I was doing Some work at home and suddenly my little cousin came to me seeking permission to go out on the terrace, I asked her why? She was very excited and said that she would like to see how it looks when everyone is at home and there is no traffic on the road. I casually replied when we were young, the population was less, vehicles were limited and every afternoon the city uses to look like this. She started taking an interest and wanted to know more about my childhood, slowly after spending the 22 days with my family I realised God has given us a magnificent opportunity to be with our family — he wants us to realise the importance of lives he has given us. He wants to make us realise that relations are more important than gadgets.
In today’s busy schedule, we have almost ruined our social life and relationships. We hardly get any time to know and listen to each other. Gone are those days when the whole family use to enjoy their food at one time on the shared table. Where every single instant of the day was discussed with the family. In today’s scenario many times we are not there when our family or our children need us. We love them, care for them but due to the lack of time, we are unable to express our feelings. We have almost stopped using phrases like “I love you”, “I care for you” and “I am always there for you”.
Today when we have time to articulate ourselves let’s forget the whole shebang of who we are and just be normal human beings.
Do everything which you have missed due to your busy schedule. Say “Love you Zindagi” and thank god for this beautiful creation called Human Beings. Stay home, stay safe, Say thanks to all the Doctors, Nurses, Bankers, workers those who are working selflessly for your safety.
