"Perfection is impossible as we are beautifully flawed individuals!" Our mentality affects our mood and our actions as they are interlinked. When we’re in a bad mood we can tend to be irritable or aggressive. But then it affects the way we do things and how we speak to people around. A lot of the time many of us don’t consider our mental health as something that affects our actions. Unfortunately, mental health often taught us that things are what they are, and there’s no solution to it but that's not true.

Almost all the migrant labourers have come to hate the cities and factories because of the way they’ve been treated by their employers. The main reason why the labourers have been so desperate to go back to their respective home is because their employers stopped paying them wages. Migrant labourers across India wish to return their homes and don’t want to return to the big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, etc. to see such humiliation again in future.

At the time of his announcement, our country had no more than a few hundred cases of COVID-19. However, PM Narendra Modi felt the country could not afford an outbreak of the virus. On the other hand, the fact is that we have among the lowest access to and quality of healthcare in the world.
