We have seen a lot of things and learnt a lot of experiences since March 22nd 2020. Many of us have seen the highs of the life the lows of the life and are still restless with the things happening around. today I am sharing a story of some of my friends and their experiences when they were somewhere a part of this covid fight. Though I completely agree that the covid-19 was not only the fight with the virus but it is basically the fight with oneself your own mind and the people around. For some people who have fought and come up with a victory on covid-19 and some who have lost their loved ones we have some lessons that this era has taught us.
Once you are infected with the virus there is no point searching how did you get infected but the important thing is how you react to it, how your body your mind your family and people around you react to your infection. In the very beginning of this pandemic people have stood besides each other by the helping hands and concerns,but the same hands are slowly getting withdrawn because of the fear that they people have in their mind.
Mind was the biggest enemy in all these times as the medicines were doing the job but the willpower of a person and the thought process that dragged him back literally took lives of many people. The trauma of getting infected and being isolated along with the doctors in the PPE kit was something which was not easy for a infected patient. It scared him and the mind was someone who took him on a trip to lose all the positivity and minimise his will power and strength to live. Though we all knew that yoga would have been a best weapon to deal with controlling your own self and your own thoughts and mind. In such a scenario not everybody was comfortable practicing it for the very first time.
It was a very scary experiences shared by many of my friends that they had someone in the family infected with virus which is an accident as we all know but the way people reacted to the infection was weird disgusting and humiliating. The people whom sometimes we have stood by them in weaker times giving them strength and courage to bounce back have simply turned their back. It was not only the elders who suffered but the kids from the family also suffered as they were not allowed to play with the children around of course I understand that everybody is scared to the extent of death. But behaving so in human with a small kid is no where a human act. sharing experience about the small 4 year old kid whose father got infected with Corona and was hospitalized the kid had heard about coronavirus not very sure about what the disease is? one day missing his friend he from the grill of his house called up his friend trying to talk from the grill feeling lonely at house. His friend who is again five years old kid shouted from her main doors grill saying you please do not come to my house as your father is infected with Corona.KIds do not understand it's the way we elders talk in the family and kids repeat like parrot.
Even doctor ill treated by a wife when asked for home isolation.
Maids immediately stop coming for work, knowing the man of the house is infected who was hospitalised for some other reason a week back but same maids wanted to be paid in the month of March and April though they didn't work. We were told to have empathy and sympathy for less previlaged.
The lady who picks up garbage the sweeper refused to touch the garbage bag of the infected persons house with her headgloves on and addition to this she did it for entire floor. 1 k upar 5 free. While I was making her understand people peeped from their doors and enjoyed the discussions.
The maid shares the information that government is killing people by admitting in hospital, they don't treat. People may not understand the dialer tone for awareness of virus and safety, but such stupid rumours are always understood.
The doctors and nurses who were working in the covid Hospitals who were otherwise greated with a smile and are considered to be a noble profession faced the banging of doors on their face.
People on the floor of infected person closed the doors for ever and ever as though the virus would jump in the moment the door would open.
No phone calls to ask about the hospitalised patient, never know virus may travel through vibrations.
We the people of India are so equal and stand on same pedestral irrespective of our education, profession, awareness, caste bla bla bla.
Similar experiences which will give you goosebumps are being shared by many of my friends and even some warriors whom I do not know personally in my upcoming book somewhere in December 2020. I am happy for the people who are sharing with me to have enough courage to share their suffering rather than the people who have shown back to them in difficult Times. I would still be saying thank you to all of them who have shown their back to the covid warriors in difficult time giving them a lot of strength and courage to identify the real you.
Today in this blog and would not ask to be more empathetic or sympathetic towards anyone because this is not something which can be taught it is something which comes within being a human. Lastly we are going to suffer all this for almost for next two years as per the WHO guidelines. So may God give all of us the strength and the spirit to fight with our own mind and the people around as medicines would be enough to take care of the virus.
