Coping with the pandemic fear!

Pandemics evoke fear. Fear in turn affects the psyche of the humanity leading to erratic behavior and chaos. The recent outbreak of Coronavirus is a befitting example of same. It is less of an infectious pandemic and more of pandemic of fear.

So, what should we do..??!

Be concerned due to it's infectious nature - YES. This is warranted.
Go an insane overdrive digesting every online post/message and make it viral without verifying the facts - NO. This is unwarranted. Stop it yourself and stop the people in your network from doing same.

Research and find out the truth. If you accept any limiting belief, it becomes the truth for you. Do not go that way. Widen the horizon and go with an open receptive analytical mind.
  • Understand the disease and it's related symptoms.
  • Understand the preventive measures to be taken.
  • Understand the steps to be followed in case of a detection. 
ACT as you should in the hour of crisis. Aid governance by educating the illiterate about the above as they need to know about it too. In all practicality, they might be clueless about the reality.

To overcome the psychosis, analyze the death rates and the reason behind them across various  periods like a year, last 3 months, last month, etc. You will see for yourself then that the so called Coronavirus pandemic is no pandemic at all. It is all a result of social media frenzy. More people have died and are dying from Cancer, Suicide, Heart attacks and what not!

Decide for yourself whether you want to let the unknown fear dominate you or you want to get a handle on the fear. - Do not conform with the flow. It is your LIFE. Take CHARGE.

A Legend Lost. A Legacy Forever.

 On October 9, 2024, India lost one of its most cherished industrialists and humanitarians, Ratan Tata. His last words on social media, " Thank you for thinking of me. " were quintessentially Tata—humble, understated, and full of grace. These parting words have reverberated across the nation, encapsulating the quiet dignity with which he lived and led. In an age where public figures often tower through grand gestures, Ratan Tata’s approach was markedly different. His power was wielded not through public spectacle, but through quiet action, compassionate leadership, and a relentless commitment to integrity. From his role in expanding the Tata Group into a global conglomerate to his advocacy for animal welfare and support for start-ups, Tata's legacy is one of kindness interwoven with visionary business strategy. What set Ratan Tata apart was not just the scope of his achievements, but the human touch he brought to them. Even as he orchestrated some of India’s most signifi...

The Dilemma of Elections: Choosing the "Best" Among the Worst

 Election season rolls around, and once again, we’re faced with the so-called “democratic choice” of selecting the next leaders of our country. But for many citizens, especially from the middle class, elections don’t feel like a meaningful choice at all. With so many political parties vying for power, there should ideally be a sense of hope or at least expectation. Yet, every time, the feeling that prevails is one of apathy. It’s a cycle of voting for the “best among the worst,” knowing deep down that, no matter who wins, the voices of the middle class will be buried under layers of hollow promises and neglected priorities. For years, political parties have operated on hidden, often divisive, agendas. Whether it’s wooing particular sectors, appealing to minorities, or focusing solely on Below Poverty Line (BPL) schemes, every party seems to tailor its rhetoric to a targeted voter base. And while each party competes to outdo the other in announcing schemes aimed at uplifting the BPL...

Embracing the Flow of Life

In our fast-paced world, we often try to control the outcomes of every situation. We want things to happen a certain way, on our terms, and according to our timelines. However, there’s a simple yet powerful philosophy that can help us navigate the unpredictability of life with more ease: "If it comes, let it come. If it stays, let it stay. If it goes, let it go." This mantra encourages us to let go of resistance and embrace the natural flow of events. By adopting this mindset, we learn to welcome opportunities without fear, accept stability without clinging to it, and release what no longer serves us without regret. It’s about living in harmony with the inevitable changes life brings, instead of fighting against them. 1. If it comes, let it come. Life often surprises us with new possibilities—whether in the form of relationships, opportunities, or challenges. By letting things come naturally, without forcing or fearing them, we open ourselves up to new experiences and growth....
