The country in general and the national Capital in particular was badly ravaged by the second wave of onslaught by Covid-19 virus. As per the government figures, during this bout of the coronavirus surge, Delhi had over 14 lakh confirmed cases as of June 14, 2021, with over 24000 fatalities.
Now we are faced with the screaming headlines every morning of the likely arrival of the third wave, and accompanying claims by the government of how it was getting ready to face the possible menace. Here it would be worthwhile to recall what celebrated English poet TS Eliot once wrote in his vowed poem Hollow Men, “Between the idea, And the reality, Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow.”
