THINK POSITIVE
“The Chinese had gone through the hell and we learned a lot from
those systems they put in place”, the President said. The quarantine
protocols we follow and the reduced appearances of new cases in China is a
beacon of hope in this otherwise precarious situation. If you get out of the
fear of corona (I am in no way downplaying the potential damage this virus
could do), you will also see inspiring stories and opportunities. I did:
1.
I was not able to post anything in the Facebook or here for some time; Here I am, taking to you all…haha
2.
It is inspiring to see governments,
pharmaceutical companies, testing service companies and non-profits come
together to fight our common threat.
3.
“It’s the time for us to support and protect our
community and our elderly”, we all say. I haven’t heard such a statement in
long time. It’s important we wash our hands to protect us. By doing so, we
protect others. We develop “herd immunity”
4.
When we saw footages of empty shelves in stores;
and fighting for toilet paper rolls (why all the rush for toilet papers, I
still don’t get it!), we decided the stay back home and utilize all the things
in our freezer; and bit creative in what we cook.
5.
I had my yoga class in Oakbrook LA Fitness this
morning. I was surprised to see 32 men and women in the studio. I took the
opportunity to deliver a class on how yoga poses and breathing could improve
and boost our innate immunity. I was able to walk participants through steps
into headstand, which, normally, I would
not in a crowded class. Head stand is the King of asanas for immunity.
6.
“SAVED movie premiere has to be postponed”, I
say sadly; “Good, you got some time to clean up few dubbed tracks”, Bindhu
Said.
7.
I was pleasantly surprised by the gym
etiquettes: everybody cleaning equipment before and after their work out.
8.
You may not be able to visit your parents and
grandparents and social in traditional ways. But you can be “soul-cial”. Invest
your soul into all relationships: Call, talk (over the phone), keep them in
your thoughts and let them know that.
Follow everything you do to keep yourself, your family and
the community safe; drink plenty of water, orange juice, stay active and take
enough rest. THIS STORM TOO WILL PASS, till then I will see you all here often
