Wish ... Hope it comes true


 Wish… hope it comes true...


Sometimes dreams are awful and scary. Today, I am feeling one such nightmare come true. I have never felt the impact of an asteroid, but I am sensing the impact of an invisible ghost(corona) that has been impacting many people (you and me) like a humungous hurricane that has been hitting us repeatedly. Social life has been harder. With a slump in economy, lives have been at risk. I wonder if this invasion will wipe human race out as this beast is attacking the innocent, dragging them into a black hole.  Many non-essential Industries have been closed. In many countries, major cities have gone to hibernation with no human activity. I wish the lifeless cities gain its previous glow. Hope my wish comes true.

I am blessed with certain times of spending time, chatting, giving high fives, whispering the secrets in the ears of one another with my friends. I remember those educational days when my teacher sat next to me and encouraged me in studies. I recall those days my classmates who joke around and make me laugh to, those days when my friends sat next to me during the difficult times and cheered me        up. I think back to those sunny days where we met at parks, beaches that made us to get more close (budding friendships). Because of this crisis now I am missing those beautiful days that I had, as social distancing parted us away. I wish those days are retained filled with joy. Hope my wish comes true.


As a granddaughter I’m worried about the golden generations who are at the risk of getting infected. Every minute I worry about my grandparents who are vulnerable to this pandemic. I saw many families who expressed their love through screens, limiting the ability to be physically present. I recollect those days when my grandparents used to hug me tight and tell the most valuable stories. I wish those days will come to light. Hope my wish comes true.

 Life between these concrete walls is harder than I’ve imagined as I haven’t stepped out of the house for a week. Luckily for me my parents sacrificed their jobs to engage me and my brother by giving us a lot of activities, but still my heart tells me to chase the winds and run until I fall. As a responsible citizen I must abide to the decisions of the government and stay indoors. I wish I go out with my family and spend quality time with them in the busy streets and malls. Hope my wish comes true soon.

Readers, please be safe and stay indoors. Follow all the precautions and abide to the government. Help the poor and serve the country from this turmoil. We must join our hands to fight against the invisible predator and save as much lives as possible. I know the time is not good enough for all of us, but we have to overcome the consequences. Help the frontline people and stay indoors.

Thank you for reading,
Yours Khyati.
