We don’t know whether we’ll ever go back to normal again but; one thing that it is certain is ‘change’. Things have changed across all sectors and the world has already started to embrace the new normal. It is very unlikely that we will get back to the normal old days; our schools, colleges and workplaces have changed and so have the skills in demand. Amidst this pandemic, young adults and teenagers need to know about the skills that are in demand and that they need to develop during the pandemic and be ready for post-pandemic life.

Social Distancing from Social Media! Is it even possible?

August 7, 2020 / Dinesh Ajay / Comment off

The Covid-19 Pandemic has made all of us aware of what is social distancing. In a couple of months’ time each one of us are, at least 6 feet away from our family members, our BFFs, that 2am friend and name whoever you want. But social distancing from social media? Is it even possible? FOMO is real so is our love for TikTok and whoever can even remember a life before Instagram or Facebook! Then one fine morning it struck us, real hard! When the Indian government banned 57, yes you heard it right, not 10, not 20 but 57 mobile applications in India! And, suddenly our virtual worlds came crashing down. First of all, the physical distancing and then that. It is a well-known fact that ever since lockdown social media has seen a rapid growth of virtual presence. According to a report published by the Financial Express the average time spent by users on Facebook was 41.4 minutes in comparison to 66.9 minutes during lockdown ever since March 29th. The average time being spent on TikTok went up from 39.5 minutes to 56.9 minutes, and on Instagram, from 21.8 minutes to 35.4 minutes. Let us all agree that our virtual media presence increased as a compensation to the physical distancing we suddenly faced. Ever since the first phase of lockdown social media has been instrumental in keeping our contacts alive. A simple cake baking video would make us want to try it at home. Physical exercises became popular only because of the urge to upload it online. Comments and likes made lockdown easier to handle. But have we ever given it a thought, what if there was no social media at all to ease our lockdown days? Seems impossible and crazy? Well, let us try imagining something like this. Let us see if we can survive at all without social media. Although many of us would agree that this is the ‘new normal.’ However, we should at least try to think of an alternative that will be handy if tomorrow the virtual world vanishes! So, here are few tips that you can implement to see if you still can survive if ever there is a virtual media pandemic: Schedule your Mobile/Laptop time– Remember, when you would put an alarm for waking up so that you do not miss your college bus, or you are right on time or class? Well we all were part of a schedule or a routine that made our life easier. So, try making a similar schedule for your presence on the virtual world, making sure that you turn off your apps once your time for the day lapses. Find a new hobby– We agree that during lockdown many of us tried new activities inspired by social media posts by our friends, family members or any random influencer that you may follow. But once done it’s important to get over that hangover! It is time you do not end up acquiring a hobby just for the sake of show-off on the virtual platform. Click pictures, do yoga, cook delicacies, dance your heart out but avoid posting them online. In that way soon you will develop a hobby that will be long-term! Spend time with the people around you, sans the mobile phone– seems impossible again? Most of you are living with your parents during this lockdown. Try having a daily conversation with your parents at least for an hour where your mobile phone will not be with you! You might initially get distracted or feel something is missing, not being able to concentrate on the conversation. But practise makes one perfect! You will see that you have been missing a chunk of your life because of the mobile. Prefer alternatives for social media urge: That urge to go online, check out the latest post, hit a like and comment can be put under control only if you find another serious activity to do. List out things that you like doing. Then sort out the ones possible without social media. Even if you find one such thing, start meditating on that. Very soon you might feel that your virtual presence was your ‘want’ and not exactly the ‘need.’ On this note may be its time we understand that our survival is not complimented by our social media presence. There was a world just sometime back when we survived without the urgency to go online and all of us are capable to doing it again! Social media of course, is a boon. It connects us with the worldwide, but one should be careful not to let it rule your life. So yes, social distancing from social media is a thing! It is possible and is highly recommended.

How Should You Take Care of Your Mental Health Amidst COVID-19

July 4, 2020 / Dinesh Ajay / Comment off

HOW TO COPE UP WITH YOUR MIND AMIDST COVID-19 Lockdown – a word which was obscure before December 2019 has now become the talk of town with endless versions. This is of course because of the “Corona” breakout aka “COVID” pandemic. But enough of the virus, let’s talk about human’s mental health during COVID-19. It is definitely a need of the hour irrespective of time. Ever since the virus started spreading to different parts of our country, various restrictions were implemented starting with “Complete Lockdown”. This resulted in shutting down of IT firms, educational institutions, travel or any organisation with more than 10 people. Apart from essentials, every single utility was closed and because of this, few started working from home, few lost their jobs, few had to close their only business which was a sole purpose of their bread and butter, the list goes endlessly. All of this had a huge impact in all the three sectors – primary, secondary, tertiary and none of us could go do a thing about it. From being “strive and succeed”, it turned upside down to “survive and strive”. Honestly, nobody expected this revolution within such a short span of time. Almost 90% of people are now staying at home either with a job or without a job or waiting for their exam results. The cycle of growth is now stuck in between and struggling to move forward. The current generation is stressed about sustaining their jobs and getting a job. The next generation is stressed about what’s next? When will we write the boards? When will I step into college life? But the real question here is, why is this a huge issue? The answer is simple: Imagine a bird which has been flying freely around the world. Now, due to circumstances it is put in a cage for more than 100 days without knowing the day of freedom. This is our exact situation right now. One might ask, you are told to stay inside your house. Isn’t it wonderful? Initially it can be. But later? After 100 days of staying at home? As a matter of fact, we are stressed like anything but there are some life transitioning and life transforming solutions for this. 1. Develop a routine/habit Being at home is always a blissful feeling because it is that time you can develop various habits. Set right your sleep cycle. Early to bed, early to rise. eat well, get 30mins of early morning sunlight, drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Make this a daily habit as this is the time you can literally eat, sleep, maybe work and you won’t be questioned for doing that. Jokes apart, developing this basic routine will definitely change the way you see the world or even yourself. 2. Stay fit During lockdown, chances are high that your bed becomes your closest friend, so close that you don’t leave it until it’s pee pee time or poo poo time. Before lockdown we hardly went to gym despite paying fees, made new year resolutions on fitness etc etc. Only few caught hold of it and went to being fit. Fitness is an emotion many of us don’t prefer using. It keeps our bones and muscles, strong and flexible. Staying fit doesn’t mean you have to lift weights. You may practice Yoga too. These practices keep you physically as well as mentally strong. Get expert advices or you always have google (the right way). Start shredding some sweat. Know your inner self. 3. Bond with your family Gone are those times where you spend quality time with your family during weekends or during vacation. It is now you and your family inside a house 24/100*. This is the time you should bond with them. Talk to your parent(s) individually and together, find out what’s running in their mind. Talk your heart out, understand their necessities and expectations and vice versa. Love, affection and care doesn’t have limitations per say so learn the things you have always admired to learn from them. Make it a two way communication, guide them instead belittling them if they go wrong. Correct yourself if you are wrong. Be with them instead of just being in your own world. In this way, you will learn to understand them rather than being understood alone. 4. Study courses There are tons and tons of courses online which you could take up for free. Explore yourself if you are figuring out as to what you can do with life. Explore different fields and gain more knowledge because any knowledge is good knowledge. Example: coursera, google digital marketing, online theatre classes. 5. Write/Speak Many of us don’t prefer writing down our thoughts and it is not that wrong an issue. We have this taboo of bottling down our thoughts until it bursts out on its own. HELL NO! Writing down your thoughts or talking to someone you know and trust helps you free your mind. It can be as simple as writing a rhyme that comes in your mind or singing a song that’s stuck in your mind for a long time. Start with basic writing, do this continuously and you yourself will see some change in yourself. If writing is not your cup of tea, speak. Speak with people you know and trust, speak your heart out. The more you speak the more you get relieved. Lockdown has got us stressed but it is not the end. It is the beginning towards a better self. It is pretty natural for your mind to go crazy during these tough times but stay put. Follow a regime. Push yourself from being a couch potato and figure out a new you, version 2.0 maybe! This is the time you can use to utilise who you actually are. Stay calm. Believe in yourself. Reach out to people. Stay healthy and most importantly STAY HOME! STAY SAFE!

Child & Parent during Before College Life

June 30, 2020 / Dinesh Ajay / Comment off

WHAT SHOULD BE THE MINDSET OF A STUDENT BEFORE ENTERING COLLEGE LIFE AND HOW SHOULD PARENTS TREAT/HANDLE THEIR CHILDREN DURING THIS STAGE? A child who is getting into a college from school is at the peak of his adolescence. An adolescent has the characteristics of both an adult and a child. They are in a period of transition from a child to an adult. Physically they are an adult and mentally still they have the residue of a child. The first time this combination of adult and a child is going to face the society for the first time. Till then they were under a very protected environment provided by the parent and the school. A college is a place where they will be treated as adults. From learning to making friends they have to do it on their own. The deadly combination of a child and an adult plays a major role in this. When they enter into college life they might feel lonely if they are in a new environment and excited if they are continuing their old friendship. In the first case, to protect themselves from the loneliness they may go for friendship randomly. They won’t be aware of their level of frequency with them. There is a possibility that they may get succumbed to pressure to maintain their friendship. In the second case with their old friends in a new place will be excited that they may try to explore new things. Risk-taking behaviour will be predominant during this phase of life. Speaking about the approach by Parents: You need to understand that your son/daughter is not a child anymore. This is the first chance they are getting to have their choices, take decisions and to be free. There are chances that they may take the wrong decisions. They may not be willing to share things with you. They will like to have secrets. They will believe that they are adults and they are right, at the same time the child in them will confuse them about their decisions. They will need your help but they will hesitate to ask you. They will have a secret love for you but the external behaviour will be different, like they may express too much anger and argue with you. Sometimes they may verbally offend you. To understand them may be a bit difficult, but they require parental support until they grow up into a full adult, which they will attain only after the age of 20. During this phase parental support should not be given directly, they don’t like to be treated like a child. They will expect you to treat them like adults. In short, they will expect you to be friendly with them. But remember they want the parents to be friendly, not as friends. Most of the parents make the mistake of being their friends, where they will not get a chance to correct them if they go deviant. About education, this is a period where their intellectual capacity will be at the peak. They will be able to grasp abstract concepts easily. But since they are undergoing a stressful period till class 12, in the first year of college their perspective towards academics will be less towards scoring. And if the parents are going to put pressure on scoring, there is a possibility that they may rebel as they are with a mixed group of friends and no personal attention from the teachers. In such a situation parents should mellow down and tell them that this is the time for their enjoyment of their college life but at the same time they should set a standard of scoring concerning academics. If the parents could control their anxiety and go along with their children in a friendly manner, they will feel supported. To Summarise, With Parents: When your child was in school they needed your support – a third-hand help to walk through their decisions. But when they enter college, their mind behaves like a swing sometimes like a child and sometimes like an adult. During this period, all you need to do is guide them when they are in need and not when you think they need you. For Students: Sometimes we are too much indulged in minor issues that we leave out on noticing the major ones. Think your college life as a former and your marks as latter because at the end of the day you are going to be treated as adults in college and you are indeed going to become one. So, why feel afraid about what’s not even there yet. Just be focused on what you are doing. Colleges and marks don’t decide your future, but your hardwork and smart work does.

Maintaining Social Distancing and Friendship

June 24, 2020 / Dinesh Ajay / Comment off

Introduction Maintaining social distancing amongst peer pressure, and friends will be one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. The best way to approach it is to have an open and frank discussion about your expectations and the expectations of others, on the need for social distancing to be enforced and maintained. How to maintain Social Distancing While we were in the worst phase of the lockdown, little crosses in tape were made at the required distances apart, in front of take- away and other food outlets. This left us in no doubt how far away from each other we had to stand, and we knew what was required of us. Many of us found this quite useful and just stood on the cross as requested. This would probably be useful for students who are used to abiding by the rules. Keep 1.5 meters away from one another where possible. Avoid physical greetings like shaking hands, hugs and kisses Do not handle cash, use a card. Try to avoid public transport Avoid crowds When you haven’t seen one another for a long time it is hard not to greet one another in the old way, but if we can get used to it we will manage to do it for a year or two, until hopefully the virus goes away. Some of these measures are here to stay. In some states we have done extremely well in containing the virus, other places have not been so fortunate and are forced to remain in lockdown. The other thing to be aware of is Clinically vulnerable people, (grandma and grandpa) who are often in fragile health, We have to stay well in order for them to stay well as we would never forgive ourselves if they caught anything from us. When your friends apply the pressure to ignore Social Distancing You can be fined for not social distancing, but it is usually not enforced, and the restrictions have been eased a bit. No more than 100 people for non essential indoor gatherings. No large outdoor gatherings. Restriction in visiting aged people comes to only close relatives. No overseas travel, except with special clearance and quarantine at either end of trip. How is Corona Virus Spread? The virus is highly infectious and spreads from person to person through close contact, coughing or sneezing through droplet infection. This is why it is a good idea to wear a mask if attending a lecture, just to be safe. Also virus can be spread from touching door nobs and surfaces which should be cleaned at least daily. There is no evidence that the Corona Virus is present in water, so keep washing your hands and keep using the hand sanitizer. If you are going to the Teller machine to withdraw money, take a disposable glove with you as the virus can linger on places that people touch all the time. Staying in Touch with Friends while Social Distancing For a while it may be safer to stay in contact with friends on Video Calls, Zoom or Skype, you can talk every day and you won’t miss a thing. This way you are totally safe and it won’t be forever, this is the ultimate in social distancing, until it is safe to meet up again. If you meet up with friends for lunch try to eat outside, as it is much harder for Covid-19 to spread outdoors in fresh air. Conclusion You will find with a bit of practice you will become really good at Social Distancing and it won’t be such an effort, but will become part of daily life even though it feels very unnatural at the moment.

Beyond Academics: What College Will Teach You?

June 6, 2020 / Dinesh Ajay / Comment off

Deciding to go to college is a difficult decision for many young people and their parents. Where should you go to college? Why should you go to college? What should you study? How can you pay for your college experience? Today, more than ever before, students are also asking whether or not attendance in a university setting is worth it. Why not just do all your coursework online? It will be less expensive and more convenient to attend college courses online. Many reasons exist, however, for physical attendance at a college or university. A college education will teach you many things beyond academics. Consider the following reasons for attending college or university: Learning to live with others is a lesson you will not learn through an online college. In today’s world, many young people have not had the experience of sharing a room with someone else. In a university setting, you often have at least one roommate. College attendance will teach you how to live with other people. Who will clean the room? How will you share the space of a dorm room or apartment? You can learn valuable coping and people skills by having roommates. You will encounter people who are not like you. Attendance at a university provides you with opportunities to meet people who are different from you. They will have different backgrounds, different economic situations. Religious and political beliefs may differ from yours. You will meet people from different countries and cultures. You will have the great advantage of expanding your understanding of the world around you through the people you meet at college. Attendance at the physical campus, instead of just online, gives you opportunities outside the classroom setting to learn from new people about their ideas and cultures. How will you react when faced with new opinions and ideas? It is very easy to adopt the ideas and belief system of people we are surrounded with. College attendance will expose you to new ideas and new beliefs. How will you react to these new ideas? Will you explore them? What if they conflict with your ideas? Can you learn something from beliefs other than yours? Will you learn to respect those whose ideas are different from yours? College is a great place to learn how to do this. Do you know how to handle responsibilities? When you leave home to attend university or college you will not have your parents to help manage your life. You have to assume responsibility for your own life. Here are a few examples of these responsibilities: Scheduling – You must learn to schedule your time and to follow your schedule. Do you have time for that party, or do you need to be studying for the exam? Your mom is not there to tell you when to study, or when to go to bed; you must learn to deal with schedules on your own. Deadlines – When is that paper due? Which day is the final exam? At what time does that assignment need to be turned in? You are responsible for keeping track and meeting all these deadlines! Laundry – Yes, you are responsible for doing your laundry. Do you know how? If you stay home and take online courses your mother can continue doing laundry for you, but at some time you need to grow up and do your wash! Bills – Have you ever had to pay bills before? Do you know what happens when you are late with a credit card payment? Going away to college often means learning to pay your bills. And pay them on time! You will also learn how to manage your own personal and moral responsibility. Going away to college requires personal and moral responsibility and accountability. Whose moral code will you choose? Do you accept responsibility for your actions? Your parents are not on-site with you to tell you how to live or how to act; what will you use as your moral compass or guide? What are your grounding principles for life? Facing these questions on your own can provide you with a great growing experience. Even though doing your college degree through online coursework may be more cost-effective, it may also deprive you of many valuable experiences and learning opportunities. The full college experience goes far beyond academic learning to encompass broadened awareness of the world around you and personal growth and development.
