Art of eating mangoes, Lockdown and Corona – May,2020

Hot summer days are here and I had just started to relish a delicious Banganpalli mango. For the uninitiated one’s, this is our very own desi mango variety in Andhra Pradesh. First bite of pulp, suddenly made me remember our great nationalist hero Sh. Akshay Kumar and his interview with our Hon PM Sh. Narendra Modiji and I became very emotional.

So fortunate are we lesser beings to be blessed with divine leadership of Sh. Modi ji. Sill some people simply do not realise this blessing and keep harping on anti-national topics.

We as a nation are making headlines in international media and whatsapp university. Cycling abilities of our fellow Indians are being recognised all over the world and especially by Ms Ivanka Trump.

Boston Consulting Group(BCG), brought out elaborate data on the success of our pandemic fight in terms of number of life’s saved and now they have been engaged to further augment this fight. I convey my heartfelt thanks in advance to the expert epidemiologists on BCG’s panel (if there are any), who will be rendering their support to our Health Ministry. My heart swells with pride with these achievements. Perhaps this is also a step towards Atmanirbharta and local, shocal vocal.

I indeed pity those inept channels and journalists, who are constantly showing images of our migrant brethren walking on road. Why on earth they have to keep harping on this? Do they not realise that had it not been for proactive masterstroke by our government from 23rd March, 2020 onwards when we all whole heartedly participated in the yagna of “Thali Bajaoo” and “Diya Jalao”, our country would have been in dire straits by now? 

Our migrant brethren were advised to stay at home. But, some misguided antinational elements and opposition parties, nudged these millions on their home-bound journey on foot. Entire world saw these walking millions and left a lasting impression. The antinational elements, who did that, should be banned forever. How dare they tarnish the image of our great nation and a Vishwaguru?

You must have received the message on your family and friends Whatsapp groups that, even NASA is taking inspiration from our Thali Bajao yagnas and had a day long marathon meeting after our diya jalao strategy to decode the idea behind it.

So much awesome stuff is happening out there and people just do not understand. Entire media, facebook and whatsapp brethrens, need to conduct debates, road shows, display banners etc to educate our migrant brethren’s that their pain is actually their sacrifice and tapasaya, which is a great contribution towards eradication of Covid 19. They are warriors and those who unfortunately laid down their lives, are martyrs in this war. With this messaging, they will then happily bear this pain with steely resolve for the great strategy epitomised by our leaders. This will also make them remember to once again value their vote when time comes.

But we digress from the main topic. The key point which had me thinking was how to eat mangoes? By slicing or as whole. Any thoughts?? Perhaps, a rewind of Modiji’s interview by Sh. Akshya Kumar will help.

Cheers!
