क्षणिका / Ditty – Kaushal Kishore

 

रोज बुलाता हूं मैं शब्दों को शाम की चाय पर, 

थक जाते हैं लेकिन शब्द मेरे दिन के ढलने पर…

एक क्षणिका ही लिख पाता हूं, न कि पूरी गजल,

इसलिए दोपहर के भोज पर बुलाऊंगा उन्हें कल…

😩 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩

Each day, I invite words for evening tea,  

But by dusk, they grow weak and weary…

I can’t write a full ghazal, only a short ditty,

So tomorrow, I’ll call them for lunch and see…

.

–Kaushal Kishore

♫ We Are The World ♫ (Redux) | Filosofa’s Word

Just goes to show what we can accomplish when people of all sorts come together for a common cause.  I think … though the cause is different … this song has just as much meaning for our world today as it did when it was released in 1985, some 34 years ago, don’t you?

Mpox declared a public health emergency – The Lancet

Unlike the 2022 mpox outbreak, which predominantly affected men who have sex with men, the 2024 outbreak is impacting a broader demographic. The virus, primarily spreading through direct contact, has been reported among men, women, and children. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where mpox cases have been reported in all 26 provinces, children younger than 15 years account for 66% of reported cases and more than 82% of deaths.
“Mpox is endemic in our region, and with endemic diseases, exposure is inevitable. Children are particularly vulnerable due to contact, malnutrition, and compromised immunity. The lack of smallpox vaccination, which could have provided some protection, also contributes”, Merawi Aragaw Tegegne, Acting Head of the Division of Emergency Preparedness & Response at Africa CDC, told The Lancet.
