Travel Through Tales:Post -Lockdown Life, Episode 2

Reduce Digital Disjoint

I am a Software Engineer by profession, a good human being by choice. No offense meant to any profession, yet the reason why I highlighted this is, as I have mentioned in my previous article, “Our emotional stability is hanging by a thread, forget about helping others we are failing to help ourselves.” Being good in all aspects is a necessity, we are finding it hard to adapt to the new change, be it staying at home, working from home or learning from home.

It is clear now that not all of us are blessed with equal amount of resources but God has given one thing that is equal to all of us irrespective of age, gender, race, region or what not.. Its our time, every single person has 24 hours in a day. Sometimes you don’t know how days pass and sometimes we just want the day to get over. It took me long years to understand the difference between the impact it has from spending it with our loved ones and over our machines. Now that I wish I were 20 years younger to start it all over, it was a whole different world. Specially the learning period.. Aren’t we all ready to do anything it takes to go back to our childhood with the knowledge we have now? Fantasy of most of us, As Krishna says, “I am time, the destroyer of all; I have come to consume the world.”

We do know how much education is important, especially the foundation levels. I am not talking about grabbing a degree but acquiring the actual knowledge, which is limitless. Around 54.29% of population in India use internet, most are settled in rural areas, many are working for daily wages, earning daily bread is a big deal for them, imagine buying a phone with perfect data pack that lasts for a day even after video conferences. There are thousands of children out there who cannot afford to attend online classes, I witnessed myself, tried helping them buy new phones but, we know, one or two cannot change the world. This is a small attempt to keep these children engaged until, maybe even after we get through the rough patch.

At this point in time, it is important for us to maintain the health, not only physical but mental too. We are conducted a refreshing session on Meditation. The word doesn’t need an explanation as we all are aware of the value it carries, although we don’t practice it everyday. Because you know, nobody is perfect or perfectly patient. But today I am gonna introduce someone who has been practicing meditation since she was a child, who has been availing everything that meditation has to offer. My best friend and twin sister Deepika. She will be telling us what is meditation is? Why and how can we do it? Why should one start at the earliest? What it has in store for you? Not only for children but for everybody. Repeating, it makes you not only a good human being, but a “Bestest” person.
