COVID 19- Are you acting stupid/Responsible?

Are we Indians stupid? In India, the police are beating up the people. You might have seen the videos on Facebook, WhatsApp.
What do you think-Is it right or, wrong?
Bigger question is WHY...Why they need to do this?

It's almost 10 days, the country is in lockdown. I am also going mad. Being jailed at home is difficult. But this does not mean that I go out and roam around or, play with my friends. Because how does it matter.
No one is infected in my colony,
I have a strong immune system,
I am washing my hands every time,
I am using the mask.
  This thinking is dangerous. This small mindset can have big side effects. In the next part of the blog, I will tell you why this is necessary to cure this mindset first before we cure the virus.

When the lockdown was announced, 1000's of workers in delhi started moving towards their home town/villages. Someone spread this rumour that buses are coming from UP to take them home. Till then, there was no official announcement. Who is responsible for the chaos occured-The VirUS or US?


 As per a report, 22 people lost their lives not because of the virus but due to this chaos during the shutdown. The lockdown is necessary because we live in a country where people prefer meeting their friends, riding their fancy bikes even at the time of lockdown and crisis.
We lack so much common sense that when we were asked to clap at 5 pm, we started playing garba, roamed around in groups to beat up plates. Are we stupid enough that we think a religion can help us survive this pandemic?
How stupid people can be to spread fake news during this crisis?



There is only one remedy to this mindset- a big heart! Because of our boredom, our habit of not following the rules, people that are outside their homes are suffering and mind you, we are RESPONSIBLE!

We can ask the police to deploy some innovative solutions to tackle the situation but at least we can act responsible. A lot of people enjoy just complaining, but let's change that. Make a difference!

We will talk about what can we do being responsible citizens. Till then stay at home, stay safe.

A letter to Jersey No. 7 | The Captain Cool!

Dear Maahi, A very Happy Birthday! Hope you are doing fine. 'Dhoni finishes off in style, a magnificent strike into the crowd. India lifts the World Cup after 28 years. The party starts in the dressing room and it's an indian captain who's been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final'. I can feel this entire comment, it's  not a comment any more. This is a letter from a not so typical cricket lover to a living legend. I want to let you know three of the many things I have learnt from you. 1. There is always more time than you think.  I personally believe statistics tell it all. You have been not out 50 times in ODI, out of these 50 ocassions-India won 47 matches. You have always lived this lesson. 2. Don't think of what'll happen in next 20/30 years. Plan about what are we going to do tomorrow or, a day after. You have always exhibited the subtle art of doing more and expecting less. I believe this  is a solution to multiple issues of our...

Solitude and Loneliness

Don't you think the root cause of most of our problems is the underlying loneliness that most of us experience in our daily lives today. Let's analyse what is the reason behind and derive some practical solution to this. Basically there are two situations i.e, loneliness and Solitude. In loneliness, you are alone and worried about having no one by your side while solitude is experiencing a whole new world when you are alone. You experience happiness when you are alone. You don't need a second person to be happy. The root cause of our emptiness is that our foundation for living is based on lies. We are stuck in the loop of lie spread by ourselves only and continue exhibiting dual personality. Actually we try to complete our emptiness through other things, actions and relationships (people)- don't we? As a consequence, we become more dependable on those things, actions or people. This dependency could be at physical, psychological, financial or even at mental level....
