Juggernaut

““The word juggernaut comes from the Hindi ‘Jagannath’ meaning ‘lord of the world’. The word is further derived from the Sanskrit ‘jagati’ meaning ‘he goes’ and ‘natha’ meaning ‘master’. The word juggernaut first appeared in Western writing around 1321 but didn’t become a common English word until the early 19th century.

Our SC is very well read and smart. Covid19 has no chance in the Rath Yatra, its ‘R0’ there will be zero.

sillycon retaliation

“The crowd went ballistic with nationalistic fervour demanding destruction of Chinese items. This motivated a teen to throw his flat TV from his floor house to the ground. The enthusiastic crowd stomped on it, smashing it to smithereens, shouting slogans. Then some of them hurried after to participate in the online launch of a new Chinese phone.

The father of teen watched in horror and sadness. He waited to watch who would donate the next item. sillycon retaliation.

Covid analysis

“Karnataka has far less Covid19 infections compared to other parts of India. Know why? Well we greeted this fellow with our customary greeting “Hegiddira, aarama Saar?” (“How are you, peaceful?”), the virus slowed down and got into our rhythm.

Know why Covid19 infections in Kerala is super low with low mortality. Well it is God’s own country, after all.
What happened in Tamil Nadu that it is competing to be in the top? Well a hot headed fellow in Chennai swore choicest expletives at it, guess the fellow now is wreaking vengeance.

So what about Mumbai? Well it is ‘The maximum city’ after all, sadly here too.
Why is it high in New Delhi? In a city of show offs, each one wanted this too, probably.
