To cage one's own heart willingly...

I hear a kind of sorrow in that idea, someone so attuned to others that they disappear from their own care. Here’s a poem around that feeling: There lives a soul who reads the ache In trembling smiles that others fake, Who hears the grief in laughter’s sound, And kneels where silent wounds are found. A keeper of unspoken fears, A witness soft to hidden tears, They gather storms from weary skies And hold them gently, asking, “Why?” How strange, how pitiful the art, To know each fracture of a heart, Yet turn no lantern to one’s own, And make of sorrow flesh and bone. For they will calm another’s sea, Whilst drowning where none care to see; Will stitch the wounds on stranger’s skin, Yet leave their own to ache within. They understand too much, perhaps, The grief between affection’s gaps, The trembling guilt, the sharpened shame, The quiet hurt with no true name. And so they bend, and so they stay, To light the dark in others’ way; Till kindness, noble though it seems, Consumes the keeper ...

Second wave of Covid-19 in Telangana safety measures to be taken...


Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said his government will take all measures to withstand the second wave of Covid-19 in the state. He directed the officials to take all the preventive measures needed in view of the increase in the number of coronavirus cases in some other states. He said that all the required actions and measures would be taken to withstand even the emergence of a second wave in the state.

He suggested to people to be cautious and observe self-protection guidelines, saying maintaining personal safety is the best medicine for the pandemic.

KCR, as Rao is popularly known, reviewed the Covid situation at a meeting at his official residence 'Pragathi Bhavan'.

"Situation is coming back to normalcy in the state. Covid cases are on the decrease in Telangana state. Despite a high increase in the number of tests conducted, the positive cases are less than 10 per cent. The recovery rate is 94.5 per cent. Though people with Covid are suffering a bit but the mortality rate is very low. But yet the government is on high alert and taking all the necessary precautions. All over the state, 10,000 beds with Oxygen facility are kept ready. We can increase their number. As on date, the situation is very much under control," the CM said.

He noted that there is a sudden surge of Covid cases in Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh while cases are slightly on the rise in Kerala and Karnataka.

"It is estimated that with this, there is a chance of Covid second wave emerging. The state should be in a position to withstand even the second wave and for this, officials should be alert and ready. Required preparations should be made for this," the CM said.

KCR said the state government will make all the efforts and put in place measures to stop the spread of coronavirus but this required support from the people. "Though there is an unlock process going on now, people should be cautious and wear masks and follow all the guidelines," he suggested.

He also stated that once a vaccine is available for Covid, it would be first given to the healthcare workers.
