POSITIVES FROM THE PANDEMIC

 

Ever thought we would be able to see the clear blue sky from our city buildings? Ever thought we would care so much for our personal hygiene? Sanitizing our surroundings and hands every hour. The COVID pandemic is the most difficult crisis our planet is facing since the 1918 Spanish flu, one that kills people and also leads to an economic recession.

But the good habits COVID has given us should stay with us for a long time. The person who didn't bother about eating fruits or washing hands after coming from the market is now serious about hygiene and the food he or she eats. We are now caring about our health. While we wonder how the world changed from staying positive to negative. The pandemic has taught us several positive things too.

Students who were always busy in their day-to-day schedule, full of tensions and exhaustion, now they are able to explore themselves with interests and hobbies. Remember the time when we could sit and talk for hours at Starbucks sipping our luxury coffees, which is now replaced by homemade ones which are far tastier than those luxury ones making a lot of them a good chef. The onus is now on us how to use this time to explore ourselves.

When we are done with this pandemic, which we will definitely be. We could get two choices either to go back to the world it was before with new skill-sets or with just grim past stories.

Lost and Found: The Quest of Finding TRUE SELF

  Restless nights, where the clock's ticking echoes with memories of loss, are peculiar moments in the human experience. The absence of a dear person and the ache of their departure seep into the silent hours, leaving an indelible mark on the soul. But what if, in this contemplative silence, an anonymous call breaks through, hinting at news—whether good or not? Our connections, losses, and self-evolution weave a complex tapestry in these intricate threads of human existence. Among these connections, the most intriguing journey is one where we lose ourselves. It's not just about losing a person or a memory; it's about losing who we were. Reflecting on oneself compared to a year ago reveals the evolution of perspectives, emotions, and values. Humans constantly transform their outlook on life, relationships, and material possessions. In the 17th century, John Locke astutely observed that certain bonds remain unbreakable despite our evolution—the bond with our first

BEYOND THE GLARE: UNVEILING THE REAL STRUGGLES

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King Jr. In the cacophony of success stories that flood our Instagram reels, the word "struggle" is often thrown around like confetti at a celebration. Influencers, with their polished narratives, paint pictures of overcoming odds, but do we truly understand what struggle means? Is it the tale of a privileged youth handed a golden spoon of wealth, aiming to multiply it into a fortune? Or does it lie in the journey of a middle-class individual stepping out of their comfort zone to carve a path in unfamiliar territory? Perhaps, it's found in the everyday struggles of ordinary people, like a young woman selling mangoes in the well-poshed societies of a metropolitan city under the scorching sun with the temperature soaring above 45+ degrees Celsius with her 6 months child clinging onto a make
