How do I prevent the merciless killing of Corona, how do I bear the pain and suffering of departed souls, console the deeply disturbed souls? I will try to be light for darkening houses. Among the many efforts to win the corona, I have realised the importance of plasma. I donate plasma, I will try to be a saviour"
