Nothing for granted in life - Post Corona - Important lesson

These days , every body and every industry veteran is talking about , this is what is going to happen , post corona , this is how business will change and this is how things will change .

We need to understand following points to understand how far fetched is our thought process.


 People are suggesting changes , because they do not see any hope , only hope which exist is in vaccine .

Now what may happen once vaccine is out in the market , whether we will still talk about social distancing ? whether we will still care about hygiene... Come on , give me a break .

We all have short term memories and short term stories to sell.. May be 2 years from now when corona will become one like other disease , people will forget all that they are talking right now.

We all are very good in forgetting things , had it been not we could have taken care more of environment  and nature but we hardly think about  that in our day to day life. Point is very simple .. we all have tendency to forget and move on .. but we must always remember that whatever science and technology advancement we are talking about , some times disease or virus can bring everything to an halt. we were all very confident .. oh no way it is not going to happen that world will be closed for so many days just because of a virus .. but now this has happened and one important lesson which we should learn is not to take any thing for granted .. taking any thing for granted is the biggest mistake which we can do .

If we can take only one important lesson in life .. that do not take any thing for granted .. i think half of the problem will be solved..

Corona teaches important lesson " Nothing for Granted in Life  "


3 Ways to Live longer : Important content of life


3 Ways to Live longer : Important content of life

Each one of us these days are worried about our future , Covid -19 has shook up thought process of life and happiness which we use to take for granted . Unfortunately now people are worried for every small thing .
” When you see your future bleak you stop living in present” – Dr Ankush Sharma
We started visualizing things in such a way that everything has come to an end . Crisis is the time when you really learn the integrity and character of individual or group . This is the time where you need to remember three things which is always important and remain important. Let me tell a story before I deep dive into 3 important pointers.
One of my friend who has started a retail outlet recently on lease basis and predicted break even in few hours looking into the market potential . Suddenly corona crisis attacked and social distancing became a new norm , because of which his fundamentals of business and business model is taken aback . He landed up in severe depression and one of the important reason is he started seeing his future bleak , having said that situation is really bad for him , unfortunately entered into the business at wrong time , destined .. may be .. But if he start worrying too much .. what he is going to achieve . easy to say but difficult to execute. Three basic fundamentals which can help anyone to live life more peaceful and it is an important attention seeking content .
1) Eat well and Eat right – Lot of people , in there day to day life doesn’t focus much on their eating habits . Eating habits and eating healthy is important . There are lot of plans . lot of diet plan which tells you about your eating habits . I have completed few half marathons and maintain fitness regime and always believe that eating right and eating what is good for your body always helps.
2) Exercise – “ if you cant give 1 hour to your body in your entire day, you should not talk about time management”  . Exercise of any form , may be running , yoga, aerobics or just simple walk will help you to remain happy . Fitness or exercise is more to make you feel good about yourself . it helps you to manage strong positive vibes and build confidence in your day to day life.
3) Empathy with yourself  I have seen lot of people , don’t empathize with themselves and keep troubling them with lot of stress. Stress if not avoidable can definitely be manage . Stress is never going to help you and most of us overthinks in our day to day life and in the hindsight when we evaluate those overthinking thoughts it has never helped us in any positive way . do they ? think about it .
Above mentioned points are important to live happy and life full of consciousness , which is indeed the need of the hour . Post corona scenario it is surely going to make us all worth thinking about it . Eat right , exercise and empathy and managing stress .

Online Vs Offline Teaching

Online Vs Offline teaching 
 Paradigm shift , which we are observing in training and teaching is with respect to given circumstances of Covid 19 , online mode of teaching is gaining wider acceptance , and with that there is always a discussion which has surfaced is which is better " online vs offline " . 

After completing few reputed online courses in recent times and as an educator for a longer time , I wish to submit following submission for kind consideration In cricket there was an upsurge of T 20 cricket and faster format of cricket and people have same discussion there , which one is better than other T20 or 50-50 over , what we saw that both stayed with their own target market . T 20 is in the business from last 13 -14 years but still 50 overs has its own audience , having said that it is also true that fast format of cricket had also created some dent in 50 over market or audience . 

There are good number of cricketers who have adopted their bowling and batting patterns according to the format of the game . In the same way in the long run online and offline education is going to stay but like cricketers both for educators and learners , they need to adopt themselves according to the situation .
