Yes, you have read it correctly! The famous English phrase “ Lull before the storm” has been deliberately reworded to the aforementioned!
What we have witnessed over the past few days is nothing less than a tsunami of tragedies and unsavoury developments! Starting with the dastardly act of killing innocent tourists in Pahalgam, followed by Operation Sindoor, stampede at Bengaluru, crash of Air India’s Dreamliner, Israel – Iran exchange of missiles that’s threatening to become a full fledged war to yesterday’s helicopter crash and caving in of a bridge over river Indrayani near Pune, our cup of woes is overflowing! And here, I am not even mentioning never ending Russia – Ukraine and Israel- Hamas sagas that seem to be never ending and worsening.
Lull before the storm is eerie, chilling and disconcerting. On the contrary lull after the storm is painful – witnessing all the signs of destruction left behind by the raging storm, but relieving and comforting at the agony having gotten over! Let’s pray and hope for this lull.
