Lock down Learnings #1
Lessons
from the lock down:
Gratitude:
if you have roof over your head, food on
your table, some money in the bank, a job that you can go back to and are of
good health, you have no idea how blessed you are. I realized this in a few
days after the lockdown when I saw the people around: the unknown, the unspoken
for, the unrecognized and the uncared for, the real India, the people who make
and build the nation.
I was
part of the jolly group of people who celebrated the good times at home and
then I saw around me so many people for whom home was a distant mirage. Stories emerged about
the way the lock down has been handled and the apparent callous planning that
seemed to care only for the privileged ones. By privileged it will be the
people who will read posts like this or make videos of their "challenges". For the
less privileged, life itself is a privilege that many others are grudging them.
I
am thankful for all the mercies that I have received, which I have taken for granted all along and I regret that have
drowned in my false privileges.
Finally
we don’t need a PM to Care for the neighbor, because it may be too late. You
and I can do much better. And we don’t even need to post what we do on Social media because the likes don't fill an empty stomach.
so true.. i say a word of thanks every morning and at night...
