Current mood is that old lady in the film Lagaan who keeps on looking up desperately at the sky for One (1) drop of rain.

An elderly Indian woman in a white saree stares up anxiously at the sky, looking for rain. The ground is parched.

Now I understand why I found him rather relatable (before the whole island of strangers thing).

I say, because on his face was a genuine expression of bemusement when I asked about his emotional inner life, that I’m guessing he never did therapy. “No, no,” he says. “No.” Then “No” again in a lower tone bordering on horror. He’s not saying this is the only way to live, it’s just that “I am self-aware enough not to go into side alleys to have a chat with myself about these things.”

Three factor authentication at the church

A huge wooden chest with a label that says “This chest was purchased in 1652 and has three keys. Three members of the congregation held a key and the chest could only be opened if all three were present and in agreement. The key holders were elected annually. The chest was used to hold parish documents”

As carona virus life at one place is 12 hrs and curfew is for 14 hrs so the places or points of public areas where carona may live will not be touched for 14 hrs will break the chain. What we get after 14 hrs will be a safe country.

So it’s the Idea behind. Next this will be a drill if needed longer in near future...

This is very good:

Indeed, dialogue is an ordinary part of human life and does not only concern relations between States. It involves acquiring an attitude that seeks to forge bonds of fraternity built on listening, an open demeanor, making time for each other and even wasting time together. For if we experience authentic encounters with others, with those who are different, strangers and migrants, it becomes much more difficult even to imagine war.

Content warning for graphic sexual violence Read this. THE *VICTIM* WAS A RECENT IMMIGRANT I’m going to throw up actually

“She said she suffered flashbacks, had been left with anxiety and was scared by every noise. When alone in the house she locked herself in her room, and
had not told her family, fearing they would feel guilty for letting her come to the UK two years ago from India.”
