Friends,

Corona virus is in its deadly phase in India. It is also the time of the year when pneumonia, asthma and other viral infections are prevalant. In all these disease, lungs capacity to absorb oxygen from the air we breathe decreases. Air has only 20% oxygen. When cough dries up on lungs (or infection takes over) and oxygen absorbing capacity decreases very significantly, oxygen support becomes necessary. With steam inhailing and other cure, cough congestion is eased (or viral subsides) and the lungs functioning improves in few days. Thus few days of oxygen support is necessary for such patients. Oxygen support is one of the primary elements of medical system. India is one of the top producers of oxygen in the world. Every hospital and clinic should have oxygen support system. If they didn't have, India had the capacity to furnish them in a short span of time. But our government and hospital managements remained blind and irresponsible. I hope, with cries all around, the state awakens and lacunas are remedied at war footing. Villages are particularly in deep crisis for lack of transport to cities (as trains are not stopping at their railway stations), lack of money and lack of contacts to access hospitals. 

I am equally worried by the mental anxiety I see when some one falls sick with fever and cold. The possibility that it could be corona is say 30% in Delhi but corona fatality is only 1%. The anxiety that you may have fatal corona is misplaced. It is worse than the disease as it makes you restless and your body loses its inherent strength to fight disease. Fear of death is worse than death. I do not know how would I behave when I confront such a situation, but I do wish no one to fall in this trap of anxiety. It is an undesirable thought, a creation of mind. On confronting many undesirable thoughts I have noted that observing the mind how it creates/ sustains these thoughts subsides them. Living moment to moment is life, notwithstanding the fact that we have lost many friends and relatives in this period.

Palwal Farmers Protest

On April 28, I visited Farmers protest at Palwal (KMP highway). Two months earlier when I visited them there were thousands of farmers with tractors. This time tractorts were not there, 10-15 huts were there, each having 5-10 farmers. Because of harvesting and weddings most farmers were away but came to visit the site regularly. I had very heartening conversation with them. At 2 PM began their meeting inside va big pendal. Rajendra Singh, a local farmer leader spoke extremely well, revealing great depth of understanding of agriculture related laws and practices. I spoke for half hour and felt touched by their response and resolve to continue the struggle.        

Tomorrow, May 2, is a big day when election results will be out. I have hopes for positive outcomes from Assam and W. Bengal, besides Kerela and Tamilnadu.

Best regards
