The term lock down may be quiet new to the many people and plenty of inhabitants of India might be facing this first time in their life. The term has been coined in the modern society and is similar to social curfew. Presently all the states of India are witnessing the 21 days nation wide lock down in India.

What is Lock down In India?

Lock down is meant to create a sort of social distancing. Suppose if any pandemic brokers out or the social riots take place, it becomes the urge of the hour to keep the masses inside their houses. Sometimes even police meddles with and cardon off the place or the area. The idea is envisaged to cut off the chain of contagious disease caused by the virus or by the bacteria,and to curtail gossip mongering in the localities and thus prepare an atmosphere to nip it in the bud to a large extent.

21 Days lock down in India

The Prime Minister of India declared a nationwide lockdown on 24 March 2020, in the context of the growing Coronavirus pandemic. As it is evident that the problem caused by the Covid- 19 virus is becoming serious with the passage of time and the number of persons affected with this virus has risen up to 600 by the 26 th March. The union government and the state governments are very serious to control this virus as soon as possible. Barring few incidents the public of the country.

Even all the believers in religion and theology must keep this thing in mind that these are the tests of nature and the Almighty and we should overcome them with patience. Remember that Lord Ram led the life of 12 years of exile and hardships, why can not we spend 21 days living at home for the sake of ourselves, for our family, society, and nation as a whole.

How to use the spare time in the lock down in India?

As most of the people have never faced such a long lockdown, it is very natural that thousands of questions arise in the minds of people as what to do or how to kill the time? Some of the people have seen the curfew for few days, but not such lock down. In the lock downtime it is expectes from the side of the countrymen to remain in the houses and thus maintain social distancing and give a big jolt to the virus chain.In case some of the people do not abide by the rules and guidelines set by the government voluntarily, the local police is asked to to implement that forcefully and to keep astrict vigil to make sure no body violates it.

Now the question arise as how to use the spare time and what are the effective ways to use the lock down time . The best way in my opinion is to understand the gravity of the situation and not to create a panic May be for ashort span of time we have to suffer and feel like we are losing our liberty and rights. So we should not be strenuous and follow the routine course of life in a easy manner.

Just to keep yourself hale and hearty , you should plan for regular exercise . Most of the people are aware of the importance of the exercise and many youths go to the gyms . in the present situation you are not able to attend the gymnasium you have to find out the option of doing it at home .

Those people who do Astang yoga should do it at home rather than doing it in parks or in public places better exercise would strengthener your immune system and make you strong enough to fight against the viral attack.

Reading the newspaper and magazines

Bacon has aptly commented, “reading maketh a full man, writing an exact man “ humanity is always in pursuit of gaining knowledge of the current affairs .newspapers and magazines are the best medium to stay updated.

Most of people are in habit of reading the newspaper in the morning with tea . in the times of lockdown you can devote more time to your habit of reading the newspaper. In case you read a physical newspaper get your hands sanitized before and after reading the newspaper . you can also read the E- newspaper on your mobile or I pad .

Help your counterpart in household work

You have to evolve the habit of helping your better half in the household work. thus both of you would be able to use the time in a better way. you are advised to avoid maids during the lockdown period . this would help in social distancing.

Spend time with children

This time would give you more pleasure with sparing time with children. you can involve with them in indoor games and appraise their work and abilities.

Involve in creativity

Every human being is a storehouse of some form of creativity like painting, storytelling, writing. according to your taste, you can spare some hours in doing what you find amusing.

Children after their board exams can use this time for further courses of action. in case they want to seek admission for further courses and their competitive and entrance exams are postponed, they should not relent and chanellize their energies. for better preparations parents also have a vital role in this process of boosting up children.

Browsing the internet

This is a good time to browse the internet and enhance your knowledge . you will be updated in the latest material and international news . you can also watch movies on the T.V. or on the computer.

Days Before Christmas 2019 Made Me Lame

Dr Atul Kumar Singh Parmar — Wed, 25 Dec 2019 12:18:15 +0000

The recent scenario of agitations and skirmish over the citizenship amendment Act (CAB) brought a massive disaster across the country. As the bill was passed in both the houses and it took the form of Act series of protest broke out in different states and police had to interfere to control the mob.

Importance of Internet

These few days crippled my activities. Now i can realize the dependence on the internet Services. I am living in the city of the Taj Mahal, Agra which is one the major tourists’ destination of India. Millions of the inhabitants of the city rely on tourism directly or indirectly. Now a days all the tourism activities, lead generation, itinerary planning for Agra or Golden triangle packages are all done on the internet. I have a passion for travel blogging and catering to the needs of tourists.

Suggested Tour Packages :-

After my academics, i chose a career in tourism and pursing it since almost 22 years. In these two decades’ time, I could not even realize how am i dependent on the Internet or Google. Just a week ago while on account of the precautionary measure the Internet services were stopped, all my activities came to standstill. I felt I am missing something.

The question arouses in the mind- how to involve myself in some creative work? Even my professional activities were hampered. I have to run hither and thither so that i can found internet access just to check my emails and to respond to them. I was unable to find the net services close to me. I can imagine how much losses the country may have suffered when the banks were not operating.

People were not able to purchase e-commerce websites or order any food by Swiggy and other popular sites. The mode of payments and transactions failed. The taxi drivers owing ola or uber had no work without Internet services.

From Boat Journey to Airport Travel

Dr Atul Kumar Singh Parmar — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:46:11 +0000

This blog is based on my reminiscences from my childhood when I did my first boat trip to adolescence. I try to sketch out the drastic changes which took place in almost 4 decades in the sphere of science & technology, transport, economic standards, and social fabric. A lot has been seen and some for the betterment while others lead to degeneration. The degradation of values, human relations and spirituality and thought, as it is a vital truth that every occurrence has pros and cons.

My First Boat Trip

I would like to drag you back to the time around 40 years back when I had to travel as a child on a boat trip to my village. I hail from an area of gangetic plains amid the land of two rivers- popularly known as Doab (the land of two rivers) where the river Ganges and the Ramganga circulates the perennial life force and at times inundates the native land and inhabitants with the fury of water, thus both ways the river is worshipped by the common folk. That time we did not have the road access to my village and the only medium was to travel by the waterway.

Explore Ganges Worship in the boat trip

I recall the day when I had the first step into the frail boat along with the parents. As a child, I had some inquisitiveness mixed with the fear which I was able to overcome under the protection of my parents. When father ascended the boat I with some inhibitions paved my way to the skiff with the help of my mother.
The boat was unfurled by the keeper and the fellow travelers started chanting “Ganga Maa ki Jai” thus hailing the river Goddess.

Ganga Aarti Ceremony in the boat trip

I went to the core of the boat with the boatman and was gazing at him how hard he is struggling against the water flow while rowing the boat. Though he was lean in body but with his dauntless courage, he was steering the boat among the blue water of Ganges. I was indulging in the splashing of water that used to come sometimes or poking my small hands into the water. At the place after the couple of hours boat journey, the boat was halted for lunch where I witnessed some activities and dared to ask questions from my father which were somehow responded by him with a tinge of religion.

Pollution in the Ganges

The question provoked my mind- Why people are worshiping the river? While they are shadowing across the river by sarees the answer of my father could satisfy my child psychology that times to some extent. Now after the elapse of 40 years I realize the essence of those rituals about the Ganga worship and salute to the deeds of the government about the Ganga Action Plan such as Namami Gange. Can you imagine the first attempt of merging the city sewage system was done by the British in Allahabad and Varanasi? Thus they tried to spoil the cultural roots, not only making the water polluted but an encroachment on our culture.

The Indian masses believing “Jal hi Jeevan hai” (Water is life)
In these past years we have made a mess of the environment-The country is facing health hazards on account of scarcity of potable water, pollutants and foul gases create smog in our capital cities. This is an alarm bell and still, we are ignorant even the authorities. The government declares for a ferry ship from Delhi to Taj Mahal but imagine how it can operate in the shallow waters of Yamuna.

Old Steam Engine Train Journey

As a child in my junior classed I was introduced with the morality stories of Panchatantra and the fables of the interdependence of humanity on nature’s bounties. While I made my first rail journey 35 years ago by the steam engine, I was amazed to see the locomotive working- feeling awe and surprise.

The fear of a child’s heart to see the engine running on the rails and coming on the platform seemed to come over me, but surprisingly when I alighted the train, I found myself stunned to think how this machine is dragging this massive train. Startled I was, so could not prevent myself to put forth a question to father, a simple one-“how this engine is working”? Father simply replied- “by coal” I asked: “who made the coal”? He replied God created nature and nature has bestowed on us such amazing gifts.

Moral Values Degeneration

Now one year back when I made my journey with Vande Bharat Express from Delhi to Varanasi, just after settling my bag I had the cozy seats and started pondering over my first train journey. From steam, we came to diesel locomotives and finally to electric. But now I missed the Old whistle. While coming to the moral values the old whistle of moral values we are losing day by day with the over dose of western principles, Now the nuclear families being the norm we have moved on from the idea of joint families and miss the tales told by Grandpa’s.

I saw most of the traveler’s were strangers to themselves, just playing with their mobile phones and confined to themselves only. Being a part of the India Tourism few years back I had the privilege of being with an Austrian lady who originally hailed from US she retorted that after so many years she saw the same fake smiles on the human faces as she travelled on the Delhi to Agra Gatimaan express train she was lamenting on the India fast becoming a clone of American culture and values.

I had a newspaper before me with the news of the collective rape incident of an innocent girl and her murder, such brutal and inhuman attitude by the human creation, this land which has produced the lady figures like Apala, Ghusa, Lilavati, Sarojini Naidu and so on and so forth. Since the inception of Indian civilization, ladies have found prominence and full liberty in society and they have created miracles by propounding several theories, and philosophies. We have produced the mother figures like JiJabai who gave birth to the nationalist like Shivaji Maharaj.

The woman rights and liberty and ensuring their full protection is the social responsibility. This cannot solely be created by laws but by changing the mental block. We should teach the young ones about morality, and respect to women and nature and this can work as an emergency hammer to break the ice of perplexities.

The western philosophy of consumerism has turned the Indian lady and its body into a saleable item, This age of advertising where all the gadgets, and consumer items require a pretty-looking woman to endorse the product, this is a far cry from our original ethos where women were worshiped, no ritual was complete without the participation of the fair sex, Culture and exchange of values is certainly a two-way process as we enjoy the Mc Donald Burger and Kentuin fried chicken its imminent that the values and culture will also come along.

Trip to Airport in Delhi

My first trip to the airport a couple of years back again left me with so many questions. Just as I entered at the point of security frisking, as usual, I had to go through the security checks of bags, pockets even the water bottle I was carrying. I was asked to throw the water bottle or to drink it. I was again pestered with the question of why? Found the self-narration as an account of terrorism. I think for what we are fighting? Just for money, land, religion or ideology. The basic cause I think is the lack of intolerance respect for others and loosening fabric of peaceful cohabitation.

The theory of Global and Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (All should be happy) can create miracles I find the idea of “good fences make good neighbors” not relevant in the present scenario. In the past century the humanity fought two world wars leading into the suffering that humanity had never seen before; probably religion will be the reason for the third war.
