COVID 19 – Nature’s Broom
At the moment the whole world is worried because of the effects of Corona Virus. What will happen...
Fear
Whatever is going on in the world at the moment is, nature’s cleaning campaign. Mother Nature has incarnated herself in the form of a virus and finish all those demons who have violated her regulatory system. It has come up aggressively this time to teach a lesson to the violators. It has come up with its broom to clean the garbage from the world so that everyone created by her can breathe properly. She gives us a lot when we are born. She makes us healthy, physically and mentally both, to earn our living and earn the items of our need. But we become greedy and that greed puts us in trouble.
This cleaning campaign will continue for some more time. But I know that the people of this world are never going to learn a lesson from this episode. Mother Nature will have to return with a stronger weapon.

‘No, do not touch the temple and any of the houses. Watch it from the distance and enjoy’.
The temple dedicated to Rishi Jamdagini or Jamlu Devta, the father of Parshuram is the most prominent structure in the village. The legend says that the rishi had come to this place for meditation and had brought eighteen idols of the gods from all over the world.
The Playground of Anni
The boy had a few fire crackers with them which, very quietly, tide with the tail of the bull and ran away. The wick sparked for sometime and then the crackers burst. The bull, busy in feasting on the green grass got frightened on this sudden attack. He failed to understand the fact and ran. He rushed towards the joggers who ran out of the gate.
