Peace, COVID-19, mails
International Day of Peace
PEACE means so much more than the absence of war. More ordinary conflicts arise from disputes with family, colleagues and neighbours and these disturb our sense of peace. Making peace with one person today, even if it is just with yourself, is a fitting way to mark the day. Light a candle, reflect, forgive and enjoy being tranquil.
The International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21. The “Peace Day” provides an opportunity for individuals, organisations and nations to undertake acts of peace and kindness. People across the globe engage in diverse and meaningful ways: from observing a minute of silence, attending peace education events and writing peace poetry, to participating in peace marches, yoga and meditation. It provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of peace.
The war and hate between countries, cities, religion and neighbours will not only harm self-being but will divide so, this Peace Day let’s open our hearts to take personal responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings and choices. Peace needs building, not just celebrating. Make everyday your day of peace as you work towards harmony at home, school, work and in the community.
There are many ways you can take part in promoting peace. Let’s come together to celebrate peace, I live you with a quote “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without”. – Buddha.
Wishing the greetings of “Happy World Peace Day” to all the people and readers.

COVID deaths
THERE are growing instances where COVID-19 deaths are reported over a month or two later. Like the other day (20/09/2021), they reported there were zero deaths for the day but nine deaths from 12/07/2021 to 09/08/2021.
Not a medical expert but I think you need to determine the cause of death before the body is cremated or buried. And the deceased would be quite disappointed knowing that his family is blaming his death on smoking, alcohol, and diet when actually it was the virus.

Wrong box
OCCASIONALLY, I receive mails belonging to others in my post office box.
These mails are from business houses for example commercial banks, a furniture company and office of local government.
Mistakenly, I open these envelopes which rightfully don’t belong to me.
Indicating in written regarding these documents posted on wrong box number, I post them back to the sender. Few times I hand delivered some of these documents to the bank.
Despite all these, I still receive bank statements of the same customers in my post box from good several years. Also mails have been strewn about within the post office area, probably sent to others’ postal addresses.
I hope employees from business houses take extra care to look into their customers’ correct addresses, maintaining their confidentiality and reliability.
