Weekend Sky #25 – April 24th

The view ain’t so bright everywhere!

The sun is still rising and shining. The flowers are also blooming wonderfully. Birds are chirping and singing.

But in a country, home to more than a billion human beings, just like you and me, the very meaning of life is getting darker.

With each passing hour!

I’m talking about India, where the pandemic situation has taken such a steep dive that it has sent shock waves across the world.

On April 23rd, more than 340,000 positive cases were reported in India, which was highest count ever reported during this entire pandemic.

Since I live in Pakistan, the neighboring country of India, the news spread like wildfire here almost immediately on TV and social media. Videos and pictures from across the border stormed the media, which were shocking beyond disbelief.

I was all ready to publish this episode of Weekend Sky on Friday night but after what I saw on social media, my heart got saddened very much. So, you’re reading this episode a bit late this weekend.

Here’s a sky capture I took last year during the monsoon season:

These dark clouds appeared one evening and covered almost the entire sky but strangely, no shower or even drizzling took place as they disperse peacefully few hours later.

Deep down inside, I’m also hoping and dreaming about this pandemic situation, all over the world, to disperse just like this!
