We became caring towards family & society!

- RAJESH FANDA (From Lucknow now in Gurugram)

The sudden lockdown clamped by the government to control the deadly coronaviru­s came with distress and shock but was a very important and prompt step taken at that point of time.

On the work front everything came to a halt but this time brought us close to my family. The much need time they been seeking from us happened with default. It was then I realised what was I missing and how much this balancing act was necessary. Now, even after the postpandem­ic period, this is one thing I will wish to continue and carry forward.

After the initial days, when we saw suffering of the common man, my commitment towards society came in the forefront. I have always remained inclined to help the super senior people and underprivi­leged people with their cataract surgeries by creating the fund with the help of likeminded people around.

Further, I saw this opportunit­y to do more for the society. I provided some maths and reasoning books to senior. Mother had been diagnosed with partial Alzheimer and that has made realize that much important it is to engage elder people mentally specially when are ignored by their blood relations.

During the pandemic, I guided and helped migrants to reach their native towns, again with the help of like-minded team, which gave me the satisfacti­on which is manifold higher than any corporate achievemen­t. Some of the domestic helps, which were stranded in Lucknow, were helped in reaching their native place. We als provided medical treatment to some people.

This era has made me realized the real understand­ing for happiness. I think I have got a mission now. I have taken some high-end skilling courses to coach corporates and individual­s. I will like to take his beyond them so that I can help society as a coach. And, that has been the biggest realisatio­n during this pandemic.
