When we are asked to live inside our home,
and break the chain of COVID-19,
we yearn to come out.
The time is crucial,
to stay inside,
and stop the spread of corona virus.
Days don’t matter,
nor does the endless ticking of the clock,
What to do?
How to spend time?
How to kick start the life?
Which seems to be stopped now in the midst of this chaos.
You are lucky, if you can avoid going outside,
many of us still have to do our duty,
Doctors, nurses, police, power engineers and who so ever.
You are lucky, if you have food to eat and roof to stay,
many of us don’t, and we walked on our feet, from cities to our home states,
some arrived, some perished in the way, if not, by Covid-19, then by poverty
hunger & thirst.
If you don’t have to, be happy & show gratitude to the God,
and spend the time with your loved ones,
be with them, for whom, you claim,
you are running behind money,
for betterment of their future & present,
but you have literally no time for them.
Grab this opportunity to be really with them,
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually,
sit, and see how much effort your mother put to cook your favourite dish,
and cherish that food, without any haste to run away,
and praise her, if you never did,
thinking that this is her usual day to day work.
Sit with your father, who day by day is getting older and older,
but you have no time to talk to him, and ask if he does need something?
he will not ask you anything, He has always been in the role of your father,
giver, he will not ask anything, but he will be happy,
just if you ask him, If he does need anything?
may be the little time you give, is more than enough for him to make him happy.
Spend time with your brothers and sisters,
without keeping your mobile in hand and head bowed down,
be away from all the social media attention,
and give them the you, the real you,
and show them by your true intention,
how much you care about them.
Sit with your spouse, and listen to her,
Holding her hand, embracing her,
which you haven’t done from such a long time,
In the hassle to earn, to run, to arrive at your offices and shops,
which you think, is not necessary,
If you provide them all the necessity and luxuries of life.
May be this corona is making us realise,
to stop running,
And slow down
and spend time with our loved ones,
Who are not here forever
and more valuable than the money, we are running behind.
