Good Riddance 2020????

 With the break of the dawn we will board a new year.This 2021 is all the more welcome because of its tedious predecessor.When one reflects on 2020,the entire piece of cake,baker and the bakery is usurped by the Wuhan born Virus,which doesnt seem to have any volition to escape yet though.To add insult to the injury,we  again have new type of strain  staring at us.

Take a bow to the frontline warriors who held the baton firmly against the vicissitudes that took toll in the lives of the mankind that exist in every nook and corner of the world. Year 2020 ,has shown us crippled economy, the scourge of the disease rendered people jobless,losses of life,loss of bread,abridged salaries and you name it.

 The treatment of the virulent invasion was beyond the ken of all  of the  medical experts ,so the prologue of the year saw the lock down being imposed on us which was a term hitherto unknown ,if not literally,but  figuratively.On retrospection, I found that this lock down helped us to unlock the doors of our mind,body and soul.Many people from various fronts voluntarily chose to come up with the better demeanour.

When everything remained engulfed in the negativity,and one had nothing more to do but to question the supreme that if this has to be  an "act of god",then can god really act so heartlessly? Can mother nature who is known for only giving obliterate her own gifts by this force??Or is it that we only erred in humanity????

I read it somewhere that destiny  has a way to make us do what we are meant to.......and can be rather harsh if need be.We all wanted to explore the external world without peeping into our own self which already has a reserve of infinite potential....what answers were we looking for when we didn't have the abilities to grapple with the questions of our own conscience...
Can the forces of nature be this cruel?? or is it that we were not prepared enough to combat the turmoil..... ,we will always be subjected to uncertainties  of varying magnitudes....what will help us is the inner strength and its abilities to neutralise the external fears...the inner self needs to be adressed....let us all strive to find the missing measure of happiness....within us within ourselves......for that is where the god resides.... In us ....With us.....Ridding ourselves with 2020 taking the hard lessons let us move lifeward.....
Wishing my readers a very happy,enlightened and illuminated new year.....

The Cue of Change in education
