prepare a speech to be given in the morning assembly about coronavirus a disaster appered in hundred years
Answers
Answer:
On Friday morning, shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorted his countrymen to light candles and lamps as a gesture of a united fight against Covid-19, polarised reactions poured out on social media. Why is the PM focusing on a seemingly pointless ritual while he needs to be telling the nation the details of how we are fighting the pandemic, asked the sceptics. It’s extremely important to keep the morale of a nation high during trying times and this will inspire people and give them hope, countered others.
Such debates — about the merits of the decisions India has made in tackling Covid-19 — are now legion. Everything, from India’s early handling of foreign travellers and airport protocols to testing strategies, ill-equipped healthcare workers, poor handling of migrant workers and meagre support for the industry, is being debated threadbare in locked-down drawing rooms and overheated social media. It’s understandable when the nation is at war with a deadly invisible enemy — a virus. Panic-stricken citizens, confined to their home bunkers, are closely monitoring grim news flowing in from home and abroad. Infections and death counts are rising. Doctors are attacked. Healthcare staff demand masks and protective gears even as hotels and trains are converted into quarantine zones and hospitals.

Answer:
The Power of Art and Play
In this time of the lockdown, as families are forced to spend more time together and learn to be with each other again, we are beginning to see the power of art and play in engagement, healing, connection and belonging. Let’s not forget that Art and Play are helping millions of families get through each day with joy and love and the power of Art and Play in our lives is further validated. Books, Movies, Board Games, Cooking, Gardening, Music, etc are all forms of Art/Play that are helping us get through our days.
Is Essential also Valued
A lot of announcements from the government have been around assuring all of us, citizens, that essential services will continue to operate. These include departmental stores, hospitals, pharmacies, groceries, milk and other dairy products, delivery services, domestic help, basic public transport, water supply, electricity supply, garbage collection, etc. People working to provide these essential services are also at high risk of contracting the virus and yet we find them work day and night to ensure regular life is not disrupted for us. I wonder if these are the valuable, critical and essential services then why are they not given the same importance during regular life. Why are they not paid higher salaries, accorded the dignity that they deserve for the critical role they play in our lives. Isn’t there something fundamentally wrong in the way our pay and income structures are designed? Can the new normal be that we learn to value providers of essential services and provide them the income that they truly deserve?
Nature Heals
This worldwide lockdown has also been a blessing in disguise for Nature. Over the last few weeks, we have learned that Nature is resilient and has the ability to quickly heal itself. The number of people who are sharing that the air quality in our cities has improved, we can now see the bright blue sky, we can smell and feel the fresh air, we can hear the chirping of hundreds of birds and we can see the night sky with its million stars. We are learning that when we, as humans, can slow down, be still, rest for a while — nature gets an opportunity to also rest and heal. Isn’t this the most amazing realization? Imagine, if all of us work only 4-days a week and the remaining 3-days we stay at home (like a lockdown) and give that time for Nature to bloom again, to rest, to heal. Or, what if all of us work only for 11-months and then for 1-month, we all become still. We go under a self-imposed lockdown. No holidays, no vacations, no malls, no buying — just learning to be still!
I Can Heal Too
As it is with Nature healing during this time. Can we see this time as healing for ourselves too? I personally am finding this time deeply valuable. My body has been abused with extensive travel and has become an always-on anxiety-driven mode. Now, It is really enjoying this time of rest and healing for itself. I am getting a lot more restful sleep, I am waking up early and getting some quiet time to myself. I am cooking healthy breakfast and meals for myself and my family. I am reading books. Calling family and friends that I haven’t called in years. Watching movies and catching my afternoon sleep without feeling guilty. I am beginning to understand and value life — To Be, To Live. I am learning to express deep gratitude for having a beautiful home, food on my plate, family and friends to share my life with and my healthy body that has endured all the abuse I have subjected to it over the years. This time of stillness and slowing down has also helped me manage my depression, my anxiety and my palpitations. I know and understand I speak here from a deeply privileged place. I hope if the new normal, as we come out of this period, can be that each of us learn to value this for ourselves and for everyone else, irrespective of backgrounds of class, creed, caste, religion, etc. Nature is teaching us to slow down and be still. Are we ready to accept this as the new normal in our world which will help each of us heal and also help nature heal?
