In the Times of Corona

COVID-19, a virus that has taken many lives, that has no medicines or vaccination till now. People are frustrated, situation is so chaotic overall the world, there is agnoy and helplessness. Yes there are mixed but horryfying feelings, no one can do about that. The fear of being affected is high but making others affected takes the soul out.

Yesterday while travelling, I realized that even the small things you do day daily, gives you a chance to cherish your being even in the worst times like this. Being home, for me is a blessing. I am unable to understand why people fear to be home for 15 or more days? 

This time of deadly virus has given us an oppertunuity to spend some time with ones own self. This isolation has provided you a plateform to perform your individual rights, right of doing anything you wanted to do since ages. 

We have witnessed a robotic lives, that irritated us the most. 

Isn't this time a blessing?

Isn't this time a free space for you?

Does not this time give you flavor of being alive?

You fear the death, you fear loss (loss of health, loss of mental relaxation, loss of hope, loss of economy, loss of resources and much more) but are these all things in our hands?

Are we the ones to direct this time?

Are we the ones who can resume to earlier routines?

Yes, yes, we can do that.

After a long time 

I have seen animals walking freely-

I have heard birds voices-

I have been close to nature and seen other people too-

I have seen a pause on people's lives-

I have seen people reflecting on the journey they have been through-

I have seen people with multiple hobies and doing thier best to utilize this time-

This time is really tough but we can give our efforts as an individual to make it a bit easier.

I started to reflect on my life's events, whatever I have been doing? Which steps made me strong? Which people gave me strength? Which places I like the most? Which people I want to be with? Which things are my priority to do? Which objectives still remain to accomplish? What will be my career goal? what are my plans for future?  

I have so many questions which I want to reflect on. I decided to be home for myslef. 

This time also gives you to reflect that how much do we care for others? how much sense of responsiblity we feel when we are all in same situation of chaos?

I started to think beyond individuality.

But

I want to make this time productive. 

I have few plans for rest of my quarantine days. 

I will act like a responsible citizen for myself. I will be home and will not blame anyone.

I will make sure no one would get hurt from my side.

I hope and I am sure this time will pass too but will surely make you more stronger than before.

As John Keats says "Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced".

To my soul-mates

A picture is taken in the deserted area of Tharparkar (Nangarparkar).

This picture was taken while sun was rising. The sunshines brought 3 different personalities in a frame of bond. Bond of strong relationship that can not be defined or labeled in any of the existing relationships. Because this is a different feelings combination like; love, care, understanding, emotions, trust, value, and being there for eachother in any bulk of time.

Meet Ajay, He is my Boss's Boss (in literal terms). Before I met him, I felt there is only relationship between a man and woman that they can be good companions of eachother's lives. But meeting him changed my perceptions.
We met in December 2018 when I joined TCF. I was directly reporting to him because then he was my boss (but he never liked to be labbeled as such). Being with him taught me, there are people who truely care for you when you spend your time with them in a professional environment, they actualy want your opinion when they have different decision for you, they mean to be guide you not to rule over you (this is just a professional introduction).

Ajay, a person with so much love and care for others; relatives, colleagues, friends, neighbours, helpers (he does not like to call servents), and many others who directly or indirectly are part of his circle. He meets everyone with smile on his face. 

He has played a big role in my transformation, he showed me how to be balanced in life when you have hundreds of problems, he hold my hand and taught me to fight for my rights when my own family left hope for that, he came extra mile to make me comfotable in each passing day when I was on the dance floor to stand against unjust (according to him; dance floor means your place where you are in full energy). He is an angel for me, who took me to next level of humanity and empathy. I learned the ways of life from him, I learned to grow. He deserves to be praised for whatever he did and is continuously doing. KUDOS

Now meet my sister from an other mother; Anum. By looking at her face, one will realize a calmness and stillness inside. She is symbol of honesty and truthfulness (she never encouraged me to lie not even for a good reason). Though everyone has different dynamics in life, she is the one who truly transforms and changes according to time and need. She has been the source for my confidence. I know I will never be able to tell her that she is one beside Ajay who handles me well (Whenever I get angry she sits and listens). In my starting days in TCF; Ajay, Ayesha and Anum used to annoy me by syaing that I have always anger whenever I speak (bhae meri tone hi aisi hai). Anum stimulated me to reflect on my tone, I worked on it too. So Anum, I have borrowed some of your habits (eating and ignoring). I am sure you will be supportive as always as you have been till now. 

I have more things to say about these two people. I would love to write an other blog on our good memories. But now I want to thank both of you for being a precious part of my life. A big Thanks to my soul-mates.

Love to both of you!

Stay Blessed.
