Pandemic chronicles - 17 May ' 20

 17 May

Surprise Test.. Yes remember the first time you gave one; no preparation, sounded difficult, being pushed to the corner you did try till you ran out of ideas. That was may be an hour of ransacking your grey matter (I wish brain was colorful ðŸ™‚ ) . No one threw you out of the class but you did feel helpless for a while. No wonder, whether we scored or we didn't, that maiden-over taught us to accept that there will be such surprises and they will spring up awkwardly. There will always be a sense of fear and failure and a wish to overcome and succeed.

2020 is a year which gave world a surprise test.

Yes, and the whole world now knows how to react to such a test - one day at a time. We are still figuring out. Life didn't change just that the norms of life changed. Energy is constant. So when warmth of hands have to be a few feet away, power of word layered with tone of voice should be far more powerful. Being empathetic, inclusive, intuitive, crisp as a speaker, being attentive, engaging, mindful, creative as a listener is so important today. It should be a new dictionary altogether. Admit a difficult one. This surprise test is probing us to start a fresh outlook for communication.

Agreed, every day can't be a good one but every communication needs to be a cool one. Month of May always motivate me to think new..Language for future is top on mind...

For now trying to decipher the known voices behind the mask.. masky voice.
