CV- The Most Famous Personality of 2020

 There is a new entrant in the celeb-town. Let me take a bite out of your monotony and excite you with THE MOST FAMOUS PERSONALITY OF 2020. The fellow holds multiple titles, ranging from the most powerful to the most influential which Forbes and Vogue are yet to identify. His is not a transient persona which will be lost as a passing thought. He is an era in himself having etched a niche for the generations to remember…MR. CORONVIR! 

Usually, people follow famous personalities but on the contrary, Mr. CoronVir follows people on a tremendous scale. He is a die-hard fan of people and people literally die for him.  His presence can be felt high above in airplane to deep inside your bronchi. As an exception, only the weddings seem to be immune to him! He rose to fame with his resilient spiky personality and brobdingnagian performance far away in the East. Such is his magic that his name reached across continents much before his physical self and as expected, he left no stone unturned to not stand by what was expected of him, rather did much more. Finding his nemesis appeared like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Moderna and Pfizer seem promising enough but let’s not count our chickens before they are hatched. Meanwhile, Mr. CoronVir remains the top banana in the political and social circuits.

In the nascent stages in India, Mr. CoronVir has been involved in few scandals as well, as the media spilled the beans about his association with some pretty singer.  He was caught red handed negotiating with hundreds of people in an enclosed building so as to increase his fan following. And later, he made a huge splash in the celeb-town of the country. Recently, Mr. Bachchan too had a tete-a-tete with him and it went so well that he doesn’t stop mentioning his name. Make a call right away if I lie. Obsession is surely a thing in the world!

In this age of social media, having followers is a necessity. During lockdown, CV was in people’s mind, but not in their lungs  heart. Empty roads, metro rail, markets hampered his socialization. Those wary of his presence tried and still try to fetter his influence with pen, needle and sword. They are hailed as corona warriors. But, as the saying goes, the real fun of steering a canoe lies in the storming waters. Once the lockdown caused saturation, he swayed past the territories like forest fire. His very name was sufficient for opportunists to mint money. Various businesses flourished, from masks to sanitizers to even quacks coming up with medicines like Coronil. The monopoly of this person is such that the likes of Dengue, MalaRia, TB, Diabe-Tess, Asthma etc. have been severely underplayed. One bad guy was not enough when his long lost brother, PAULution enters the stage to twist the events in his favour. Both have collaborated to cause an eye sore to the frontline corona warriors.

The competition is still cut throat with most people having bad throat. Welcome to the times of Coronavirus. The fittest survives. CoronVir, with its resilience, is the unequivocal winner, hence the most powerful. Even the big gun USA bows to him. So he becomes a sure shot entry to Forbes list this year. Let’s just wait and watch. Till then (clears throat)…excuse me.
