The bright and the beautiful amidst COVID times - Story #16

The tiny Corona virus has made the 'mighty' Humans introspect a lot, as individuals and as cultures / countries and as Humanity as a whole.  Here is an introspection by Kavitha, reflecting on personal habits and traditions. 

As I have finally settled down to the idea of a lock down(which a month ago was unimaginable) my perception of many issues has undergone a dramatic change.

I can go on and on but here are a few of my takeaways:

#1 Leaving footwear outside, cleanliness, maintaining physical distance, religiously washing our hands and legs as soon as we come home, Not touching anyone after bath and during cooking, etc are some of the few habits which most of the Indian household used to follow.  Now, these habits are recognized and have made a come back..
#2 Not only our children but also we have started taking many things for granted. This lock down is a wake up call and a learning experience for all of us.
#3 NAMASTE- The divine in me bows to the divine in you. This Indian tradition of greeting people is making a big comeback 🙏🏻🙏🏻.
