Spring heralds the new year, today. Yes, it also marks the beginning of a total lock down for the next 21 days. This is not how we wanted to welcome a new beginning but that’s how the situation is right now. It’s not good but it could be worse. And we have to put all our might together to contain it.

So, take this New Year as a 21 day challenge. Do what you promised yourself you would if you had the time, albeit from the confines of your home. Adversity is the time for creativity. Be an example for your children, and emerge stronger on the other side.

Happy Ugadi and Gudi Padwa, folks! We are wishing the best for all of us. Stay strong, keep the faith and be safe.
