So, let's think from Inner Voice's
perspective which are Pro's and Con's developed due to Corona (Covid-19) Outbreak:
When I am writing this almost 1.5 lacs people have lost their life..so if we consider relatives minimum as 5, then almost 7.5 lacs people have lost their family members..!
Let's first take a glance on other negatives:
- People living not only on daily wages but middle class on monthly wages(due to extended lockdown) are at worst
condition now a days, who knows, at every corner of the country the help
is reaching to them or not.
- Many people from India immigrate to foreign
countries mainly to US, Canada, UK, Australia etc., by paying very high
amount to the immigration agents. From them many need to sell out their
land/houses/ornaments & what not, I also know some people from my
native place. Now these countries are facing layoffs and will try to
protect their people with their nationalities and so Indians will be in
big trouble as they have now nothing to survive even if they come back!
- Unprecedented economic recession has
already knocked the door.
- Humans are social animals after all, and now
social direct connectivity is lost at certain extent. Even I am living
apart from my 15 months old son now a days!
- Cases of domestic violence and divorce have
risen up.
- Budding entrepreneurs who were trying hard to
manage the cash flow of their dream projects are at big trouble, they have
to pay to their employees and the company can survive from one pay
cheque to another.
- Children are not able to play outside with
others so it is impacting their health and their emotional development for
good values like team building and has developed a risk to get addicted to
indoors games, but it is parent’s duty to play with them and keep them
engaged with other productive stuffs.
So all were gone worse?....Not
exactly....If we can see below positives, the list is endless...
- We were always talking about very basis needs
of a human like Roti, Kapda, Makan, we are now living with that only...did
you noticed!
- All of a sudden, some very important words
have lost their relevance or importance, like Ambitions, Competition, Show
-offs, high end parties, luxuries, growth curves, running in traffic like
mad rats ...uff ...everybody is willing to have a bare minimum needs and
save own's life, that's it.
- Companies are now evaluating and understanding importance of giving work from home to applicable employees which in turn save companies' expenses on providing staff bus/cab facility, canteen expenses, utilities charges. Employees can also save non productive time for commuting..and ultimately all companies think in such direction, load of daily traffic can be reduced drastically making city life easier for everyone..! (Possibility in adversity!)
- People are now understanding the importance of life insurance and keeping 'Emergency fund' equivalent to 3-6 months salary aside.
- Air quality index has fallen below 100 all
over, we can breathe very good air in our own city which was never
possible.
- Rivers' pH level and dissolved pollution level
have improved and will provide better conditions for aquatics.
- People have developed self-control for not to
venture out, have food made at home, to live in harmony with family
members.
- First time we got enough time to spend with
our children, so they are very happy now a days.
- As we are not able to go out and get the shit
in our mental dustbin, we are now alone at home and can learn to go
inside, think over ourselves and can increase our spiritual quotient (S.Q.).
- First time we got to learn, ohh my expenses
are so less... It not so tough to survive with this much of salary.
- We become more tech savvy, as now we have
to use technology for the work we needed to do in person.
- All other species of the world (except humans)
are enjoying their freedom on this earth now a days, which they had lost
after homo sapiens was introduced on the land. I think, how long they will
be allowed to roam freely.
- Much needed free time we got for realising how
it feels if we get retired without leaving job!
- Got time for practicing meditation, read books,
develop new skills. Husbands are helping their better half in daily work,
learning cooking and finally realising on their part, how great work a lady
is doing to keep everything in order. We may have earn less money this time, but more relations..!
- Earth got a pause button to rejuvenate itself
and looks like the earth is under maintenance mode and so for some more
years this earth will keep worth living.
- We were regretting every time to miss our old and childhood time of Doordarshan era and were sharing such messages/videos through whatsapp, now once in a lifetime we got such chance to re-collect those times when we are at home with our parents and enjoying Ramayan, Mahabharat, Chanakya, Shaktimaan, Circus, Byomkesh Bakshi, and like again experiencing & charishing that missed old time with this re-telecast. which is also helping our next generation to deepen the roots of our noble human qualities and values, like we did in our childhood through such life shaping TV programs.
- This lockdown came as a boon for parents whose children are at ready age for marriages, they got the opportunity to keep it simple without worrying 'kya kahenge log?'! and save their life long saving from wasting behind unnecessary expenses like Catering , decorations, crackers, Transportation for baraatees, Hotel stays, Beauty parlors, Pre wedding shoots and what not!
- Now we understand the importance and values of
our Hindu civilization's rituals like-
- To keep the shoes out of home/temples,
- Not to eat non-veg food,
- To incinerate the dead bodies instead of any
other method like burring/flushing away in river or living as such for
vultures.
- Take bath as soon as we return from any
cremation or even learn from any messengers for someone's death,
- Take water from separate glass fitted with
handle,
- Not to eat food which has touched anybody's
tongue (जूठन).
- Practice yoga and health life style to have
robust respiratory system and to keep the immunity at high levels etc..
- Namskar instead of hand shakes.
