A gentle reminder..

 

Dear you,

How are you? Yes, I know you are not well. I know you are blank, confused, depressed and your heart and mind filled with void. Trust me, so do I. Can’t help to hold back my tears when thinking about the loved ones we’ve lost so far. I write this with deep grief and anguish that all we can do today is to stay calm, strong, pray and help as much as we can.

We all started the new year with a positive note that yes, maybe the pandemic is near to the end.  Well, guess we celebrated too early. Despite several warnings we received around the globe, we chose to ignore it (Self-decision). It’s not late though, yes I mean it’s not too late though to still come back to the same place we were a year ago. Yes, it hurts to sit between the four pillars. Yes, it kills us to move away from our loved ones. Yes, we still can’t go back to our workplaces or our colleges. Yes, we have to resume our vacation plans we’ve made all these days. YES, YES YESS….. and YES, the pandemic hasn’t ended yet.

We have come to a difficult phase where all we hear is about deaths, lack of beds, oxygen supplies, unavailability of vaccines and spike in millions of cases and uncertainty about the end of this pandemic. It feels like a Padmavyuha where we all are searching to come out of this trap. Who to blame today? WHO? The government? the hospitals? Or the public? We all are responsible for this, let’s not point fingers. 

All we can do is support and help each other out to fight against this battle of life. Expressing immense gratitude to all the people who have contributed their part and salute to all the covid warriors who have defeated the battle and thanks to all the front line workers for your continuous support throughout. I urge everyone to look out for your family, your friends and your loved ones. Give them at least 5 minutes of your time and ask how they are feeling. Send virtual hugs and love whenever it’s possible. One birthday party, one wedding, one reunion and one coffee date can wait just few more days. When this ends, meeting you would be the first thing I would look forward to. Right now, our common goal is to save humankind! Let’s come together and work on it. Let the government and hospitals do their job while we do ours.

Stay Strong! Stay Safe! Be Responsible and get vaccinated.

With lots of love,

SS

Be Kind to your Mind!

As we are in the Mental Health Awareness month, it is really important to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Mental health depends on many factors such as handling situations, family imbalance, peer-competition, societal pressure, trust issues and etc. Research says the people in our lives and around us impact on our behaviour also. We meet a lot of people with different personalities. Some makes us happy, sad, angry while some make us feel guilty for what we are by pointing out flaws. Your tribe decides your vibe. So, who are your tribe? Let’s see the common types of people we come across in our lives.                The Socializer a.k.a Extrovert – these people always take initiatives, makes friends easily, always ready to help others and are party poopers. They are optimistic but little dominant in nature. These try to cheer you up when you are low. The Home Alone a.k.a Introvert – these people have very few fri...

The Quarantined Mind!

      Days passing by, we have no motive but to wait for the lock down to end. Today, we are talking that there used to be a time when we were rushing to work in the congested traffic, attending meetings, hanging out with friends, going out on weekends and prioritizing things has brought a new meaning for B.C i.e, Before Corona.                             Life is unpredictable – well yes, the perfect example of what we have been going through the past few days. Economic crisis, Recession in jobs, deaths, cancellation of travel is what we hear all day. Each one has a different story but today we all are part of one big story COVID-19 sharing the common emotion - quarantined between four walls, social – distancing and hoping for a tomorrow. What do we call this? World War 3? A Phase?   Or a Trauma?             Everyone’s doing their part and making the use o...
