   The significant quote of Pericles “Time is the wisest counselor of all” is quite applicable to the present pandemic situation which has been created by Novel Coronavirus. Time is inestimable and fathomless. Nothing to worry about, just control your time, everything will be okay. Have we ever thought that how much time we have squandered? It is ok to say that I work, but how many hours I spend and how do I manage the time that is important. I would like to share the importance of time as I have experienced during this pandemic situation.


   Time has the power to build you up at the same time it can destroy you if you are not able to

value it. Indian Government had to observe lockdown to face the critical condition of

COVID 19 then I was quite happy that I got the vacation accidentally to enjoy. After spending

four to five days of holidays, I started watching Mahabharata and Ramayana and realized

the value of Time and Hard work in life through the characters and story of these Epics.

Thus, I started analyzing seriously my strengths and weaknesses all alone pondering

and talking with myself in my free time. I know that I am a student of the English language and

Literature and I like journalism also so I realized that there is a great need of mastering over English language which will definitely open all vistas in my career. Thus, I decided to be master it by utilizing this lockdown time. Then a question arose how to act in the

direction of making my English fluent? Friends here I got wonderful help from social

media as there are many videos on YouTube and on various websites. Thanks, Google to help me in process of my language improvement as I was guided by my teachers and parents to do something constructive task.


   I know such golden moments of time will never occur again in my life span so my parents advised me to read something related to life and you know well that to understand life the excellent book is The Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta. The most precious and authentic document on Time. I tried to learn, relearn and digest the explanation of shlokas in The Geeta that changed my perceptions towards a life with a positive attitude. I think The Geeta is a wonderful book on soft skills and a road map for the betterment of humanity.


   Being a native of Porbandar, I thought I must know something about the great human being i.e., Mahatma Gandhi, and my father gave me My Experiments with Truth. This is really a wonderful book on Karma yoga. I realized the fact that the world still needs Gandhian way of Life to progress. While reading Gandhi’s autobiography I remembered Hemmingway’s quote in The Old Man and The Sea, “Man cannot defeat, he can be destroyed but not defeated”.


   After reading all these, I felt that Time is the most precious thing in life. If we are not able to consider the moment given by the time then we will have to repent like anything. As Shri Aurobindo rightly says, “Time travel is not done by a machine, but by an act of consciousness”. It is absolutely right because if we miss a single moment then nothing remains. It is my request friends that utilize whatever moment you are given by the Time.

The moment can be anything, for example, this lockdown has given us time to be with our family than enjoy as much as we can. It has provided us an opportunity to think differently than we must think in different ways to develop our personality. Time has proved through a micro virus that the existence of human beings is meaningless. Thus, I think we must redefine the meaning of life as said by all religious scriptures.


   Once Benjamin Franklin said, “Lost time is never found again” and these words are quite applicable to me also because I estimated the real value of time in my life and I have become alert now onwards how to utilize each moment of Time for the betterment of self and upliftment of others. I would like to say that these lockdown moments have activated in me to perceive things from multiple points of view. It is because of Time only. So, friends, my time is not wasted but invested as I have learned so many truths of life through the help of Time.

Thank you,

Time.
