Magic Within!

The only storm you can control is the storm within -Sangmitra With this ongoing crisis which has shaken up each human to its core we often struggle to maintain peace and calm in the midst these storms. The people have taken onto roles to panic in their unique ways - some think it’s the end of the world, some think it’s nothing and refuse to spare any amount of their seriousness and some people in the grey area think that simple hand washing could save the world. I am not here to tell you which one of you is right or wrong, that is not my job.  We humans are so obsessed with our mundane little lives that we refuse to see the big picture. The message that is being screamed at you! Reconnecting . Yes the Message here is to Reconnect! As almost each part of the world is in lockdown and people who have sensibly self-isolated themselves have to deal with one major issue (apart from the fear of the pandemic itself) is to live with themselves .   And meanwhile...

All the different news from around the world have shaken things up. Political, natural, physical etc. all the levels are being shaken up. The people have suffered and those who weren’t there have suffered with knowing the pain of others and feeling helpless to change the circumstances.  But all this pain is bringing forth a transformation. It is making us realize what we shouldn’t put up with. It is showing us the value of life we are given which we often take for granted. It also shows us the value of each other. In the midst of suffering and each heart-wrenching news I noticed a common theme but not of hate, fault or revenge but of courage. In each incident when people were in danger there were those who cared more for others than for themselves. They put their life in danger to save those around them. Not how many people suffered but many others who were saved due to the spirit of some. That’s what gave me hope. I felt sad and proud at the same time.  ...
