Gen -Corona humour

Take a moment to smile!

Of course, I am not saying anything new when I say we are passing through strangely difficult times. The good people among us are helping the others by getting Oxygen, medicines, hospital admissions or food for those in quarantine. Some are risking their lives to provide succour to those who need help in these tough times.

What am I doing? Scared to go out and fall sick or spread sickness, I sit at home, trying to cheer everyone up. So, I have brought for you (using beg, borrow, steal formula) examples of what the creative minds are doing.

Most of them are self-explanatory so I resisted the temptation to add any comment.


Students struggling with online classes and home schooling are wondering how long this level of weird life going to be. 






But there is no stopping husband-wife jokes even in this time.





This year too there are no travel plans. 



On Covid protocol















Meanwhile, the ICMR has announced refusal of ownership of the list of 21 hilarious guidelines which I wrote about in the https://anupamaexcursions.blogspot.com/2021/04/gen-icmr-guidelines.html post.

    Interesting selection of the cartoons related to Covid that we've been seeing for the past year or so. Enjoyed them again.
    The new theme of cartoons is Vaccine these days. Every day I come across something that makes me smile, notwithstanding the grim reality all around us.

Patriots for a day

Patriots for a day 'Sir, he has to hoist the tricolour on his house and he has the tricolour. He is asking for a house.'  Note: The Prime Minister had called out all Indians to hoist the national flag on their homes on Independence Day. I am a compulsive worrier, and very unselfish about it too. I do not need any personal problem/issue to worry about specifically. You tell me what is troubling you,  I shall have my stomach in knots for days.  I shall worry about it, obsess over it, and tell you all the aspects, pros and cons, possible solutions/remedies that my mental faculties can work out.  So, when a school mate said he was going shuddh bharatiya (pure Indian) this August 15, our Independence Day, I naturally went into my hyper grey cell activity time. I imagined him giving up everything that does not have Indian roots, and moving back in time. My first worry was about the time frame he had in mind. Was he talking of the pre-Aryan times? The Aryans, said to be Indo-Euro

Back with a firmer resolve

Back with a firmer resolve I am back in my chair looking out of the window, gathering directionless thoughts, and trying to put them in some order to share with you. Of course, as my readers, you have the right to ask the reason for my long absence. I was travelling and when back, had viral fever. We know how these seasonal ailments can drain one physically and mentally. Honestly, I recovered after a couple of weeks, but  I did not write. Within a few days I realized that I was missing addressing you. And that it was sheer laziness which was preventing me from writing. Not only writing, my needlework, which inspires me equally and brings me joy, also suffered. Laziness is a sin, procrastination is a bad habit blah, blah, blah, I know, and thousands of words to enumerate tips for fighting this can be found between the pages of magazines and books or in the ether world. Yet all of us sometimes fall prey to this. So, please excuse this little lapse and let me pick up the threads aga

A historic connection

A historic connection Uzbekistan Diary -1 Left: India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's bust Right: Street named after him (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) Two weeks ago, I had announced that I would be travelling and travel I did to a new foreign land, which Mani, a history buff, had for long wanted to visit, but which is still not explored/exploited much by visitors-especially west Europeans and Americans, i.e., Uzbekistan. We travelled with four others - a friend couple, their son, and a colleague. Two members of our group were nursing knee and foot injuries, so it is not a surprise that we did not visit as many places as we would have otherwise. I am, however, grateful that they were brave and supportive enough to not have the trip aborted. Our visit was only a week long and in the coming weeks I shall take you along on my journey of the four cities, including the places, people, food, shopping anything that sparked interest and stayed in my memory (no intellectual anal
