COVID Diaries: An Indian Perspective

Abstract

COVID-19 has shaken up the world and these COVID times have given us an opportunity to slow down, log out, and switch off for a while and think about our real needs against greed. The ‘lockdown’ has provided us with an opportunity to pursue our hobbies and passion, to learn a new skill, to read your favourite books, watch movies which you have missed, to work-out which you missed doing due to paucity of time and to sit back and think about how to improve and make ourselves a better person. Most of us can work from home and if we are determined, we can cut down on our travel thus reducing air and water pollution in addition to a significant reduction in the number of road traffic accidents. The health crisis brought every one of us together and Corporate India shouldered its corporate social responsibility, reel heroes and cricket legends played their part well and Corona Warriors led the war against the virus with grit and determination under the able leadership of a dynamic Prime Minister.
