Ray of Hope

 

Ray of Hope

 As the planet is currently engulfed by the Wuhan virus, majority of the activities have come to a stand-still, and some of the industries have transformed their work culture. As an individual whether one is affected or not with the situation, one must take the stand-still as an opportunity and not as a setback.

The below image clearly depicts the current situation the world’s population is currently experiencing.

Until the fag end of CE 2019, activities around us were executed as planned, just like the bright sun shining in the sky in the image-bearing as a torchlight for our routine. Then the lab-originated virus struck the globe, which appeared as dark clouds to many while they lost path in their life. However, one’s determination must be exactly like the hawk in the sky who finds a prospect to fly above the dark clouds. An opportunist’s current situation is depicted aptly in this picture; they see the dark clouds as a chance to soar higher by taking complete advantage of the situation. The dark clouds should be used as a springboard to ascend in the path of career. An individual can adapt to new skills depending on their interest, hobbies, and curiosity. This could be a “down-time” for most of us, but it is to be utilized in an effective way by ensuring the required skills are adapted for upgrading ourselves professionally or personally.

Gone is the era, when our ancestors faced the pandemic, they may not have had the right resources to upskill themselves back then. However, these days, when we have the entire globe’s information at the tip of our fingertips, we can sign up for various Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). These online certification courses can not only enhance our skills but also prepare us for a better career prospect when the globe is back in action.

Many of us did utilize the interruption in various ways like watching countless movies, web series on various OTT platforms, but activities do not halt there, life went on as many people adopted the change in a positive manner and upskilled variedly from learning Yoga – the Vedic way to learning the latest technology. In the conclusion, the surroundings are still favorable to enhance skills and achieve the desired goal thus giving us a ‘Ray of Hope’.

    Very inspirational write-up Amit. You are fearless in your writings. You put your heart and soul in your writings. So glad to see youngsters like you spreading the 'never give up' message. It's like a wake up call to the undetermined. Keep up the positive energy.
    Your call for finding 'a Ray of Hope' promotes the idea 'Every cloud has a silver lining'.
    Keep inspiring.

A long cherished Dream

Graduation Day is the day that I had dreamt about. I personally never thought I would ever graduate, but here I am. Every single one of us worked so hard to get here. I never thought I would be up here on this day, but dreams do come true. As nervous as I was standing behind the podium, I was also joyful and proud to share my experience with you all. About five years ago in a boutique, I happened to meet my school teacher who is now currently the Principal of Sindhi High School, Hebbal branch – Mrs. Maitreyi Satyadev Ma’am. As we reminisced our good old days, she motivated and encouraged me to take up a graduate program in a field of my choice. I was relatively settled in my career then, with a permanent job in the World's Best Bank’ and 'Best Place to Work' - HSBC with a handsome package.  However, as days passed by, my teacher’s meeting that day had given me a lot of food for thought; that meeting was lingering me by giving me sleepless nights about whether I want to

The controversial Plastic Card (Part 01)

  As soon as some people hear the word ‘Credit Card’, they end up projecting the user as ‘Spendthrift’, ‘Financially Undisciplined’, ‘Payment Defaulter’ and so on. However, for a person who knows the basic guidelines of a credit card’s usage, they would be proudly using it. A credit card is a two-edged sword and must be used prudently. For the population who think a credit card is a debt trap, must be clear, using it in the right manner the user can not only be solvent but also rewarded. What is this Credit Card? A credit card is a type of lending provided by a bank or a similar financial institution to its customers as a reserve for their day-to-day expenses termed as ‘Credit Card Limit’. This reserve is fixed depending on several criteria. The credit card can always come within reach when a person is temporarily financially broke. Some card users think the credit limit is their own money, but on the contrary, it is the bank’s money that is used by the cardholder as it is a lend

A lake connected with a narrow stream

Do you see a narrow stream or a huge lake ahead of you? Sure enough both. Didn't you? This image clearly picturizes both the aspects of life.  Its pretty common for a person to go through narrow streams in life where one may not find much space to lounge around happily. The reasons might vary from individual to individual and from one situation to another circumstance. One may face a relationship breakdown and another might be facing financial crisis whereas the third may be facing a shattered career. But this certainly doesn't mean that one should give up one's life mid-way suffocating their breath through various means. One must try to accommodate themselves to the situation or circumstance and try squeezing through this passage.  However, there would certainly be a positive reflection (the way reflection is falling on the lake) on our life awaiting for us with open arms. With a little push from our end, a gentle pull by our well wishers with a little amou
