Coming Out Of Quarantine - Atri Das (Psychology Major Student)

-

Feeling stuck at this moment is as normal as not having a sleep schedule. This global pandemic successfully altered our very existence and made us reflect limpidly on ourselves. But what happens when it all ends? When the roads are rammed again? When the pandemic of materialism and jealousy are born again? Imagining the ‘normal’ sounds hair-raising as well as salubrious. Amongst this mayhem using spatial intelligence to form mental images which are both jocular and exuberant is a perfect way to cope. When all this ends instead of getting confused and disoriented by change,
Here are the things you can do once this global pandemic ends -

1. CONTINUE TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE WHO CARED DURING LOCK DOWN

Show your love and gratitude towards the people who cared to check back on you during the hard days! Filter relationships which are not worth it! Remember 'a friend in need is a friend indeed!



 2. VENTURE OUT BUT WITH CAUTION FOR SOME MORE TIME


Yes, hit that pub, grab some coffee or just quench your craving for spicy Chinese food with your mates. Reunite with your lovers and feel the romance! Have a get together with your relatives with some food and wine, and above all, be there, be present physically and make people feel safe and uplifted with your presence. Moving to intangible concepts, feel the wind, the sunlight, the moonlight and thank nature for just being present and accessible.

3. “THE ONLY PLACE SUCCESS COMES BEFORE WORK IS THE DICTIONARY”
(VIDAL SASSOON ) -


Hence quite evidently buckle up yourselves and put your heart and soul to it. A fresh start calls for twice the determination and hard work to reify your dreams. Complete the assignments, check the targets or even begin the long overdue project you had your eyes on. Make the optimum utilisation of resources which nests in you and take a step more to be productive.

4. DO NOT DISCONNECT WITH YOUR HOBBY
When a habit begins to cost money, its called a hobby. Do not withdraw yourself from doing or practising your hobby or passion just because you can rationalise it by the phrase “not having the time”. Withdrawing may lead to disconnection from yourself and you’re back to square one. Hence never sacrifice spending time with yourself among the process of progress. Remember, progress should be both overt and covert.



and lastly,

5. BE A MORE KIND AND ACTUALISED HUMAN -
As Dalai Lama said “Compassion is the radicalism of our time” , try affecting the fundamental nature of today’s plastic humanity by individual actualisation. Remember every drop matters just like you and your contribution towards humanity does. Try suppressing obnoxious emotions towards other people and be the mellowest version of yourself. Existing beyond the physical level is called transcendence and having peak experiences of transcendence is what Maslow emphasised.



Till then spend your quarantine fruitfully and productively with doing what you love and loving people near you as much as possible!

Simple Ways to Handle COVID-19 Pandemic Outbreak Related Stress! - Hema Chakravarti

-

We are social beings --- the need to belong, to be accepted, loved and respected is so important for us. However the current situation demands that we isolate ourselves and remain confined in our homes with our families and connect to the outer world through audio / visual media. Thank god for technology but it can get impersonal too. We miss meeting the people we relax and enjoy with. Our chats over coffee, watching movies together, our walks and even going to work. We miss our routine what we have so long been accustomed to.  I would like to share some simple ways to handle this phase: Firstly we need to keep reminding ourselves that this is a temporary period, a passing phase . Very soon we will get back to our routine and look back at this period in terms of lessons learnt, possibly the patience that we have developed which was earlier not there and the challenges we faced that might have changed us forever. Also aren’t we the blessed ones as there are so ma...

Ways To Inculcate Values In Children To Make Them More Resilient- A Point-Wise Guideline For Adults By Shampa Chowdhury

                                    1. First and foremost let's understand that there is no 'one formula' for instilling values in children . 2. The roots begin in the family but not everyone is blessed with that kind of a family and there are pathological families too. 3. Still those who are blessed can spread that blessing further by sharing their learning and experiences. 4. So when it comes to adults, it's very important to ascertain that the caregiver is high on E.Q., S.Q. and A.Q.  as most children learn by observing. 5. If we are trying to teach our children to be courageous, strong, confident and independent, we need to nurture them so that they can become so. 6. Praise is a vitamin for this . 7. So is the vitamin 'No'. Children must realise that they cannot have everything they want and as soon as they want it. 8. However we need to p...

                                             The rapid growth and changes in the sciences, arts, industrial and technological sectors has left the modern student and their parents baffled and apprehensive about the direction to choose , sometimes as early as wards aged 15/16 year old.
