Greetings on Mahavir Jayanti. May
the teachings and blessings of Lord Mahavir bring peace and happiness to one
and all.
Had these been normal days, today
would have been a closed day – being a Gazetted Holiday! Missing badly, the occasional
holidays in this lockdown!
The lockdown has changed the
meaning of many things – even the famous dialogue of Gabbar Singh in Sholay - ‘Jo
Dar Gaya, Samjho Mar Gaya’ to ‘Jo Dar Gaya, Wo Samjho Bach Gaya’ in
these Corona days! We have started looking at things from a different perspective
since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that something good would come out
of this churning and it would lead us to greater heights.
The day lockdown was announced, I
had lot of apprehensions about its success – looking into the size of our
country and its population. Bringing
everything to halt in a democratic setting like us always seemed impossible.
However, the Janata Curfew on 22nd March 2020 – though just for one
day – demonstrated our commitment and proved that we are a disciplined nation. I
am in regular touch with my parents who stay in our ancestral village in Patna
District. I am pleasantly surprised to know that our village and nearby
villages are observing the lockdown earnestly.
Lockdowns of this scale is enough
to emotionally and financially breakdown the spine of any country. While
financial strength is secondary, emotional strength scores above anything and
everything. I would not be wrong to state that we have very well demonstrated
our emotional strength in these 13 days and our continued self-discipline for
few more days would see us out of the grip of the Corona Pandemic.
While scanning the news channels
today, I could get a glimpse of the enthusiastic spirit of our Corona Warriors –
NGOs preparing and distributing food to the poor people while maintaining the
norms of social distancing, the doctors and medical staff covered in PPE and busy
attending the patients, the sanitary staff cleaning the building premises with their
masks on and video clips of the kids telling us to remain at home. We are on
right course.
We have to fulfill our
responsibilities, by staying at our homes!
