I somehow marvel at life. Last week we were working 8 to 10 hours balancing 10th and 12th exams along with school inspection, sensitizing students , planning for next academic year and today we are completely house bound. Earlier, where our perspective in life was inclined towards work and growth, now shifted to basic survival. The earth is so large, its surface area is 510,072,000 square kilometers but now every inch appears a risk zone. How could a virus measuring from 60 nm [1nm = 10-9 m] to 140 nm control us completely? Who gave it the power to cripple us globally? Today majority of people are glued to the television sets listening to news and updates, panic has become a way of life.
My entire daily routine has changed incredibly. Now, I don the hat of a cook, domestic help, homemaker and professional as we all are even working from home ensuring teaching learning is not stopping for any one. Given the situation, I doubt anyone might be even opening their laptops or books. I am sure everyone's profile is along similar lines as every building committee has ensured minimum people enter the premise to keep it safe and secure which I wholeheartedly support. So, as I am sitting in my balcony in the afternoon reflecting on the past few weeks, there are some things which has hit the bull's eye. Do let me know the impact it has had on you.
1. We boasted of being technologically savvy, medically progressive and military wise superhuman then how come we fell to our knees in front of this virus? What deeper message is this pandemic sending us? I personally love this video and hope you do too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZmaSZjYzww
2. We always desired vacations and holidays but how come staying at home seems more of work than a vacation. Seriously, I am awaiting the day I go out in the market and see it bustling with people rushing towards their tasks or perhaps just a stroll on the beach. The fresh air and human touch MATTERS.
3. We believe that people who are completing their studies are educated but when you see people evading the truth, socializing, taking a paracetamol before their flights landing to lower body temperatures, you wonder, 'Are they?' Today, I wish to rephrase and say they might be qualified but definitely not educated. True education teaches one to value every single body on earth.
So, it reaffirms that somewhere our value education system is weak and needs strong redirection. I request the respective education boards to assign it somewhere in the Board exams as we all are so mark driven, if we do not see it as a subject, we never study.
Further, every religious, social organization to use the establishments further for inculcating and strengthening these values within the larger community. Humanity is important, cooperation and support is profound and not simply ringing a bell or bowing down.
I am no magician just a simple educator. I do not know the future and neither do most but I do know that the theory of Karma holds true, you reap what you sow and everything that goes around comes around. So, send positive thoughts to the universe because theory of reflection says angle of incidence = angle of reflection and the same amount of positive reactions will be reflected back.
Together, we have a huge ground to cover but we will as the resounding claps of 22nd March was evident proof for those few minutes truly seemed spiritual. Nature is supreme and very soon the vaccine will be available for one and all.
