The Indian goddess Durga mata had ten arms, each with a divine ammunition to transfix her cosmic enemies. Millions of incarnations of almighty mother Durga opened their third eye on earth when the coronavirus latched onto humans. In lockdown, their power emanates. Perchance, the yagyas, poojas and peace offerings made by all religious members of the society came into play, for the answers to our prayers were hiding in plain site-women.


Ms.Kavita Mehra, a Gurugram based resident wakes up at 7 a.m., pulls the sheets from over her son, single-handedly makes the house squeaky clean, props up breakfast, summons a camera plus tripod stand in one hand, tucks her phone between the spaces of her arms, fixes her son on her Lap and sits through his lessons for he is only a toddler. When the rhythms of a,b,cs end, she takes out her energy yantra, takes a few sips and pardons her son to sit in a Skype video, from where her actual work shall commence. For her history repeats itself each day.Do women ever call it a day?What would you call working women with the household on their shoulders if not goddesses?Take a human term, heroins.


Howbeit, not all heroes wear capes. Some come in aprons and saree drapes. In fact, calling them heroins is an understatement. Pune virologist, Minal Dakhave Bhosale, who looks on point at all times, contrived the first coronavirus testing kit in India, which she envisaged through her all-seeing eye that sees all things invisible and malicious. And like her, Oprah Winfrey, one of the most acclaimed influencers and hosts in the US, commanded her Chakras to elevate global mental agony and called it a ’21days meditation challenge’.Their powers have been hiding in cahoots, escaping the human eye.


Mrs.Rashmi Malhotra, a homemaker in west Delhi, possesses laser eyes with which she supercharges homemade santizers that eradicate the atoms of dirt and viruses from the malhotra house along with the rebellious attitude of her teenagers without any hee-haws to be heard. Albeit, whilst they fight their secret battle against covid-19, they need their recharge. Mrs.Garima, a dehliite, accelerates her super powers by honing her talents and helping the society. Mrs. Mitu grover and Mrs. Divya mehta, relatives by abilities and otherwise receive cooking aid by their children and give out unearthly positivity to the world which they resonate to keep the people comfortable at home, whilst they the fight the ultimate battle.


Woman to woman, they have communicated the telepathic messages with cues to hurt the precarious predicament, the so called coronavirus. The others just have to ensure there are enough chocolates, helping hands, serials, music and good husbands and kids to help the women as they charge on their Pegasuses with their ultimate love shields, divine strength and intelligence. Rest assured, we are in good hands.
