The Virus that changed our Life


By looking at the title you must have thought I'm going to script a documentry on how a virus ruined millions of lives. But that's not true, i'm going to talk about 'How a virus has changed or basically changing millions of lives in a much more positive and practical way'.





You must have came to know whom i was  addressing till now....................................................  if not then, it's none other than our very own "corona" virus, which is a very deadly virus for the humankind as reported worldwide (and to be honest it very true). But apart from the deadly aspect, this was the virus which helped us to knew the real meaning of our lives, our homes, our family and much more. It again reminded humankind that money, wealth, assests, finances must not be categorised as needs. It forced the people to change their definitions of needs and wants. Needs must be roti, kapda, paisa aur makaan. And wants or basically the end goal to achieve should be eternal happiness, satisfaction, self love in life. It showed that not a wealthy lifestyle but a healthy lifestyle will give you a longer and better lifespan. In the sampuran or national lockdown the virus showed us a flashback of how our mother and father lived their childhood and passed their summer vaccations in the early 80s-90s. Means the people who are now so called adults, lived their childhood again and that too with a modern twist (the 21st century twist). And it made us think that with just one generation gap, how we've evolved in everything (some are good but some are worse). Like for instance our parents played ludo, carrom, chess as indoor games in their childhood and we play PUBG, Pokemon-go, virtual ludo, need for speed etc. They used to eat gol-gappa, chaat, jhaal-muri as snacks and we eat burger, pizza, french-fries etc. They used to do something creative like hand-made craft, antakshari in their spare time and we do tic-tok, fb, insta etc. They used to watch ramayana, mahabharta and krishna-saar on their weekends and we watch doremon, game of thrones. These examples were given to show the gap of evolution between the parents and the children. My motive was not to demean and demoralise todays children, but to show the reality. 


Except for the humankind, this virus has proved to be a boon to everybody else be it flora or fauna. But to some extent it tought us great life lessons which no teacher or school can provide even if it charges millions or billions for it. Above that it also taught us how to spend #me_time and #my_time_with_family. Thanks for giving your valuable time. Please comment your views below on the topic.
