Musings Of The Mind During Corona Times

The outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020 afforded an opportunity though in adversity amidst our lives going topsy-turvy and in forced solitude.I started writing regularly tracking the journey of COVID-19 its fall out and the transformation in our lives as a sequel and sharing on electronic media. Unconsciously my style of writing became prose in poetry generally concluding with befitting couplets of Urdu poetry. | was buoyed by the inspiring comments of my friends who genuinely prompted me to consoli- date my thoughts and take it to the next level.This is how exactly my book project took off. In my write-ups I quite often venture into the coveted realms of great thinkers philosophers saints and Yogis who have spent their lifetimes to understand the enigmatic human life a beautiful gift of God yet for average mortals like me remains a labyrinth a conundrum.Nevertheless I could peep into some aspects and the veil did lift a bit going through treasured writings of the extraordinary authors and exalted souls like Dr. S. Radhakrishnan Paramhansa Yogananda and Sri Aurobindo. Above all Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali a collection of highly inspirational poems devoted to the universal Lord did leave an indelible imprint in my mind.
