Lockdown knocked down our stress

My dear people,

I am not a poison for nature, but I am not honey for the human,

I am not nature's enemy, but I am not a human’s friend

I am not too harmful, but I am not harmless too

I am not a curse for human but I am a blessing for nature

I am a student of nature but I have come to teach human

Can you guess me?

I am a virus and you named me Covid-19. Yes, I am just a virus but I collapsed your entire busy world. Yes, I deserve it and I mean it. My dear human, believe me, I am not your killer. I am your gift. Yes, are you excited to know how? Let’s read!

Hi friends,

I hope you are fine and safe. And this is again a blog from my side that will make you think about a new thing but essential.

Just think a moment about the life of children, adults, youngsters, and everyone. We are just running in a race as horses tied with a heavy bridle. This society is turned into a racing stadium and we all are the participants from day one of our life. During our school days, we are just running behind the marks, and for the rest of our life, we are running behind the money. But at the end of the day, we don’t know how and why we are running. We do not know the answers to the following:

Are we running for us?

Is this necessary for me to run?

Will this race satisfy me?

And at last, did I win or lose the match?

This may look odd and funny but not. We didn’t even get a fraction of time to think about these questions but still, we continue running without regretting. But now this period of covid-19 has given us enough time to think.

After many decades, students of 10^th and 12^th standard are relieved from special classes. This period also thought us to live happily without seeking allopathy doctors for silly issues like cold and cough. After several years, school and college students are having holidays of nearly six months (till date) and also we learnt the importance of self-learning. We also learnt, our traditional games like Dhayam, Pallankulli, Snake and Ladder can entertain more interestingly than a movie. Hostellers learnt that a dosa cooked by our mom is more tastier that a pizza delivered by Swiggy. This quarantine of 21 days also introduced a new relaxing period which erased the word “stress” from our dictionary but temporarily.

Thankyou so much for such a period and I am sure that this will not come again in our life.

And my dear friends, Covid-19 is the seasoning period of nature. So please enjoy and make use ofthis time.

This period has given a resting time to think. So please stop running and think.

2020 was the dream year of Kalam sir.

But now,

When 2020 gets over, this year would be the great memorable dream of our busy life.

And here the blog comes to end. Thank you so much for spending your valuable time. If  this blog made you to think, Share to your friends and relatives. For more such blogs, Follow Youth of Change.
