi's. Unfortunately, a model protest lost its steam due to Delhi violence. Coronavirus was about the threat of the health pandemic and China's preparedness to deal with it. It was amazing to see how china built a 1000 bed hospital in just 10 days' time.

It was also a month of celebrations. February is a month of marriages and birthdays. It makes me wonder why is that a trend? For someone to be born in February means the intercourse would have happened in the May-June timeframe. However, those are the months of peak summer. It is awkward that people will sleep on top of each other, hand in arms, drenched, smeared and soaked in each other sweat and sowing the seeds of future civilization. That too when it is not even their anniversary or any other occasion when love is in the air. Air is so hot in those months that even love also prefers to remain inside the sachet.  

Anyway, life in February is more fun as weather is not too cold and not too hot. Occasional western disturbances temper the rising sun. Exercising, sports become a lot more fun. The rest is life as usual.
