Everyone has his or her own image of what God must look like. I too had my own image. 

But now the image has gone blurr and is being replaced by a more prominent one. The Blue and White God's. 

These are the Gods who are busy giving life, saving lives without thinking about their own. Every single day these God's risk their own lives for people whom they don't know . They have the power of saving people's life , rejuvenate them , make them strong and active. These are the Gods that many of us owe our lives to. I'm surely owe my life to these God's . 

But what do we do for these God's ? Do we pray to them daily ? Do we offer them prasad ? Do we construct temples for them ? Or name streets and chowks after them ? 

Covid has taught us who the real God's are . They don't come in gold and silver jewels but in blue and white PPE kits. They don't have swords and chakras on them but masks and gloves . They don't have golden shields protecting them but face shields. 

These are the real God's shining brightly on the dim landscapes across the country. 

But its not enough just to praise these God's and pray for them . This time around they need our help. They need us to wear masks and maintain social distancing. They need us to stay at home and work from home . They will be much happier to see us in the protected environment of our homes rather than on the hospital bed. 

The blue and white God's too have a family of their own. Can we imagine a nurse living her months old child to go to the hospital daily to care for Covid patients? Can we imagine a doctor living his elderly sick parents at home going to work each day ?  Still they give their 100% in an environment which is risky for them . Every single day they go out of their homes, they carry the risk of being exposed to the virus. I was admitted in a Covid hospital  i have seen these God's work day in day out in the ICU's caring for patients on the ventilator . Day in day out , risking yourself with the possibility of bringing the virus to your loved ones at home . But they still prod along. These are the true God's.  

Let's help them in every possible way we can. Let's take a pledge and promise these God's that we will follow all the necessary protocols of Covid. Stay home stay safe.
