Jasbir Jassi: This pandemic is mother Nature’s way of reminding us who is the boss

With around 13 albums to his credit, Punjabi singer and performer Jasbir Jassi is still known for his hit Times Music release, 'Dil Le Gayee' (1998). And recently, he penned a poem, that has been narrated by Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee and translated from Punjabi to Hindi by Prashant.
Talking about the poem 'Kudrat', the musician says, "The reason I wrote this poem was because of the ongoing lockdown.I was observing that irrespective of people being big, small, rich, poor, religious saints, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or any other religion, all were thinking alike and that was about how to save their lives. So, I feet that its only 'Kudrat' who has made everyone equal during this crucial time. Not just corona but nature too inspired me to write this peom. Its about how Mother Nature or Kudrat has shown it's own ways to set and cure everything all by herself. Nature wanted to get healed and that's why all of this happened. Nature performs a certain cycle to cope in healing herself and this is what inspired me."
Jasbir who is a performer feels the lockdown has affected everyone in many ways. "Due to the lockdown there is a major effect on the shows and concerts that were supposed to be happening. Many people are doing online shows. I am missing all the fun and excitement which these shows and concerts use to give me. Shows keep you fit, you constantly think of practicing and keeping your voice, body, mind. ready for the show. All this is happening in some way even now, but still I miss Live shows."
He feels that the lockdown has had a some noteworthy positive effects too. "One of the most important benefits that lockdown has given us is that you can get to know yourself much better, find the purpose and meaning of life in the true sense, and work towards it to make it better, rediscovering your old hobby, spending time doing your most loved activities which otherwise you were not able to do, being with your loved ones. It's a process of basically finding yourself." he says.
“Since the beginning of our time on this beautiful, glorious planet, humans have taken what they wanted, giving little thought to what they leave behind. We have foraged the forests for food, killing animals, wreaking havoc without looking back. This pandemic is mother natures’s way of reminding us who is the boss” Jasbir signs off
