Takeaway of Covid-19 and Lockdown

Takeaway of Covid-19 and Lockdown

New Year 2020 started with a lot of hopes and expectaions. Wuhan city located in China far away from us was locked down for 3 months as it has been found that the outbreak of Corona virus started from same city. No one were aware of that such small virus having size in hundreds of nanometers could shook the hundreds of crores population worldwide. Now we are in mid of 2020 and having uncertainty of overall aspects of life. Bookish positive quotes and inspirational thoughts are spreaded to gear up the morals of badly affected people in the begining. Now everyone is in the mood of bursting mode as nothing can be controlled. All govt medical infrastructres which were introduced were britishers badly impacted by outbreak of corona positive. All public admin strategies got stuck. In the realm of politics allegations and claims reached to peak of hypocrisy. The biggest pain of this covid19 was immigrant suffering. The challenges to reach their belonging villages is one the biggest blocker. But good hope seen when many people served food and basic needs to them as a cause of humanity. This is true India when system fails, the true integrity among the Indian opens the doors of humanity. This lockdown can be witnessed the recarnation of socio eco political aspects of India. The limits of our efforts to cope up with such grievous situation taught life lesson every individual. Due to this many people lost their jobs also newly started businesses lost their hopes. I am one of those people who lost their jobs due to Covid-19 pandemic crisis.

First of all this is not an inspirational article. Whatever difficulties I faced during these days only I know and I am not at all interested to elaborate those feeling using enriched inspirational quotes. Everyone is having that typical endurance to face such unavoidable situation. Main motive of this writting is Self Realization. Due to sudden layoff in companies gives me a realistic wisdom of life. Every moment we decide about future and plan to fulfill our dreams but never get to know What will be served in our dish by destiny. After all such attacks are part of life and teaches us how to face life. We used to try to fit ourself into comfortable zones. People around us are always going to support us in difficult situation  but real struggle start from inside when we are in the middle of loosing hope. We are familiar with famous quote "Hope for the Best". But life is always put you in a such dramatic blackout where Self Realization only gives us a breakthrough. This self realization provides a wide spectrum of analysis of our decisions taken in the past and its consequences in present. Future always lies in our thoughts and respective deterministic actions. The lockdown era gave me the life lesson on how to prioratize the day to day activities. As usual like others my day start with typical nostalgic TV serials and its so called doses of ethics and cultured heroic lessons. In 2020 society needs right attitude towards drastic changes in life and relationships and our surroundings is fully filled with spiritual aspects of nostalgic dramatized mythological stories and epics. We need scientific attitude towards life and practical approach in culture. I used to occupy with WFH assigned tasks and list of web series and films to watch in the lockdown period. After loosing a job Self Realization plays vital role in my life to understand my importance in all sense. My overall focus was in prepartion of interviews and hands on practise in coding. These days taught me how to handle any situation by following self disciplined activities. In the lockdown while searching job and preparing for interviews I trully understood the practical importance of Priority matrix and pomodoro technique. Earier while studying to clear backlogs in college exam period I used these methods. After a decade I found same situation in my life facing unavoidable incidents. Today I am writing this because after getting a job in good product company and after finishing the onboarding formailties in I got time to interrogate myself. In a relax mind I found things and tasks achieved by me in last couple of months. I think this is a life lesson of Self Realization and Self Disciplined which can tackle any situation in life by putting right efforts in right direction. I truly learn what to avoid and what to focus to get better results. To summarize I would say its a greatest takeaway of entire lockdown.

Thanks for reading.
