I am always surprised to see nature

We live in a semi-urban area of the town. There are high-rise buildings and shopping malls. There are outlets of commercial pizza brands. Yet, there are trees, bushes, water bodies, and even big ponds.

During the middle of the so-called COVID pandemic, maybe in the humid days of September 2020, I went to the top of our apartment building. The view from the terrace seems beautiful.

The atmosphere was hot because the time was nearing 1 PM. The scorching sun was lighting every nook and corner with ample illumination. It made no partiality or preferences. Every entity was getting the same energy distribution from the sun.

The sun was poring light on the rich, the middle class, as well as the poor, and also who lived on the streets or on railway station platforms!

I don't want to hide it. There are a lot of people who live in the open air or in public places in our country and elsewhere in the modern world.

Nature treats every living being and non-living entity equally.

Rich people can have a better view of the horse race. They can also acquire beautiful farmlands and build resorts to make money. But, they can't afford to experience the purity of nature as a villager.

By the way, there are also poor people living under temporary tents on the footpaths of some areas of Los Angeles, California. I saw videos in documentaries, and also from a friend who lives in Los Angeles. It is a verified fact that the past and the current government couldn't give them any better life.

Nature is invincible

During March 2020 and December 2020, I was pretty much perturbed by the fearmongering news that had spread everywhere. The U.S. presidential election news was also in full swing. Political parties utilized the pandemic as an excuse to go for a postal ballot election without verification of the signatures of the voters!

Nature didn't have any excuse for whatsoever was happening. The seasons changed as usual. In reality, the pandemic-induced forceful lockdowns made nature bloom in its full form.

In the eastern parts of India, we experienced the storm Amphan in May 2020. Everything was devastated. There was no electrical power for days. The Internet connection was restored after almost a week.

Nature remains unperturbed

"Is nature the same as before, during the COVID-19 pandemic? Would it remain the same post-pandemic? We can watch nature more closely and minutely now." - I was thinking and saying to myself while looking at the surroundings from the terrace.

• I was viewing a water body on the back side of our home. The view was so beautiful from the terrace of our apartment building. It looked bright and green under the midday sun.

• The place was a mixture of village and town. I could listen to birds chirping. The big grasses were undulating in the gentle breeze. I could also hear the sounds of vehicles from the adjacent road.

• The water body was calm. I could see fine and trembling waves. I could have seen fish swimming inside the greenish water of the shallow pond if I had gone near it or used a high-power zoom lens.

Nature was not perturbed by the pandemic and the fearmongering of the mainstream news media. But we were. The whole world was triggered negatively by all the false narratives of the news media supported by the governments.

Nature is more powerful than humans

• I recorded a short video clip with a hotshot camera. The video quality was somehow okay. The audio has proof of severe sounds of blowing wind.

• I uploaded the video on YouTube in September 2020 and later on Odysee in February 2021. I have many small clips recorded in and around the places we live and visit. I have decided to upload and occasionally share via my blogs.

Treat it as a documentary clip recorded by a novice videographer. My British friend commented, "The view of nature is so good. You are fortunate to have such a nice water body near your home!"
