Self-quarantine and stay-at-home are the great superimposed time period for intra and interpersonal communication




Ahmedabad, March 31, 2020: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that people should utilize the COVID-19 lockdown period to connect with themselves, their family and also with their passion. "This time of crisis will not only give you an opportunity to connect with yourself but will also be able to connect with your passion. "You will also get an opportunity to connect with your friends and family members," PM Modi said addressing the 63rd edition of Mann Ki Baat program on All India Radio (AIR).

“I saw on social media, that many people took out their musical instruments like tabla and veena that were lying unused for years and started practicing on them. You too can do that," the Prime Minister said. 

Spiritual guru like Sri Sri Ravishankar doing live meditation every day to all of us at 12.pm noon and 7: 30.pm evening and making us communicative with our soul. Likewise, many other Yoga trainers, motivational guru (speaker), business and brand consultant, occupational therapist, psychologist are doing live sessions so that people can feel self-engaged rather than thinking about any other aspects of life. This is the best example where Intra and interpersonal communication is taking a new wave using digital tools and techniques. 

Yes, we need to connect with ourselves, it is real ideal time to think how good, better and best can be done to contribute ourselves for self and selfless development which helps to make our country great again. This 14-days self-quarantine and 21-days lockdown period giving another momentous opportunity for us to do a deep introspection to find ourselves that somehow we were lost in this hectic materialistic life and in economy Jungle. where we are? what are we doing? so many questions are being arisen in our mind to answer, hopefully, we will go inside ourselves during this period of mass trauma and fear.

Similarly, this Hectic, Economy Jungle also took away our family from us. This is the time to stay with the family and break the barrier. This is the time to know your Family, have a good time with them and see what you had lost in the past.
