Health at center stage
Corona pandemic has created havoc across world, but one thing which came out good was importance of health in national discourse. People forgot everything be it economics or politics, it was in the end bogged down to health. Family as a unit strived to eat most nutritious food, exercise a little, little meditation and social distancing.
But problem of not keeping ourselves has originated with the lifestyle of 21 century. What people and hence nation cares about is dollars. They want effluence for their people, but this blind run for money has changed many good practices and most importantly shifted the equilibrium which existed earlier between leisure and work. We all can see consequences by following examples:
How many of us spend time with our parents more than our mobile phones.
How many of us spend time with nature
How many of us spend time with ourselves
How many of us meditate or do yoga/exercise.
How many of us had no junk food in weeks
List is endless but most important elements for good health is our environment and food habits.
Environment does play a very important role in our health. Be it natural air and fresh water or healing rays of sun. Sound of birds and animals roaming around also calm our nerves and instill serenity in us. But race of development has polluted the most valuable assets nature has bestowed on all of us. Current catastrophic events all across world is a reminder that we are living on ice sheets, so our actions must justify that.
Second important part for health is food. We fall ill not because pathogen is strong but when we are weak. Balanced diet is most important defence against diseases. Have diets of all colors everyday. Ensure that we consume adequate amount of minerals everyday, especially essential minerals which are not produced by the body.
Individual health is one component but pandemic has taught us that health is an global issue. Everyone has to be protected for us to be safe. In this regard we can as voters take part in politics to guide policies of our respective countries to be more benevolent towards health of its citizens. I think our drawbacks has been highlighted by the pandemic we must ensure that we don't repeat the mistake we did this time.

My brother's Wedding
My elder brother got lucky, because he is getting married to one of the most humble person in the world. But before I describe the wedding which in itself lasted for days, let me introduce my brother. He is a smart guy with a job. He has a carefree attitude and take one step at a time. He has struggled a lot in his life, but he never gets it known. He studied day and night for job in railway but in the end couldn't get selected. He also tried his luck in army but failed. Finally settled in a big company with countrywide presence.
He saw the girl (my sister in law) when he was on leave. Then he approached her and asked for her number. Fortunately for him she also knew him. So path ahead was not that thorny and soon both side agreed to get married. Parents of both side met and gave their approvals. Now date was set by consulting priest. Finally it was happening. I saw smile on the face of my brother. It looked like something good was happening to him after long time.
Preparations started for marriage in both sides. My family first started collecting money. Marriage takes lots of money. So father started looking at all the resources at his disposal from where he can arrange money. Bank account, stocks, crop, pension and even asking little bit of money from relatives. His tried his best to make this marriage a showpiece and one of the most memorable moments in life of our family.
Various rituals started taking place within house. I am not familiar with anyone so describing them would be difficult for me. Most important event from groom side was when we arrange dinner for our future relatives. They come and visit our place have dinner and leave next day. It was a very hectic day. Everything had to be arranged and guest were to be served. We as family tried our best to look after our guest. In the end they looked quite satisfied.
Now the turn was of our future relatives to feed us and to conclude the marriage with all the rituals. We dressed smartly to attend dinner from our future in laws and Finally conclude marriage. This must be mentioned that dinner was absolutely amazing (or probably I was hungry). We stormed the place where all the ritual were to be performed. While all the events were going on I was looking for my future wife in the crowd. There were so many beautiful girls, I just couldn't figure out whom to approach. But my failure is ok as my brother's marriage got concluded with all the rituals. It was a very long night but also a very memorable one.
