So as most of you already know about the havocs of Corona virus, I wouldn’t discuss all of it but only a few things. Coronavirus which originated from china has supposedly made everyone’s lives miserable. People all around are gasping for oxygen, yes oxygen. Many have lost their near and dear ones and it is devastating to hear 1000-2000 deaths daily.

Ever thought people will be starving for basic needs like oxygen!!

Long ago, I remember my mother telling me that when water was started packing, people made fun of it. Water is considered a natural resource and people believe it has an unlimited supply. Who will buy water for 20 Rupees!

But look at us now demanding the most luxurious water for better health. Bisleri bottle? Sparkling water? I hope the same doesn’t happen with oxygen and people start carrying oxygen cylinders as if it is their walking stick.

But one positive thing which we can drive from this Pandemic was that well-being is the most important thing in our lives. We often get so involved in daily activities and in the need of money, we ignore the most important thing, HEALTH.

This lockdown phase of March 2020- well still going on, has made me a completely new person and I hope you too have grown spiritually and mindfully. I have become kinder to myself and to the people around me. Friends, lives are short.

I know getting a chance to write your class 10/12 exams might be the dream you were looking forward to, bagging the best placement offer right after your graduation might mean the world to you, or at the same time getting laid off might again devastate you. But this pandemic was an eye-opening experience for all of us.

I have personally made sure I talk to my parents every day for about 2 hours at least from my busy routine. Compulsorily that we all have dinner together and after dinner, enjoy the family time, playing cards, and chit-chatting while we are still together.

Also, this time has been proven to be very beneficial for me in the sense that I got a chance to see the world from a different perspective. It’s not always about me or us. Yes, agreed this time has helped me carve myself out which I probably couldn’t have done had life didn’t pause.

Shy children got a way to interact with teachers much better over Zoom call than in person. Work from home gave busy dads the bliss of time to spend with their children. Hardworking mums who lunge for family time, now have their partners giving full attention and so much more. But it is time to make the world a kinder and a better place for everyone to live in.  

In conclusion, I believe we have the power to change the world. My journey has been a life-changing experience and I am sure the same would have been for you.
