post COVID  world

Post COVID world: an imagination

In today’s scenario when the whole world is passing through a state of horror,tension,uncertainty and a fear of the unexpected.. CORONA, COVID19, novel corona virus have become household words since last few days. Definitely, it’s the most devastating pandemic humans have ever seen, it has brought the whole world on the back foot, the entire world locked down, people shut in their houses, fear all over everywhere. But somewhere in our hearts we have a hope that we will overcome this too as we have come out of all previous catastrophes. But as per the law of nature every upheaval has got an aftermath so the post COVID 19 will also have. Can you imagine how the post COVID world would be like? Believe me its going be a very different world altogether.

My blog is to bring smiles on your faces in these tough times.

How the world is going to look like with people in masks, gloves and face shields, may be body suits, maintaining social distance and not able to do all those things which they were freely doing before COVID.

I am sharing my imagination here

People, specially Indian people are going to miss their pleasure of sneezing, picking their nose or even coughing because now onward  all these gestures will turn heads.

Sneezing before covid was considered a pleasurable activity which everyone used to enjoy I distinctly remember seeing my grandfather and people of that age using “NASWAR”( it is a moist, powdered tobacco usually sniffed) to make them sneeze.

When we look into the process of sneezing it appears to be no less than a rocket science. Sneezing in itself is a whole process right from getting into the mood which involves making of funny faces to taking a stance, than a little bending behind with head tilted back and then the final act of explosion , definitely it is like launching a rocket into space and the best of all is the contentment on the face of who sneezes, he looks content, relieved and as if he has achieved something in his life. Similarly picking one’s nose was also a pastime and for some people it was a gesture associated with intense thinking, the deeper the thinking- faster the finger use to dig into deep corners of their noses, and during this intense intellectual process their face becomes so flexible that at times their mouth seems to reach almost to their ears.

Another gesture is coughing which has been a very strong and interesting verbal communication sign since times immemorial. which was further made famous by Maduhri dixit and Salman khan in the film HUM APKE HAIN KAUN ,that famous “AHO -AHU” which became a symbol for communicating amongst love birds will now be seen with a raised eyebrows ,disapproval and contempt.. even fear .

Sneezing, coughing in public will be a more heinous crime than farting. I guess farting is going to be treated a respectable gesture now.

Mask definitely is a protective gear against the virus but it s going to change the scenario altogether ,after Covid it may be beneficial for many whereas disheartening for some, lets look at this:-

Firstly for the people who have borrowed money can now roam in the city without the fear of being caught by their lenders.

Love birds who use to cover their faces earlier for the fear of getting caught but were always spotted because they use to look very odd in the crowd and it use to become very obvious now they can do it officially.

Robbers and chain snatchers are going to have gala time as they will no more be scared of being suspects.

Eve teasing will be on next level now, as the girls will never be able to figure out who whistled at them or who passed a comment on them.

For girls Its going to save lots of money ,they now can get their upper lip done at their own convenience of budget and time etc as now they have a facility of easily hiding it under a designer or a flowery mask .

Some rituals are also going to be changed, in weddings the “MUH DIKHAI ceremony will now onwards will be a “MASK HATAO” ceremony and for that matter masks are going get designer now with diamonds or may be gold embroidery.

India is going to be cleaner now because all those people who used to spit here and there will end up spitting in their masks as getting use to the mask is going to take time and by the time they will forget this habit of spitting.

The toothpaste and tooth whitening companies are going to suffer a big loss as people will care a damn for white teeth and their bad breath.

Anti tan cream companies will see their sales figure shoot up as people will be using to get rid of their mask marks on their face.

Corporate will be very happy to have another reason for cost cutting . Now they can do away with their pantry and housekeeping staff because when they find that after lock down their staff is very well equipped with all these skills. we might see a rooster in offices for assigning these works on rotation basis to the employees. The support staff might see a fear of losing their jobs. similarly the house maids will also have a tough time, they might lose their jobs or will have to raise their performances levels as their performances will always be compared with their lock-down replacement their own “ sahabs”.

Lastly the HINDI language word “karona”, means asking ‘to do’ like “eis matter mey kuch karona”will be out of fashoin as people will be alarmed to hear karona and hear it as CORONA. instead people will start using “kariye”

Any ways as the saying goes “Change is the Essence of life” so lets prepare ourselves for this change. In the meantime stay at home and stay safe.
