Be the peace you seek | world peace | doodle a day

On the day when the legend Dr. Abdul Kalam expired, I was going through some of speeches he has delivered, to reminisce about that wonderful person every Indian mourned for. I remember to this day, a quote which he shared on world peace.
Where there is righteousness in the heart,
there is beauty in character.
When there is beauty in character.
there is harmony in home.
When there is harmony in home,
there is order in nation.
When there is order in nation,
there is peace in the world.
I find this very profound. I truly believe that peace of the world depends on every single individual.
It is very sad to think that even during this 21st century, racism and misogynism are prevailing. I think being less judgemental about the people you see, is one big thing which is needed for peace in life. I want to be judged based on my character, not on my gender or the color of my skin. As we voluntarily take an effort to mingle with new people who are way different from the people from our own culture, our mindset changes and we become less judgemental. I have seen this in myself.
If only we give importance to the similarities between us, rather than the differences, wouldn't world be a better place ? Isn't our life too short for all the hatred ?

Life in the time of Covid 19 - One day at a time

Image
An introvert friend misses going to parties and an extrovert experiments on how to make million types of eggs in his kitchen.  A dad uses this as an opportunity to teach his son Indian mythological stories, whereas a mom tries to cook 30 freaking burgers as dinner to keep the kids entertained. One dreads the thought of staying at her home for a day more, and another doesn't want to get out of his house forever. That girl who chooses to curl up with a good book - hot coffee and be oblivious to the world, pines for human touch - a simple hold of hands. *cough* Me !!*cough*  Life has been funny lately. I am busy as a bee because of the exams, but I have all the time in the world when it comes to observing people. There are 2 sets of people in the world right now. Those who have been horribly affected by this pandemic - illness, death of a loved one, victims of loss of job or pay cut etc... I am terribly saddened by their stories and my heart goes out for their losses.  However,
