Life and learning in the times of Corona

We have survived nearly 5 months of a lock-down courtesy Covid 19. The administration is doing all it can to keep citizens safe. Many have walked thousands of kilometers to get home from their work places. Normal life has taken a back seat. We are all at home. And then there are the divergent few who will take the 'road less traveled', proclaim that they cannot be touched by Corona and then go on to infect more around them. How can people be so bigoted, narrow-minded and fool-hardy that they have no consideration for others in their own community? They make life uncomfortable for their own brethren and widen the gap further between communities. Then they will proclaim that they are being targeted - classic case of self-propagated paranoia. But what have we as citizens of this world learnt from this ongoing crisis: - We can survive within the safe environs of our homes, for starters. So lets make our home beautiful both spiritually and physically. - Citizens are volunteering to help in times of need. - People are finding new ways of keeping themselves gainfully engaged. There are many online courses to enroll for. More time for hobbies to indulge in. Spending time with family doesn't count much as most youth remain glued to their mobiles. - The youth of this decade is getting a taste of life in the 50s, 60s and 70s. The only difference is that we now have the internet to keep us connected. Between the 50s - 70s, it was the humble radio. - We are learning to work from home. - Crisis can hit us at anytime. We must be prepared for future such pandemics. There may not be any wars but pandemics. - Many jobs are at stake. Specially the BPO industry as many European countries lock-down for 6 months, like Australia.Economy is taking a back seat.
