THANK YOU CORONA

Thank you Corona 

Is Corona here to DESTROY or SAVE the human race.

While the world is asking Corona to go. I have a little different take on the entire situation. Please do not misunderstand. I am not asking Corona to stay. But I am seeing the effect it has had on the entire human race. The birds in my surroundings are singing as usual. The dogs are guarding the streets as usual, except for the little confusion they experienced for five minutes, the squirrels are running to and fro, up and down the trees as usual, only the human is changing and I pray that the change keeps on getting better and better. Yes the trees are looking very happy as they are breathing clean air. 

This piece of writing was inspired by the way the country responded to the humble request of the prime minister and the way the world watched us all making a difference. 

We all know that for more than five decades the earth has been giving warnings in forms of Tsunami, different viruses, storms, fire, floods, accidents, etc. We called them natural disasters, we geared up for the time being, offered help, became united, but we got back to our own old ways of exploiting nature to its maximum. Also these disasters kept happening in different parts of the world. 
But now the earth is fighting for its survival, just like any living organism which fights for its survival and we can see the power it has. 
I have seen in many documentaries that nature is  most resilient and has the capacity to repair and thrive again. I think this is one way of it trying to stop the damage in a global way now.

I am neither a scientist, nor a philosopher, just a simple human being who loves to observe and I am liking what I am observing. 
1. People are getting UNITED as corona has not shown any discrimination. 
2. Many have started OBSERVING and are hearing the songs of the birds singing and their chirping.
3. Parents are BONDING with their children and having wonderful time together and that too without going to the malls. 
4. Everyone is being GRATEFUL for what they have as no one is now sure if their medical insurance will save them. 
5. Prayers were always a part of the world, however now everyone is praying for EVERYONE.
6. We all want to HEAL the world.
7. We all want to be clean and hygienic not just in our homes but we are thinking about the WORLD.
8. There is RETROSPECTION and many are on the Path to INTROSPECTION. 
9. YOGA AND MEDITATION is becoming the best exercise for physical and mental well-being.
10. HOMEMADE food is back in our lives. That too the entire family helping each other in the household chores. 
11. At the moment ANIMALS are not being consumed and we are all slowly accepting that we have enough to live on with plants and pulses and the other bounties of nature. 
12. We are all realising that very little is actually required to live a happy, healthy and content life.
13. People are experiencing less of anger, jealousy, envy, hatred. EGO has been driven out and LOVE, KINDNESS and FORGIVENESS is back in action. 
14. No one is in a hurry to go anywhere. There are no fights in the roads, no traffic jams, no exhange of heated words. Everyone wants to be in HARMONY. 
15. Each one is encouraging others to look at the POSITIVES. 
16. Marriages, Celebrations and birthdays are happening within homes and small ceremonies with near and dear ones. No WASTAGE or INDULGING. 
17. SCIENCE is busy finding a remedy and not making nuclear bombs. Moreover we know that misuse of science can wipe out the human race. 
18. LEARNING is happening at home and we are back to reading and hobbies.

If we maintain our newly formed habits and our attitudes towards each other and mother earth, the harmony and balance shall be restored. We shall enjoy the benefits of both nature and science.

The next two weeks definitely crucial for containment, however the next two months and two years will definitely set in new outlook, new ways of saving this race. 
The race which was following the rule of the jungle "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" will definitely move towards survival of all in harmony and peace. 

IT IS ULTIMATELY LOVE THAT WE ALL NEED

PUBG - Concern of many Parents.

PUBG - Concern of many Parents.  Recently almost everyday, I have one parent or more contacting me for consultation regarding the struggles they are facing with their child who is addicted to playing pubg. All the cases are of boys. Girls also play, however I have not been approached by any parents.  According to one times of India article, almost 400 million people around the world play Player Unknown's Battle Grounds (PUBG). In each game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and then look for weapons to kill the others without getting killed themselves. The last player or the last team standing wins the game. Now we all know that game addiction is not a new phenomenon. However committing suicide, blackmailing parents, manipulating situations, bunking school to stay at home and play the game, telling lies to enter a competition, developing tennis elbow, Obesity, aggressively reacting neglecting hygiene,...

Four Pillars of Learning

Strengthen the Four Pillars of learning. The four pillars which actually distinguish a successful person from a mediocre or average performing person are Reading, Vocabulary, Comprehension and Mathematics. Not only are they essential for learning, but they are a part of everyday activities, whether it is learning, working, planning, strategising, sports, business, entrance examinations, you name the activity and a person with good reading, vocabulary, comprehension and math always has an advantage. During my 32 years of work experience, I met thousands of  students, assessed them, profiled them and am in touch with many. I discovered that the ones who had a natural liking for reading ended up with a good vocabulary and even if they are not into careers like engineering or medicine, they are very successful because of their abilities to communicate and express. In these years I also interacted with many individuals, who have engineering degrees, but are average performe...

Teenagers and Lockdown

TEENAGERS AND LOCKDOWN When my earlier posts reached across, many parents wrote to me asking for some guidelines to handle teenagers especially when the lockdown got extended. The very two words do not go together that is teenage and lockdown in other words curfew. The word curfew for a teenager is associated with punishment and their brain would take a while to accept that this is for containment and not punishment. No doubt it is a challenge for the parents to first deal with their own schedules and the great challenges emerged out of this lockdown and this can have a double whammy  if there is or are teenagers who are experiencing frustration as well. It is a well known and researched conclusion that our frustrations come out on our lives ones and in the cas of the teenagers it is their parents. Instead of getting worked up and falling into the arguing and fighting mode, let us get into the solution and harmony mode. As parents, you first need to accept what they a...
