Old Story:
One man invented the Chess game and presented it to his king. The king was amused. He asked the man; “what prize you want?”
The man told; “Please put one grain in first box. Then double the number in the next. Like that fill all the 64 boxes in the chess board’’
The king could not give that much..... That is the story.
Corona spreads like that. First day one man gets it. Second day he gives it to two people.
Third daym the two give it to four….. What will happen?
You have time now. Just calculate. To help you I am giving the table below. (Click on the link)
Today the total population on this earth is 770 crore. Within 34 days, one man can spread it to 859 crores people. More than the global population.
So, Friends, social distancing is very essential. Please keep it. This small virus may not kill all; but it will weaken the whole world.
HOPE, DEVIATION JUSTIFIED?..............................PSR

It's that time of the year again when people can catch a glimpse of India's diverse cultures. The Eastern, Northern & Southern parts of the country celebrate their first harvest festival of the year - Baisakhi, Bihu, Vishu, Poila Boishak & Puthandu - with vigour and fervour. Every year, the festivals fall on April 13 or April 14, based on the local Calendar.
This year, due to the coronavirus situation, we cannot go out and celebrate.Let us remain safe at home; do not invite any guests, wait for the happy days. As senior citizens we must cooperate with the directions from the Government to contain the deadly virus. These hard and dark days will also go, light will appear, and we will emerge once again as triumphant Nation. Let us wait patiently.
