Covid-19 is a test for humanity. Let’s remember that in the long run, business cannot survive in a society that fails Just prior to the lockdown, I was fortunate to have moved in with my daughter and her family; and was very comfortable.
But anxiety had entered my meditation space and I was preoccupied with thoughts of the well-being of my family and myself. All along, I was aware of starving migrants and daily wage earners, who were helped by many across India.
But I had not realized the enormity of the suffering, until I heard a few stories in the Teach For India community in our very own city of Pune.
This impacted me deeply and it shook me out of my self-centredness and anxiety, and instead, I felt very grateful and privileged.
