The feeling that we know
everything, has a catch that we don’t know what is the meaning of everything?
A little shake up in the pyramid of food chain, rattled the world order of the powerful. The tiniest of all,
a biomolecule, a connecting link between the living and non-living is now decoding
depth of relation between dead and living. Name it, after whatever suitable we
feel, a city, a river, a place, a season or just the way it looks, doesn’t
matter because origin may be distant to us but now it lives among us or in us.
Still we as human ask
What is a virus?
Ask a naturalist- One of
the random creations of nature, essential to maintain balance between living
and non-living.
An Environmentalist- A
connecting link between dead and living.
An Evolutionist -An early
engineer of nature, which helped in central dogma of life.
A physicist- A system of
differentially charged molecules where surface charge and mass of molecule decide
fate of the system.
A molecular biologist- A protein
shell around a nucleic acid core, which may be DNA or RNA.
A chemist- A natural assembly
of biomolecules, creating a stable functional structure.
A virologist- A deadly disease
which can be fatal if your immune system is weak.
A common human-?
A disease which locks me
alive in a coffin before I die,
A guilt - keeps my loved
ones away till I sleep in white bed,
A social stigma- leads
people to change their path where I walk,
An emotion- better unseen and untouched when I die wrapped in plastic which can make other sick.
