INVISIBLE AND INVINCIBLE

Humanity has seen so many pandemics in the past; and so many true stories fading away in time. One such pandemic knocked the world silently veiled in the year 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic, was much more than a global health crisis. It pierced the depths of human sufferings. It faded the distinction between an ordinary and an extra-ordinary and brought everyone to the ground; to face sufferings in equal magnitude. I remained the in-charge of RT-PCR laboratory that was given the responsibility of haunting the invisible enemy till the time it faded to the invincible strength of life. That was a long period, and a writer in me, hiding behind a doctor, was drawn not to the statistics, but to the realities that shook my core ? these were the real-life stories of fear, of courage, of loss, and of hope.
