Today I realized that amidst the chaos and confusion which looks scary , mismanaged and disorganized from the outside gives you a whole new perspective when you step inside the circle and get a chance to be on ground for a while ! We don’t know what the outcomes would be but the efforts matter .. the journey matters and realizing from the core , practicing wholeheartedly and completely surrendering to the fact that “We are in this together in the most truest sense ( mind , body and soul ).

1) Firstly , yes there is confusion, there is chaos and there are millions of complaints. in spite of all of the negatives, there is an amazing seamless machinery at work right now in the whole of India ,value chains are being created real time, every minute through the most unseen challenges , resulting in the emergence of a significant, empathetic, relentless flow of compassion and information, community seva, social responsibility and togetherness , all this being witnessed by humankind in a really really long time .

2) There are crores and crores of volunteers , frontline workers , workers , sevaks , friends , foes , family , strangers , young and old , abled and disabled , listed and unlisted , credited and uncredited out there on field, working tirelessly, day and night , through their own means , strengths and capacity to reach out and help each other. An assembly line is being created almost at record time PAN India, be it through technology, field work or social media like never before, scores of messages being exchanged within a cloud network in regards to all possible Covid related resources , some notable ones being oxygen , beds, ventilators, ICUs, plasma etc. and reaching out to one and another in millions , across districts , towns and cities.. Talk Of lack of Infrastructure- oh yes we are witnessing a complete overhaul of systems , being created and re-created !!This is India for you !! A country and its people who have adapted themselves to this sudden fall of crisis, defied expectations and are just playing by the moment, doing what needs to be done,, each citizen shooting ahead with his/her respective skill, contributing to the vast chain of resources and supplies.

3) Young techies , entrepreneurs , innovators have come forward to dive into the crisis and support it by all their might and means, be it through some state of the art apps or technologically superior crowdsourced trackers and websites , these data reserves break down information relevant to each user based on categories and specific requirements. These crowdsourced websites/apps are like a comprehensive handbook, providing the A to Z of all relevant Covid related information , trackers , availability and sources . Most importantly they are user friendly , quick and easy to use. Indians are known to be the most creative during crisis , known to face challenges head on, think out of the box and hence make the best problem solvers in the world .. and here, they prove yet again !As someone rightly said- " Indians are in spite of the Government".
