So, this was quite irregular, despite having time to forcefully chill at home. Its difficult for someone, for anyone who has been following a regular routine to chill. Or maybe, I think its the force that's playing with the sanity. Had you chosen to chill, you'd just chill. But the current situation is such that any chilling beyond your home, might lead to consequences that are, well, chilly. (Sorry, I had to).
I am trying hard to refrain from posting about CoViD, from the impossibly ridiculous measures the world leaders are trying to take, from big failures of (big) governments in handling pandemics even after cutting some slack over letting them trying to grapple with it. It gets extremely annoying at times, that I end up not doing anything apart from brooding over it some days. But what can one do. The system is such. Deep rooted in a lot of unwanted things that its almost impossible to rid off of. But again, that might just be another failed acceptance of things. Sad, but true.
While we are all being made to sit at home and we are trying quite hard to retain our mental stability, we are turning our attention to social media, our only source of any human interaction apart from family members. Then there is also a conquest of completing all available series and movies on streaming services. Bless the internet, and the people who have been working to make sure our bandwidth isn't compromised.
I saw the newer version of Mahabharat that was telecast on Star Plus, some 6 - 7 years back. While I instantly became a fan of many characters, there was also a lot of gyan to take away from it. The character Karn is shown as someone who's oppressed about the recognition he gets and is hell bent on disproving it to the world. He is told time and again, that its a futile exercise. Well, nothing new to add on here. But its these simple things that make you sit up and ponder.
The knowledge you acquire to improve yourself and perhaps use it as a tool to help others out of their ignorance (not necessarily in archery, in life too) will definitely come to your aid, sooner than later. But the route might be a little less arduous if its taken up as a challenge. Of course, there is also a challenge to disprove the world which aids in accelerating the whole knowledge acquiring process. Something that pushes you. But one needs to be weary of what it is pushing you toward. Is it a fad for like 30 days that you are doing to kill time? Is it something you are doing to make sure no one else does it? Or is it something you've challenged yourself to do? The third iteration is the most beneficial one, clearly. When something is forced or you are challenged by an external force to do something, initially, though it might seem exciting, it really doesn't do much to help you improve yourself. And it might be really difficult, impossible even, to find people who wouldn't like to improve themselves. While on this journey to be a better version of you than yesterday, you start concentrating on the task itself rather than the outcome. Which is the abolition of recognition. The minute you recognise yourself, the other recognitions fade pale in comparison.
