Hi, I'm Corona....

-
I am so excited!!😃 So, let me start by introducing myself. I'm Virus, Corona Virus!😉 
Coronavirus

I come from the family of Viruses. But do you know, my ancestors dated back to mid-1960s. We were on a mission to make human beings realize how badly they are treating Mother Nature. But everything started spoiling when one of my sibling Co-Vid19, became notorious in Wuhan, China and the whole world is now facing a pandemic. I feel very sorry for all that is happening because of us. But I guess we all are here for a purpose; and we are very well aligned with ours. As we all know every medicine has a side-effect, similarly our mission too has a side-effect - the Pandemic!

I am aware that the world is badly affected with this pandemic. People are dying in large numbers. Some countries are losing hopes and becoming helpless with the uncontrolled situation they are facing. Countries are facing lock down for unending times! Many people complain about the lock down and how bored they are sitting at home. I feel sorry for the migrants who are stranded away from their families and homes. I see that the economy is crashing causing unemployment in huge numbers. People are losing their jobs just over a call! How cruel you humans can be! I see doctors, health workers, police men and other essential services guys working tirelessly to save their fellow humans! I salute to these guys who are doing it as a duty. Now I want to ask you all, why are there no reservations now? Why does a white patient not refuse a black doctor now? Why there is no religion coming in way of all this? Give it a thought - was all this ever important?

Well, these questions would result in a long debate with you guys! But have you seen - when there are less people around, mother Nature is healing herself.😁 As I have been in India for a while now, I have seen amazing things happening here. I have seen birds around forest areas roaming freely without fearing death! I have seen Himalayas from Punjab which is 200 km away and also from the state of UP and Bihar. Watching dolphins jumping and sailing along the shore of Mumbai was lovely.

We all have known - Cleanliness is next to Godliness; but now we are living it! Less people on road has left less garbage around. All roads, parks and other surroundings have become pleasant. We have clear skies and less pollution. Where the government of Delhi was worried about the rising pollution, we helped to get rid of it in just few days! Delhi now has clear skies. The picture of India Gate without polluted air around it was such an amazing view. 😀

Hearing of global news too made me feel proud of myself and my family. The people of Kathmandu could see Mount Everest from their city and the ozone layer above the Arctic got healed. Such miracles were not possible for you humans hence we had to step up.
Talking about all the good side of things, we have seen families spending time together. People who had hectic work schedules, the ones who could not make time for their children or their parents now spend long days together. I have seen fights......no no.....not the usual ones, these are cute fights between a father and his kids over winning in board games, there are songs sung and stories getting shared with each other. All this showed how beautiful relationships can become if they are given the right amount of time.

Even though you humans have so many negatives, the best positive of you guys is POSITIVITY! I have seen how people are helping each other and consoling each other in this hard time. I love how positive you guys remain and show great hopes even in bad times. 
Well, I think I have said a lot. Now it's time for you all to think about your actions for future. You need to understand that if God has given you the power to live the way you want, he also knows how to make you realize the importance of survival!

I know you must be wondering as to how long I will be there. Let me tell you, I will be there for a while to see how things go. I wish you all realize that balancing human life with nature is important. I am really sorry for all the havoc done so far. Finally I would like to end by saying "Being harsh on someone is really hard. Sometimes it's the only way."

- Bye 👋

TRUST

“ Trust is like an eraser; it gets smaller and smaller with every mistake.” - Anon Well this quote surely defines trust completely. Have you ever wondered how we human beings have started doubting more and trusting less ? I came across this thought after I witnessed the following 2 incidents: Incident 1: Me and my family went for a drive to a small hill nearby. We were at the hilltop where there were very few people around.   While we were enjoying the small tunnel that passed through the hill and clicking some #nightlife pictures, we saw an old lady at a distance. Her presence was not much of a concern till the time she was away. The moment she started approaching us, a wave of panic crossed our minds. General human habits - when you see some stranger at night, you are prone to doubt their genuineness. She started speaking to us about something in a language quite alien to us! Because of her constant nagging and following us, we finally decided to leave

Activity - based Learning

Lock down has literally shown us that “History repeats itself!” While we go back in time with Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shaktiman on TV and some good family time like we had in summer vacations, I thought why not go back in time and revise some mindful lessons learnt. In my article - A Step towards a Goal ( Click here ), I had mentioned about  Blue-Ribbon Movement  and its purpose.  Being a volunteer with them for two & a half year, I have surely met some great people, spoken about civic issues which every Mumbaikar faces everyday but refuses to acknowledge and learnt some valuable lessons which have helped me daily. With a beautiful format of activity-based learning , NSS – Community Connect Fellowship (CCF) involved us into the actual theme of connecting with and helping the community. Some activities involved learnings while doing our civic duties like below: 1. Finding civic problems and raising complaints to the BMC/NMMC/TMC/KDMC: This acti

College to Corporate

JOB – a really big achievement for an individual after their graduation. And the best way an Engineering grad can get his job is through the campus recruitment. Like many others, I too had a good fortune to get placed in an IT firm through my college campus recruitment and surely it was the best day ever.  Corporate life is what I was waiting for. The excitement to start a new phase as an IT professional was quite much more than one could expect. This new world stands in front of you, waiting to make you a part of it. The only things that you move along with are the values and principles your college has given you and the articles which inspire and educate you like “Do’s and Don’ts on first day of your job”. The college to corporate journey was thus to begin. My first day too was what I looked upon eagerly. How the culture would be? How much should I change to adapt to this professional life? etc. were the questions I was travelling with. And not much to my surprise I found an
