June 21, Sunday 2020

International yoga day was celebrated by the NSS unit of our college headed by NSS

program officers.

The international yoga day is celebrated on June 21 annually since 2015. Yoga is a

physical, mental, spiritual practice which originated in India. It helps to maintain

healthy body as well as healthy mind which is utmost important in today's

pandemic period. Afterall being in lock down for nearly past 100 days, maintaining

our mental health has been a major issue, yoga is a best medicine for that.

We had a video meeting with our NSS secretaries and few NSS volunteers on

international yoga day. We came to learn different yoga poses. Each participant

taught various kinds of yoga poses or asanas and the procedure to do it. We started

with Surya namaskaram or sun salutation. We came to know about the benefits of

each poses and its importance. Yoga replaced our quarantine stress with peace. It

created an awareness among the students when the benefits of the poses have

been listed down This meeting added this healthy habit in everybody's daily

schedule.

Stay aware and Stay safe

22 June 2020

The sentence itself says that it is awareness of this pandemic lockdown period

The motive was to educate our surroundings by small sayings and wordings holding

placards by each volunteer for awareness to be sanitized, to be masked, to be

distanced, the hands to be gloved. The saying was to create awareness of this

covid - 19, and lockdown

This was successful with the NSS volunteers, secretaries and our program officers.

WRITERS CORNER

II-B.Sc. Psychology

Things we see,

News we hear,

The situation we are in,

Certainly, makes us idle

Makes us exhausted…

Frantic days with perplexing moods

Anguish wails deep within

An unexplained emptiness

Yet wearing a subtle smile…

Last seen of normal world is 3 months ago

But preferring much to stay within 4 walls…

We each and everyone

Are sailing in the same boat with strong will

Some being drowned while others too cosy

Yet hoping for better days in this hardship!

Let us all remain in the sea for awhile

Not to drown

But to enjoy the shore view henceforth!!!

We are diversed but still united.

LET’S REFLECT: THE CHANGE OF LIFE DURING 2020’s PANDEMIC

It was December 31, 2020. Slouched in the couch, I went back to refresh and

reflect upon the events of the year. Life was as smooth as it would ever be at the

beginning of this year but no one had the knowledge of how it would change a

person's life drastically and even the state of the humanity at large. People had

their own plans in life but God had his ultimate plan in progress.

We only had the knowledge of what we were facing but never did we realize what

our surroundings went through. The Skies roared in anguish unable to weep for

its difficulties. The Earth cracked deep down, broken, with no hope of

amendment from the Skies. The Seas raised above the level it could to console

the Earth of its sorrow and the Clouds laid scattered with no hope of a greater

union. The Trees longed for a day more to live and the Wildlife hugged them

unconditionally, bidding them goodbye for one last time. Maybe their prayers and

cries were the reason for us to get ourselves locked in our own sanctuaries so that

we could learn what life is all about and how we live to care about not only

ourselves but also about others.

Houses turned into homes. People who never met living under the same roof

arrived under the compulsion of communicating with each other. Effective

communication became mandatory at one point of time as social media became

another boring routine. They shared their life with each other finally realizing

what a family really meant. The heart reached the state of contentment accepting

and being grateful for whatever it had. People learned what healthy food is and

the food cooked by the mother finally gained the respect it should always be

given. Being healthy became a lot more necessary and people understood what

truly is important in life.

We started realizing the importance of each other in life and the importance of

our surroundings. We now had the time to focus on becoming a better person

and learn how to use the creative side of our minds. And most importantly, we

learned to live in present and never leap ahead into the future.

The cries of our environment brought nothing but good to both us as well as

them, not like ours which always paved a way to their destruction. They healed

completely as the Skies let out tears of joy amending the deep sorrows of the

Earth. The sea settled down in its place witnessing the beautiful union between

the Sky and the Earth and their care for each other. The Clouds came together,

showering love upon the Earth and the Trees rejoiced there long peaceful living.

The Wildlife, yet again, hugged them unconditionally with the contentment of a

roof above them.

Maybe this was all something meant to happen, to amend the human life and the

nature for a greater good because life is not all about "Me" and "You", it's about

"We" and "Us". This Pandemic taught us lessons we would have never had the

chance to learn and it is only in our hands to keep it alive within ourselves and

pass it on to the later generations so that we live a life where we live and let

others live peacefully and encourage each other in growth and prosperity.

EPIDEMIC TO PANDEMIC

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; The most massive characters

are searched with scars.”

COVID-19 is the most frequent word heard throughout the world. Every single

soul was aware of it.

From outdoors to indoors…

From fame to lame…

People started to self-isolate themselves. COVID-19 help us to bring back our

tradition from handshake to namaste.

From weeks to months…

People started to get used to it. Many lives have been changed. Some tend to lose

their life while others gave life to their passion.

Educational institutions, religious places, industries, public places were closed.

People started to live in four walls. Being in quarantine can stress many people

but at the same time it gives new experience. It’s good to be surrounded by our

family all the time. It made me realize that best restaurants can’t beat mother’s

cooking.

From cricket to Ludo King… It all changed after the outbreak of COVID-19. We are

only at the beginning of this crisis, but it is challenging us in ways that are

unpresented in modern times.

The only way we all can overcome is by staying in our home, wearing mask, often

sanitizing our hands and maintaining social distancing. We are in the Mid of 2020

and we have a lot to go, so stay united and keep working on your passion.

REBIRTH FROM PANDEMIC

Reprimand your fear heart when it sulks in born agony,

Eternity is not pain, if it is pain, then don’t label it as eternity.

Bury the scars with the flames of your faith, for---

It is a telltale narration of a wounded warrior.

Recovery, a journey of success, only if you---

Taint it with your path of steady steps.

Halt a second when the world seems to hustle too fast,

For nothing is wrong to take a pause.

Ruined it may seem, with all closed doors,

Open your eyes, the key is amidst your treasure of hopes.

Miracle they call it, as your wings relearn to shelter the ceaseless sky,

Polish your soul, I tell you, you are that miracle.

Amidst the canopies of darkness,

Navigate your path through your ignited flames.

Drop the façade, the bleakness is not your superior,

Endure the stones thrown your way, it is nothing when---

Mountain is what you desire to climb.

Initiate your baby steps now, you had

Ceased only to be reborn.

When it rains

When rain begins

The scent of soil starts to spread

Amongst the dry land

And in its journey,

Also manages to spread the feeling of pain

Within this dry soul.
