Good Summer at Patna during Corona Time

I don't have any memory of such a wonderful summer at Patna in last three decades. Through out the season the weather was so pleasant and tolerable that during this period only 3-4 days in third week of May there was some discomfort due to heat. Otherwise the weather was pleasant. There were several days when in fact one do not require even fan forget about cooler or air conditioner. It is easy to notice its  linkage  with complete lock down due to Corona which gives the much needed breathing space to our environment.

 

Less pollution, less movement, less toxicity in air  and also less outing, it all added to this once in a life time feeling of natural tolerable summer. It certainly remind me of our childhood days in 70s without cooler/A.C and also absence of consistent electricity to run fans.

Summer were manageable without too much fuss till late 80s or early 90s but suddenly after the opening of Indian economy in 92 and rush to cities situation got out of control due to haphazard development in each sphere of life and to some extent transformation into new way of gadget based existence. I got my first videocon AC in 1994.

I strongly believe that nature has its own way to convey its displeasure and this time the medium is Corona, though unfortunate but it is teaching  us very important lessons of life. Don't take nature to the edge from where its return is impossible.

I hope after post corona we will remember many of the useful lessons learned during this period and also to  make it part of  our life.

To thwart any such threat to human kind in future the lessons learned during this period should be part of new normal.

Like human being nature also requires breathing space without toxic air.
