new Delhi. Coronavirus has caused a lot of grief and pain to the country and the world. Everything has stopped for fear of Corona. People have been in homes since a month. Trains are closed at stations, airplanes at airports, buses at their end. Shops are closed without buyers. In the midst of all this, there is a bright side of the corona, which shows the light of hope, lessons and the fragrance of change. He is an observer of nature. In which the face of the lockdown is clearly visible. The air is clearer than ever, the dirt is seen disappearing from the banks of rivers. There is not unnecessary crowd on the roads. The cities are looking green. Now look at Delhi, it seems as if the heart is the same, the heartbeat has just increased. Look at Banaras, it seems the juice is the same, just the attitude is new.
