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".
