Corona Cola and other Stories - Sukhbir Singh - Bog

All human catastrophes triggered trails of literary creations everywhere in the world. The literatures spawned by the Great Plague of London, American Civil War, two World Wars, Holocaust, Communist Revolutions, Spanish Flu, and HIV are some of the glaring instances. The literary monuments they spewed stand like the lighthouses to guide the floundering ship of humanity to the safer shores of the stormy ocean. Similarly, there will be a surfeit of Corona literatures in times to come which would stand as testimony to this unprecedented calamity and inspire humanity to keep alert against such future eventualities. We have had our chance but may not have the next? "Awake, Arise, and Act!" Each story in the collection depicts an unsavory situation, precipitated by the sudden Corona afflictions, to display the ordinary young men and women making extraordinary moves to save their life, morality, and sanity. The innate elemental forces take full charge of the ghastly conditions and the characters hold on by the dint of their innate physical strength, moral courage, and intellectual ingenuity. Finally they come out victorious and spend the rest of their lives happily. The stories both individually and collectively send out a message to the vulnerable people not to give in but to fight heroically in the face of the deadly conditions. The victory will be ultimately yours in life as well as in death.
