                          Alone………………. Alone we come on the earth, Alone leave it too. But alone we are staying at home now, The word ‘Alone’ becomes like a sign for all. Some take it forcefully, Some intentionally, And some easily. Everywhere, it is preached, advised and Imposed by. However, it doesn’t feel itself alone as surrounded by many! Who is alone? The word or we!

We people are habituated of telling other’s story on social media. We take proud to tell that some celebrity or politician has donated that much amount. Further, we also mention that some celebrity or politician is missing. That type of post we keep on our account. Then we expect others to comment or criticise over it. Instead of what that celebrity or politician is doing, what ‘I’ am doing for the country. That matters a lot!                                    Remember what the American president John F Kennedy said once,   “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”

   Alone and silent at home…………….!             Alone and silent at home,  Sitting at a corner and sometimes before an idiot box Around heaps of coronavirus news. Question of what and how to spend 21 days, They say its opportunity. But sneezing, coughing and normal virus keep me at bay, It loiters through the mind, pours out darkness and hopeless                     ahead. These seem to be a way to know self and others well, Long days teach everyone a lot about life. In end, coronavirus exists in instead of out!

                                                          The story of Eunuch                   Yesterday I saw a group of women with lighting lamps under the Neem tree. Though the government declared the lockdown yet these women gathered there and offering prayer under that tree. I was shocked at that scene. Then I asked one of the women who was returning why they had gathered and lighted a lamp under the Neem tree.                      She narrated the story of Eunuch who was killed by someone at somewhere. And it was tradition that the women who had one son she should light a lamp near the Neem tree in the sake of praying that his curse would not fall upon them. As it is a story that the Eunuch is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. So the wo...

                                  Journey to self -discovery                          The onset of New Year 2020, I decided to start a new venture in the education field. It was about handwriting and spoken English course for school learners. So I approached most of my friends for either partnership or associating with me in it. I viewed that it could help me with manpower and finance. Further, I shared ideas with them on how we went ahead and what we got positive learning along with profits. I was very hopeful of someone to join hands with me.                     But nobody accepted my proposal and ideas. I became doubtful of my ideas as well as a venture. These friends had pushed me into a pool of deep thinking. Their rejection raised an eyebrow over my ideas and a startup. I didn’...

                             Yesterday I was sent to 3 A class. I was late to reach there. So there was a lady teacher and perhaps she was the class teacher of that class. As soon as I reached there, she started speaking with me loudly. She raised the question at me why I had been late. I just listened to her quietly. Then she was about to leave, at that time the whole class begun to laugh. Because they thought that I was going to make them laugh and enjoy. The class teacher heard their shout and started scolding them when she returned the class. She was very serious. She warned them about their shout. They became silent and their faces fell.                                     She warned them not to shout. Otherwise, she would check their papers strictly and fail them in some subjects. Then there was total silence. Eve...

                    Positive teaching of Coronavirus to the whole world There is something positive about Coronavirus. Let’s see in the following lines 1)     Health is very important. 2)     Don’t keep our Co-Rona-Dhona Spirit but the fighting spirit in life. 3)     It makes us wash our hand with soap number of times in a day. 4)   It reminds us to follow a forgotten culture ‘Namaste’ to others instead of handshaking. 5)     It brings a concept of ‘ वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ’ to us. It means that the whole world is home as it spreads everywhere. It doesn’t limit itself in one nation. Today whole world starts thinking in one line to control it. 6)     It makes us go in an isolated room for some time and spend time with self. As we are very busy but it forces us for that. 7)     It makes us go for an isolated room but not isolated th...
