SHROFFism

Pave the path to holistic well-being Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect

SHROFFism is propounded by Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff as a way of life that promotes “overall well-being” under the tenets of Mental, Physical and Spiritual well-being. For most people well-being resonates with physical fitness or financial wellness but in actuality wellbeing is not just lack of illness and a good bank balance but a state of contentment and satisfaction with your life. A sense of purpose and the ability to manage the day to day stresses of life while achieving life goals is essential to well-being. Overall well-being is a holistic approach. Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff who personifies grace and youth, is time and again asked about her secret to staying young. SHROFFism was conceptualised; to provide an insight into the habits and practises that have helped keep her youthful and healthy. To the question of why well-being is important, Dr. Shroff says that while well-being

seems to be a commonly used term these days, very few people understand what exactly it is and more importantly how to achieve it. More so well-being is a subjective concept and may vary from person to person but at the heart of well-being is finding fulfilment and meaning in life. While one photographer may find meaning in photographing the pain of a war torn place, bringing it to the world, helping in creating awareness and organising charity for the suffering people another photographer may find meaning in clicking celebrity pictures, selling it for huge amounts of money and creating riches for his family. Both are pursuing well-being in their own way. Basically every individual looks at well-being from the spec of their values, perceptions, past experiences and aspirations. Research has shown that a greater sense of well-being boosts our mental, physical and spiritual health and helps us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Age is just a number if your mind, body and spirit are agile. In fact, with age we acquire a better wisdom to live life fully. Says Dr. Shroff

Dr. Shroff suggests some activities like practicing gratitude, prayer, me time activities and more for calming our mind in the chaos called world. After all its only a calm mind that sends positive messages to our body to enhance physical well-being. A great mental health makes an individual cope up with the normal stresses of life easily and helps realise their full potential. Mental well-being includes our psychological, emotional and social well-being. Psychological well-being is a core aspect of overall wellbeing. It is linked to longevity, better physical health, better relationships and effectiveness in individual and social life. Psychological well-being is about living life well. It is a combination of feeling good and being effective. Feeling good comes from happiness and happiness can be defined in different ways. Psychology categorises happiness into hedonic and eudaimonic. Hedonic happiness, proposed by Greek philosopher, Aristippus, comes from pleasure and enjoyment and eudaimonic happiness proposed by another Greek philosopher Aristotle, comes from meaning and purpose. Most of the researchers in psychology believe that both happiness and finding purpose in life are important to maximize well-being.

MENTAL WELL-BEING Earlier in a traditional sense, physical health and longevity were considered the most important measure of well-being by people in general. Over a period of time it was realised that the body and mind are interconnected. In fact, Dr. Shroff feels that a healthy mind is a precursor to a healthy body. Hence, the first tenet of SHROFFism is mental wellbeing. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes can impact our physiological functioning. In other words, our mind can affect how healthy we physically are! We all have heard of headache, upset stomach, shortness of breath, insomnia and many such health issues caused by stress and anxiety. Today, the modern medical science more specifically the field of Psychology, is doing a lot of work in the field of bodymind connection and have found that certain diseases that fall in the “psychosomatic category” clearly have a body-mind connection.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

Emotional well-being primarily focuses on the ability to manage and express our emotions in an age appropriate way. It is our emotional health that ensures that we are in control of our thoughts, feelings and behaviour and are able to adapt or bounce back in case of stressful and adverse situations. Being emotionally healthy means that you know that you can’t be happy all the times and you are aware of your negative emotions and have the ability to deal with them. A healthy mind is a determinant of social well-being also. A happy and healthy mind leads to positive interaction with people which in turn leads to healthy relationships. A healthy relationship with people around us can be very gratifying as a human being seeks fulfilment from its associations. These associations can be individual or towards our society. So, developing, sustaining and sharing good relationships with others creates a sense of belonging and connectedness which makes us feel valued and brings a kind of joy that adds immensely to our well-being.

PHYSICAL WELL-BEING Physical well-being is the second tenet of SHROFFism and is important because a healthy body is the abode of a healthy mind and spirit. Physical well-being is not just physical fitness; it is inclusive of lifestyle choices to ensure health, avoid preventable diseases and live in a balanced state. To achieve optimal physical well-being, we need to eat right, exercise regularly and get a good sleep. While Dr. Shroff is a firm believer of eating right kind of food towards achieving a good health, at the same time she feels that in today’s time where we do not eat a balanced diet all the time, our bodies start suffering from nutritional deficiencies. Even the food that we eat; thanks to the modern methods of farming, use of chemicals, depletion of natural minerals from soil attributed to over farming; lacks sufficient nutrition. Given that it is advisable to take supplements along with a healthy diet to achieve optimal health. Our physical body is a perfect machinery created by the creator and like any machinery, the body parts run smoothly if used (exercised) regularly. The unused/less used body parts tend to rust and we know what rust does to a machine part!! Our body has its innate intelligence and it gives you signals in case of distress and you have to be aligned to understand it. To keep this perfect piece of machinery working well, we need to exercise our body regularly. Physical Fitness is about building cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility and a healthy weight. Each aspect is important and we need to work with different forms of exercise to achieve all the elements mentioned above. Dr. Shroff personally keeps experimenting with various forms of workouts like Aerial Yoga, Pranayama, Cycling, Kick Boxing, Pilates and many more. It makes exercising fun. Sleep is another important aspect of good physical health. Many people are of the opinion that the time spent in sleeping is a time wasted but they miss out on the fact that it is the time that our body needs to heal and repair itself. An internal body clock regulates our sleep cycle and a healthy body has a definite sleep cycle. This sleep cycle if disturbed for a significant period of time can lead to major health issues. Unfortunately, the modern lifestyle, the demands of modern life and work deadlines sees a lot of people tossing, turning because of stress and waking up sleep deprived. It’s important for us to follow certain habits and if required techniques to sleep well. Exercise and yoga help us sleep better.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

The third tenet of SHROFFism is Spiritual well-being. In today’s world of long to-do lists, our minds are constantly occupied with thoughts and responsibilities. There is hardly any down time and our necessary or not so necessary material pursuits can cause us to lose the perspective of what we are passionate about and what we really want from life. Most of the time, we end up racing on a track where there is no visible finishing line. This may lead to desperation, hopelessness and loss of spirit. How do we come out of this situation and become optimistic towards our life again? It leads us in search of something deeper. Spiritual well-being is a very broad concept that essentially revolves around our search for deeper meaning in life. The spirit is our essence, our being. When we get in touch with our essence or being, we are able to find a very different kind of fulfilment which is beyond any physical gratification. Spirituality may mean different things for different people. Some people follow religion, others may follow an art form yet some others may follow path of service and some more... Spiritual well-being means, you identify with your life’s purpose, have a connect with the divine energy, have a relationship with community, environment and culture and are committed to life’s purpose, your value and faith.

SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING 14

Research shows that there is a connection between our beliefs and sense of well-being. Positive beliefs, feelings of empathy, compassion, love and gratitude gives us a strength that seems to affect our body, mind and spirit positively. Strength gained from any form of spiritual practice has shown miracles in case of severe illnesses as well. To improve our well-being let’s take a note of certain age old practices and some new spiritual practices. The ultimate goal being peace and tranquillity from your spiritual practice.

So, the whole idea is to slow down, reflect, re-energize and go back to the purpose of your life.

Dr. Shroff practices many such ways of re-energizing and rejuvenating that she also shares in her SHROFFIsm talks. Ultimately by balancing our Mental, Physical and Spiritual wellbeing, we take care of our overall well-being and are blissful individuals.

Reading and reflection, is an age old practice where people get together or individually read a religious book and reflect on the verses. The act of contemplating the meaning and the divine connection gives a new meaning to life and helps us in getting into a positive frame of mind. Prayer is another age old way of connecting to the divine. Prayer can be ritualistic or informal, each has their own way but it has a calming effect on us as it is based on trust in God that he is looking upon us. A modern practice often recommended as a spiritual well-being activity is Journaling. Journaling can reduce your anxiety by helping you vent your emotions, it helps you in mindfully regulating your emotions and helps you overcome brooding of a bad event. It has tremendous health benefits, as it helps you in opening up your emotion and can be considered almost therapeutic.

LESSON FROM Kylie Jenner’s Success Story

Kylie Jenner has authoritatively become the most youthful individual to arrive at a very rich person status, there’s been no deficiency of individuals “getting down on her” about web-based life for her not exactly humble beginnings.

SS E C SUCor y St

We should make one thing clear as it so happens. That sort of conduct is terrible. At whatever point anybody makes any small amount of progress, there will consistently be twelve others disclosing to them that they don’t merit it.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

WE SHOULD DO SOME MATH Kylie was worth roughly $5 million of every 2015 when she turned 18. In almost a long time from that point forward, her total assets have soared to $1 billion, making her the most youthful extremely rich person on the planet. That is a 19,900% percent expansion. That would resemble having $10k today and transforming it into $2 million by 2023. All right, so your next analysis is most likely that that Kylie originated from a rich family, that she had focal points that all of us could just dream about. On the off chance that that is the situation, for what reason isn’t each Kardashian/ Jenner worth $1 billion? The following top worker in the family is Kim, who is worth around $350 million, the path not exactly 50% of what Kylie’s worth in spite of being the impetus for Kardashian distinction. Kendall, the kin nearest the Kylie in age who teamed up with her on many brand bargains, is just worth $30 million. The most youthful individual from the family makes more than every one of her sisters consolidated. How Kylie become a very rich person? It was by a progression of savvy business choices that utilized developing patterns and advances to make her realm into what it is today. HOW KYLIE MADE HER MONEY The Kardashian faction made their presentation in 2007 with Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Aficionados of the show were in a split second enchanted by the family’s sumptuous way of life, delicious dramatization, and sweet family minutes. Kylie was 9 years of age when the show debuted, and in spite of the fact that she didn’t show up regularly in the show’s initial years, she fired taking up increasingly more of the spotlight as she became more established. By 2014, she was making a detailed $500,000 per scene. That is a great deal of cash, yet it’s not even close to $1 billion. That is the thing that her faultfinders neglect to recognize. Kylie didn’t simply show up on her family’s network program, working up dramatization swinging on

stripper shafts or absently looking on her telephone. She’s been hustling since she was an adolescent. At age 11, Kylie made 100,000 on an underwriting bargain for Kardashianthemed nail shines. From that point forward, she’s displayed and embraced endless brands like Puma and Topshop. She additionally worked together with top apparel brands to make their own style and magnificence assortment called “Kendall + Kylie.”

Also, perhaps that is the reason individuals are so threatened by Kylie’s prosperity. This is on the grounds that they understand that their own reasons are all B.S. You needn’t bother with a director or a PR individual to assist you with getting your foot in the entryway. It’s everything on you. In the event that you come up short, this is a direct result of something you did, not on the grounds that you didn’t have the chance.

Kylie’s endeavored to construct an after and a brand that most computerized advertisers can just dream about. She has direct access to more than 128 million individuals’ Instagram takes care of, and endless individuals set out to duplicate her tasteful decisions — from her body-cognizant design style to her out of control hair hues to even her broadly plumped lips. Her life is her image.

Does having a renowned family help? Correct. Is it essential for progress? Not under any condition. Your life is what you think about it. Presently, like never before, there is an open door for any individual who needs it to get their cut of the pie.

That is the eventual fate of expert life. Individual marking through online life is everything.

Thus, in case you’re one of those console warriors whimpering about Kylie’s “benefit” and never helping to promote your own prosperity, it’s an ideal opportunity to get genuine about what’s truly keeping you down.

In her meeting with Forbes, Kylie recognized the enormous job that online life has had in her prosperity. Social media life is a level playing field. Dislike the film or music industry where you have to have associations or sit tight for another person to give you a possibility. There’s no guardian revealing to you that you can’t pursue your opportunity at fame. Social media life has given every one of us a once in a blue moon opportunity to develop our own brands and show them to the world.

THE UNDERLYING PILLARS

As previously said, CPS focuses on a child’s holistic development, which covers a wide variety of factors. It’s important to keep nurturing these factors to ensure a positive atmosphere in the school. Let’s understand them in a broad sense: • Create meaningful parent involvement: CPS maintains complete transparency with students’ parents to avoid any misunderstandings. It has a feedback platform for parents - to express their opinions on curriculum and activities, as well as concerns about their children’s education. Instead of prevalent parent-teacher meetings, it organizes workshops to keep parents involved in the process. Even more, parents get invited to event committees and school fundraisers. The participatory method fosters cooperation between parents and the school, as well as a favourable impact on their child. • Celebrate personal achievement and good behaviour: The school celebrates every “Good job” done by individuals. This instils a sense of being valued and portrays a positive culture of the school. Teachers are tasked to set goals for the number of compliments each week to highlight the good deeds of individual students. • Establish norms that build values: It’s not just what they should or shouldn’t, but also why is also important. This is why CPS ensures its rules and regulations are clear to students. While there isn’t a rule for every possible situation, it follows norms that focus on building positive values in a class. • Set consistent discipline: CPS also has strong disciplinary practices. Instead of putting an iron grip on students’ faults, it assigns a specific disciplinary duty that educates the wrongdoing. This unique approach helps in encouraging a positive school culture. • Model behaviours of the management: CPS has a list of characteristics and values that it looks for in kids and teachers.

But the process starts with the management. They strive to be an example of the behaviour they expect from others. Engage students in ways that benefit them: Beyond the secular curriculum, CPS focuses on strengthening its students for their future after graduation. To do so, they follow the social-emotional learning (SEL) model. Teachers are encouraged to conduct activities that empower empathy, reliability, respect, concern, and a sense of humour. Celebrating rituals and traditions: CPS punctuates time for fun, just like study. Celebrations like ‘The school day’ and ‘School year and others, builds the morale in children. Maintain the physical environment of school: Surrounding environment and tangible factors have a huge impact on a school’s culture. It enables mobility, flexible arrangement and has a positive influence on a student’s behaviour. Knowing these, CPS maintains an alluring decorum (light, temperature, air quality, room colour, etc.) of its surroundings, ensuring the focus is on sessions. Introducing technology for supplement learning also imparts a positive impact on students.

ADAPTIVE TO COVID-19

Just like every other school, CPS faced monumental challenges with the COVID-19. Offline schooling shifted to online schooling overnight, and teachers needed training for this. CPS maintained its vigilance and adhered to the requirements accordingly. It laid an upgradation program for teachers and encouraged innovation in classes to improve the learning process. Even the founder and the others on the board went on to research and brainstorm new ideas and methods to make the teaching process more comprehensive. “We want our students to be proud of their school and take part in various aspects of their development,” Prof. Fulchand Chate Sir The process helped in conducting freewheeling sessions throughout the lockdown. Those who couldn’t attend classes were shared teaching videos and notes. They even went on to celebrate festivals online, attaching science with culture and rituals.

AN EMPOWERING CULTURE FOR TEACHERS

Besides students, CPS prioritizes the development of the brains that aligns children with the school’s vision. To help teachers improve their skills and craft, It pairs individual teachers with a mentor from day 1. As such, teachers become cognizant of policies and rules and how to use tech in class. “Supporting new teachers in this way helps to promote a consistent atmosphere,” Said, Principal Mrs. Mikita V. Kale. Working closely with teachers also helps in understanding what they feel about their work. CPS also heeds their feedback, hear out concerns, and get suggestions for improvement.

PROGRESS & FUTURE

CPS has established a strong reputation in Pune in just a few years, thanks to its dedication and skill. With innovation-based learning, outdoor learning, sport and community gatherings, etc., it has built a stimulating environment acclaimed by parents and allows students to explore opportunities. In the broad sense of prospects, the School targets to be the #1 Rank in India, in terms of: • Cultural diversity & volunteerism within the community. • Partnering with International Schools to explore more cultures • Enhance before and after school program (Foreign language and social/emotional development) to develop the “whole child” • Virtual Learning methodologies • Student Internships to build a proactive background for them • Partnership with local Universities to acquire and install academic programs and technology in class. 25

How Cooking Can Bring Harmony in Life WANT TO BE A GENIUS IN COOKING? Add a pinch of mindfulness, a flake of creativity, and a drop of focus. Then gently blend it together, bake it in a slow oven, and observe your state of mind rising. Serve it hot with a plate of satisfaction. This is the way you can enhance your mood in the kitchen, cooking is a wonderful method that helps in satisfying the body’s need for food and is recognized as a way of nurturing the mind. People nowadays are so busy with moving in this fast-paced life that they hardly find time to cook. The easiest solution they end up with is to order food from restaurants that would satisfy their taste buds. But have you ever thought that you can cook your food by yourself according to your satisfaction? The consumption of food is safest and healthier when it is cooked at home. Yes! I agree that food from restaurants is tastier than made at home but why not trying to make the same restaurant food at home? You may fail once or twice but trying it several times would lead you to the same satisfaction.

A SELFLESS ACT, WHEN COOKED FOR OTHERS Cooking brings connectivity to people. Our childhood is spent on eating home food cooked by our mom. There has always been a feeling of satisfaction when she fed us. There is a saying that, a mother puts all her love into making food for her family and that is visible in the food. That is what connects us to her, the mixture of love and care. Cooking for others is nurturing, it is sustenance.

Cooking comes up with some positive psychological benefits that would bring harmony in life:

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

A Tool To Improve Relationships Cooking builds special memories, remember the good old days when during vacations you end up in messing up the kitchen, then mom comes to your rescue and teaches how to manage things in the kitchen. Those times were filled with the excitement of learning new things. How can someone forget the pleasant aroma of brownies that you baked with your mom? Even sometimes when you fight with mom, just enter the kitchen to help her out with small kinds of stuff and you will see that you both ended up in having fun cooking together.

There is a cumulative effect of cooking that it shows a self-care when you cook for yourself, it helps in taking care of others when you cook for other by putting an ingredient of love in it, it hits on meeting the basic needs for oneself as food is the most important part of life. Cooking is a feeling of connection and happiness that brings people together. Entering the kitchen opens up a path to endless opportunities that expresses your creativity and leads you to the art of gratification. Spending quality time in the kitchen helps one to ease stress and restlessness, it also enhances mindfulness and brings harmony to life.

A Form Of Self-Care

There is always a self-care part of cooking. When we cook something, we add up a lot of creativity into it which makes the dish look more vibrant. Cooking is an act of making nourishment for yourself and taking the time to feed your body is important. Cooking for yourself not only helps you to eat healthily but also helps in raising confidence.

DISPERSION OF EDUCATION THROUGH THE VISION OF A TRIUMPHANT MILLENNIAL Kriti Anand | Business Connect

“Learn from your mistakes, the only person who knows what is best for you is only you. The entire purpose of education is not to restrict itself to imparting bookish knowledge only but inculcate humanitarian values too” Naina Jain.

he literacy rate around the world does not hold a very remarkable number and education, as we recognize today, stands to be a remote right for millions of children. And in the subtleties so unfortunate globally in terms of education, it is of paramount significance that there are endeavors coming up to fetch a revolution in the segment of education. And one such boon in the multifaceted education system of the current era is Naina Jain, Additional Secretary, MD International School, Bijnor, who’s aggressively affianced in the dispersion of enhancing knowledge.

Meet the Millennial Visionary!

While there are innumerable noble minds in an educational institute, but among them are some that turn out to be the change-makers of the society. Naina Jain has been one such personality of this institute. Born on August 28, 1994, she completed her graduation (B Sc. Hons) from IILM (University of Bradford) and a diploma in interior designing from Pearl Academy, New Delhi and joined M.D. International School as an Additional Secretary in 2018 at a very young age of 24 years. “My inspiration during this journey and throughout my life is my father- Mr. Navneet Jain. He is a man of principles and always motivates me to go ahead in my life. It is because of his hard work and dedication that the school has achieved so much in such a short span of time,” further recalls Naina. Talking about her early days at the institute, she adds that, her challenges weren’t any different from the rest. Supervising a school and getting together departments to accomplish the mission is always an enormous challenge for school management but transforming the school with additions of high technology-enabled automation tools to support the academic and administrative processes made it easier to achieve the goals. Initially, taking up such a big responsibility under the guidance and support of her father Navneet Jain, she efficaciously learned and ensure the roles and responsibilities associated with enhanced learning results.

Naina Jain

Additional Secretary, MD International School A critical role of education also is dependent on molding the individuality of a child into a sturdy personality and a jovial soul, who isn’t just operational with 21st-century attitudes and robotically is inclined towards scholarly magnificence. It also is essential to teach one how to face the difficulties of life in a fair and amicable way. In this way, the arrangement of training should fill in as an impetus in making every child a reasonable individual. A school as an institution essentially turns into a preaching ground for the little one, they tend to gain knowledge according to their understanding. A lot starts to depend on the manner of exposure or education school’s imparts into one. And MD International has been doing an impeccable job, they are in the process of making the next generation the bright future of the country and raise bars of their institute.

Education in the Present Scenario!

The Ideologies on Ground Zero!

Naina currently believes in focusing on shaping up the existing system in the changing scenario of globalization with attempts to resolve the issue of getting trained manpower in the field of higher education for sustainable growth and development of the nation.

MD International School, regarded as a center of educational excellence, their sole aim has been to provide a comprehensive education for holistic development of individual personality with a human touch and visionary outlook. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

She feels that autonomy has been found to improve learning outcomes in both public and private schools with most high-achieving education systems allowing schools to make their own decisions about teacher hiring practices, curriculum development or resource allocation. Over the past decade, there have been a number of changes in the education space that have revamped the landscape of the industry. Institutions are making lots of efforts to customize the students’ experiences and are changing their processes to become more student-centric. Most parents want children to have the best possible global education with greater exposure, something that they may not have been able to get themselves. “One of the biggest changes in the recent past has been the increase in the number of parents looking beyond the goal of ‘getting a reputed job’ for their children. Parents now see more value in the building life skills that would be useful in the ‘real world’, and allowing them to follow their own passions and entrepreneurial ideas rather than goals set by their family” states Naina. From her perspective education is a necessity and not a luxury, it is about using education for personal advantages and to utilize the knowledge for our growth. Also one can lead their own life without depending on others. As far as education in terms of schools or colleges is concerned, education is a luxury for most people at least here in India and it is a measure of the wealth of modern society that we propose to educate everyone.

What’s On Cards in the Future?

The school is journeying towards providing value-based education with new innovations and ideas so that the children grow into aesthetically aware and integrated young people, capable of fulfilling their dreams and aspirations. They want to encourage mutualism, develop a global vision, enhance value based education and capacity to take decisions in difficult times. They assure a rewarding future, modern Gurukul life, Secularism, impartial judgment and an ideal blend of tradition and modernity. Also, build relationships within the community so they have outside resources to supplement their internal support system and have school policies that are firm, fair and consistent so teachers and staff can enforce them. The motivated young millennial, Naina Jain comes with a picture of transforming education for the greater good of the following generations. Recognized on multiple platforms like “Most Promising Young Woman Award -2018” for excellence in woman entrepreneur category by GLOBAL LEADER FOUNDATION, New Delhi, “Best Young Director of the Year Award (Below 40 Years)” in “Global Education and Corporate Leadership Awards (GECL-2018)”, Meerut and “ SEAS Global Women’s Achiever Awards 2018” has not let all the accreditations get to her head. She always wished to indicate not only academic excellence but positive attitude and values like honesty, compassion, knowledge, and leadership among the students and has successfully achieved it so far by flying colors and we look forward to seeing more of her future endeavors. “Life goes on, do not focus on being right or smart. Build your entire identity around being a learner and focus on what makes you happy”. Naina Jain

TOURISM

Trekkers Adapting to COVID-19 Norms, are Exploring New Tracks Trekking is a social sport, loved by wanderers. Just imagine yourself climbing up to the Himalayas. The satisfaction of reaching to the top and sitting on a cliff, enjoying the enormous surrounding from the top will take away, all your stress. The more realistic way would be to imagine yourself there with a hot cup of tea along with a bowl of Maggi in the chilly weather! Climbing through the Himalayas will assure an experience that can never be forgotten. The willpower to start and finish the trek is a motivation in itself. But trekking was forced to be at a halt for some time due to the Coronavirus pandemic that has taken the world by a storm.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition January 2022 INDIA

The most difficult days faced by trekkers were the time of lockdown when they were forced to lock themselves down at home for a long period. It is extremely difficult for trekkers to live in four-cornered rooms, who are used to live in tents on the lap of nature. No air condition can provide the cool breeze that nature can give. A pure freshness of tropical forest is everything that a wanderer needs. The pandemic hit hard like a termite who ripped through the layers and made its presence felt. When the entire country was in lockdown, train journeys were on hold and trek routes were forbidden territories. When the lockdown was unfolding slowly, the paths for trekkers were gradually opening too but just like other guidelines, the trekkers also have to get adapted to the new COVID norms. It seems like after a long time, the trekkers are reconciled with their backpacks and jackets filled with dust. Three months back, when the coronavirus was calmly unfolding, a pastor and trekker from Mohali, Daniel Francis looked forward at the journeys to several Himalayan treks. He picked one to Bhrigu Lake, which is one of the well-known routes along Manali’s Himalayan trekking trail. “I plunged into action, as I enjoyed a trek to Hatu Peak. It’s easy if you can drive to Barog from Chandigarh and then take the next stop at Narkanda, which is the beginning of a seven-kilometer trail to the artistic Hatu temple,” shares Francis. Surrendering to nature is what trekkers love to do and by inhaling the much-needed dose of oxygen and embracing the world of nature with a walk on the wild side. A Chandigarh-based trekker, Jashan Chatwal states that whenever a trek in the Himalayas is planned, he not only looks forward to climbing, tent stays, make-shift bathrooms, or the delicious meat curries but also the break from all the noises that exist in the urban lives. “I have been exploring local urban hikes and forgotten parts of the city, discovering gorgeous dead ends and pretty houses around where I live,” says Chatwal.

“

“ Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all

the happiness and growth occurs while you are climbing it.

– Andy Rooney

It is said that walking in nature is something where you can be lucky to witness a thousand miracles. A passionate hiker, Sheena Singh emphasizes the view, “You have to be super present and that’s what trekking is, it’s being in the moment. It’s not being somewhere else. It’s being in the right now. With COVID-19 numbers going up, I am concerned about the possibility that trails may close again which is why it’s sensible to follow the local guidelines and maintain a physical distance. That means, for instance, avoiding popular trails or peak times.” When one decides to do something, nothing can come in their way. Just like the world has resumed with the guidelines being followed, trekking has also resumed, adapting itself to new COVID norms. The most common challenges that can be faced when you are on trekking will be interacting and adjusting with locals, evening camaraderie, sharing stories with people around, and then the warm hugs. A lot might have been changed when you go for trekking next time but in the end, you will be mesmerized with the beauty of nature anyhow. The world might have changed but still, the sky will be the same as always.
