Hello friends,
In my previous post '21 Lessons for a Happy Life (Lockdown Pt.I)’ I have shared some thoughts that you may have
already read or heard various times but rarely followed.
As the Lockdown is again extended
by the Government, it is obvious that the emergency health condition arises due
to COVID-19 is still a fear for the mass. The news channels and the WhatsApp
forwards have already intimated us about the situation. Some of them are true
and some are fake but still this is not the right time to debate upon what has
been done till date and what could be done at that time? The time demands a
discussion on how we can manage the situation and what steps could be taken by
the District Administration to stop further spread of the virus? Every person has to become responsible for the life of their own and their loved one’s.
There are a number of negative
news filled in the surroundings and we have to maintain our physical as well as
mental health. Many of us have lost their job, many have witnessed a pay-cut,
many have seen the unfortunate situations they were not prepared for! In such a
time of crisis, it becomes very important to remember our privileges and to be
happy with whatsoever we have in life. The thought like ‘the kind of life I am
enjoying today is my privilege because I have seen so many people who could not
afford this too’ is the ray of hope.
Our lifestyle has been changed.
We are eating homemade food without complain. Sharing dishes as the most
precious thing in this world. Hygiene habits have been changed impromptu. We are
enjoying a lot with friends, family and acquaintances. Some may have not found
one or more of these privileges. Work from home has been emerged as a rescue
for most of the companies/businesses. E-commerce and home delivery have seen a
wide impact yet they have managed to deliver essentials. Online gaming has seen
rapid boom. Online education is emerged as a widely accepted method to teach. Even for
those who have never thought of themselves delivering a lecture online from
home or taking a lecture online at home. Social gatherings have disappeared
from life. Social distancing is becoming a norm. Agriculture sector is seeing
the widest implementation of technology. And many more…
In the mean time we should envy
with ourselves and learn many more skills that we could. I am very sure that if
you are reading this, you have at least an uninterrupted internet connection.
Make use of that to excel in the art of what you were doing before Lockdown. Develop
new effective and efficient ways of carrying out those old tasks. You should be
fearful of losing the skill you have acquired by practicing in those days. Doing
nothing in this period will take you back. At this moment, there is no other
than you can motivate, help, support and console you. Be sure that this will
end sooner or later. Your skills will be required. You will again contribute in
building the nation. This time may be better than previous one!
