Hi guys

In this covid world, all of us are sailing in the same boat,facing the same apprehensions,same issues,same anxieties and with the same goal....upsc!!

I want to share my experience with you all.i am a frontline covid warrior in this  duty from past five months..we are literally working day and night.

I am incharge of an area and our team is entirely responsible for testing in the area,sealing the containment area,ensuring essentials supply in the area,sanitisation,waste collection monitoring in the area,sensiting the public there regarding social distancing,ensuring that people don't jump barricades, shifting positive patients to hospitals, monitoring home isolation patients, answering indefinite public calls and a hell lot of other covid works along with our regular official duties..

...it has been really a lot of tasks.... add on to this,.there are meetings at ward level,booth level, assembly constituency level, parliamentary constituency level,along with meetings of DM,district in charge minister, chief secretary,chief minister,health minister,covid minister,our own departmental meetings,with hundreds of video/WebEx/Google meet/zoom meetings...!!

Since we are in the frontline during such covid times,we are not able to get any time to study....

I feel sorry about our state ,but also proud that we are of some help to the people in dire needs...

But,at the end of the day,feel like I am unable to study much for prelims, conducting exam during such times would be really injustice to ppl working for corona relief during such times.

Friends,many of my colleagues are positive,there have been deaths in our offices ,and being in the midst of such scenes,I can rest assure you,it's not as easy as it looks...doctors wearing ppe kits are contracting it.especially post lockdown,normal healthy people are suddenly contracting it out of nowhere and going for ventilators ....believe me,we used to get 2cases in entire city per day in May...now it's 10 cases per ward daily... We have limited staff strength....due to no leaves or Saturday or Sunday and continuously working since five months, all of us are reaching our saturation levels...

So,a more prudent way for upsc would be giving an extra attempt for this year exam applied people and also postponing prelims till things come under Ctrl....I,being in one of the most developed states of India(we had effectively controlled during lockdown and till June)and in one of the most advanced and literate city can assure you that even beds are not available for asymptomatic patients....leave alone icu, ventilators....Pvt hospitals are charging like crazy(1lakh per day sometimes), in such scenario things are going out of hand at many places.

So guys, please please take care of yourself and your family....nobody has understood this virus...some say it's airborne...some say no...some cases ppl r hvng lung issues...some are having sudden heartattacks.,some evn showing liver problems,dysentry....vaccine not in next month atleast....

So life is very short ....make it memorable....study vn u ought to .spend tym with family....live life to the fullest.. nobody  knows  what will happen tomorrow...

Goodluck
