I have
been living in London for many years. Commute to work daily and travel around
London often using public transport, which is among the best in the world.
One
of the beauties of London is its busyness, its vibrancy and its cosmopolitan
nature. The past few days have been very different. More spaces and visible
social distancing in our public transports. Coffee shops, eateries, etc with
lots of empty chairs. Shelves in most of supermarkets empty. Unusually
different experience. Undoubtedly our lives have changed.
I
understand there are more challenging days ahead as we fight the spread of
Coronavirus, but we will rise up to the challenges and come out victorious.
After all, the collective human family has been imaginative and creative and
hence will come up with solutions soon. This is a reminder that we are
interdependent. We are all in this together. What affects one, affects the
other. Yes, we are in this as one human family, wherever we may be.
In the
meantime, it is vital that we
📣 Remember the most vulnerable people in our
collective human family.
📣 Remember the elderly, the homeless, refugees
and all those with existing health issues.
📣 Remember to keep doing the Right Thing.
Hope
is what I have. Hopeful that we defeat this monster Coronavirus and come back
to normalcy soon.
Till
then keen doing the right thing, remain positive, safe, upbeat and
kind. One world, one human family!
