Finding a purpose...

-


The recent outbreak of the COVID pandemic and the associated lock-down across the different parts of world have not only created a social and economic impact on the society, but have also deeply impacted the minds of one and all. The fast paced and outward lifestyles came to a sudden unprecedented halt. The sudden twist of events changed the scenario from a situation where time had been running out of our hands for a while now suddenly turned around into the current situation where the days have been passing home bound.

The situation did create a panic mind-set to begin with because the human mind has the innate ability to resist sudden change. But as time kept passing this period of lock-down gave many a chance to explore and re-surface their hobbies and subdued interests which had remained buried somewhere under layers of  work stress, family pressure and social bindings since long.

Finding time is a great feeling but finding time to rediscover yourself and finding a purpose in these times is even more fulfilling. The idle human mind initially and habitually ponders over the privileges it has lost. But, eventually it begins to heal itself and find solace in in the company of it's near and dear ones.

This golden time is an opportunity to find the lost out inner peace. It is an opportunity to grow as an individual, a time to devote to your family, a time to find and nourish your hobbies, time to spend lavishly with your children, a time to catch up on your long lost friends or just a time to unwind and relax your body- mind and soul. 

It's the time to make this phase in the history memorable for us and also leave a success tale for the generations to come.

Rajesh had been sitting on a wheel chair in the waiting area with a painful leg after getting an X-Ray of his ankle done. He was hoping for everything to be just alright as he had an upcoming presentation today and thereafter he had to travel for an important business meet. Rajesh had hurt his ankle as he had slipped and fallen over a flight of stairs early in the morning. So, now he sat at the hospital grumbling to himself about his idea of losing weight by running up and down the stairs that had struck him three days ago. "Seema" Rajesh called out to his wife "Hmmm.." she replied while scrolling through her phone "Just a minute, let me call the maid so i can ask her to come later." Seema got up and moved to the corridor as she made the call. Leaving Rajesh once again with his thoughts. Rajesh had been implementing his idea of running up and down the stairs and the past two days had somewhat gone well for him as he had been able to achieve this

While hurriedly pacing up and down the living area "Aren't you nervous?" said Priya Glancing at Natasha sitting by the window just gazing out and sipping coffee. Natasha looked at Priya and asked with raised eyebrows "Nervous? Over what?" "Aren't you meeting Adi's sister tomorrow?" "Yes, but how is that supposed to make me nervous?" Saying this Natasha adjusted the pillow supporting her back against the wall and went back to sipping her coffee. Leaving Priya surprised by the composed response. Priya started again "Are you going to take a gift for Adi's sister?" "Didn't think of that.. May be some chocolates" The calmness of Natasha's responses was unnerving for Priya who seemed to be more perturbed by the meet tomorrow. "Natasha are you really so cool about all this?? Doesn't it bother you that your future sister-in-law meets you tomorrow for the first time? What if she doesn'

At the airport..... Tara was rushing through the crowds trying to finish her boarding formalities so she could sit back and update others about her forthcoming travel. She quickly finished her check in and was now waiting in the lounge for her boarding announcement. Without wasting much time the first thing to be checked off her list for the vacation was to put up her selfie with a Starbucks coffee cup in hand with an update to let the world know of her upcoming trip with her girl gang. So Tara bought herself a coffee and sat in an appropriate chair to get the best view of the lounge, herself and of course the coffee in hand. *Click* And the next moment she updated her Facebook and Instagram acquaintances about her excitement. Soon the boarding was announced and she reached New Delhi where all her friends had planned to gather to catch an onward flight to Phuket. The recent commonality among all of them were their social media updates besides the mutual likes and c
