Lessons from the pandemic

It took us covid 19 to bring invaluable changes to our daily lifestyle where children are actually seeing their fathers and mothers partnering and running the household: be it cooking,cleaning,teaching,working.Families are having two to three meals together every day, and spending evenings reading \watching movies – “family reading time” or “weekend movie time” it is.

Life now is described as before covid and after covid – Earlier we had crazy mornings like getting kids ready for school ,then rushing to work,some had kids to drop at day care.Breakfasts were with tabs on or with phone in hand.You were there but actually not.From that busy life and few waking hours together life has come to a pause. Its something happening in homes across the countries that is very positive.Zoom calls have been in rage since the lockdown began – school lessons,meetings,virtual reunions,family get together,coffee time,birthday\anniversary celebrations,that’s the place to be.

Even after this mayhem passes by we shouldn’t forget the positives that this pandemic taught us.Once again when we will be allowed to move around freely without any restriction,we shouldn’t resume to the past chaotic lifestyle.Most of us also realized that retail therapy is just a myth to de stress.The reality is we all needed this pause in our life.

Together we should pledge to abandon our old habits and adopt this learning for life.We do not want things to return back to normal but to get better.
