Survival Of The Fittest – Mr. Sudip Banerji

“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.”
                                                                                                     ― Leon C. Megginson

It all started few months back before we came to know about it from the television. Yes, I am talking about the COVID-19 pandemic. It took us sometime to get ourselves be prepared mentally as well as physically for this pandemic. The world has, for long, not witnessed something like this. No medicine, no vaccine to fight against this deadly virus…..the only weapon we have is to stay locked up inside our homes.
This prolonged lockdown has weakened us mentally and as each day goes by, the feeling of frustration and anxiety is on the rise. We want to go out and enjoy spending time with our friends but all we have with us is an unknown fear of the future creeping in our mind slowly.
Sitting and lamenting over our current situation will not help us much and we need to buckle up to come out victorious of this current situation of despair and desperation. We have to come out victorious for ourselves and for our society.

To beat the lockdown blues, here are certain things which we can do.
                                    


  • ·         First and foremost, you need to hold on to the positive outlook towards life. Remember “EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING.”
Six Daily Questions to Ask Yourself in Quarantine
Check upon yourself by asking questions!
  • ·         Try repeating positive affirmations to yourself as much as possible. Remind yourself that, “COME WHAT MAY, I WILL FACE IT AND WILL COME OUT STRONGER.”
  • ·         Try not to lament much about what’s happening around. As human beings we all feel sad about the losses that are happening worldwide. Start believing that a bright future awaits for the society once all this over.
  • ·         Limit viewing television. No need to see news 24*7. Give yourself breaks as they are much needed.
  • ·          Try meditating daily.
  • ·         Listen to music of your preference.
  • ·         Maintain a normal schedule – like 8 hours of work and then leisure time for yourself.
  • ·         Eat healthy and most importantly eat on time.
  • ·         Do whatever makes you happy in your leisure time….be it reading your favourite genre of story books or listening to your favourite genre of music or watching some old favourite movies or simply playing your favourite video game… this is important because your diet is not only what you eat but also what you read, listen to or do in your leisure time!
  • ·         Quarantine is giving you the golden opportunity to spend time with your family.
                                             6 Reasons Spending Time With Family is More Important Than You Think



SO LET’S KEEP CALM AND BEAT THE QUARANTINE BLUES!

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...

                                    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.
