Social distancing the latest buzzword has taken the world by storm and has replaced words that dominated our lives like ‘global economic slowdown’ and ‘global recession’ to ‘social awareness’ and ‘social distancing’.
We have been shaken and stirred in the wake of COVID 19, and like all major or minor hurdles in our life, this too shall pass. It’s not the end, but it signals a new beginning, perhaps a clarion call for us to adapt and adopt to a rapidly changing world.
Everything has a positive side to it, so what possibilities does the Corona virus bring for all of us?
Whizzing off to attend a destination wedding or catching up with our friends and family in India and abroad, calling friends over for that impromptu get-together, or deciding to eat at a 5-star joint, various festivals – the list is endless when it comes social commitments in our lives!!
We expected all this and took it for granted…but do we realise that we need to strike a balance between our social life and personal well being. We have all felt that sometimes 24 hours is not enough and maybe an extra hour would really give us the much-needed breather.
Right now we are passing through a tunnel – but there surely is light at the end of it!
We have two options today-wallow in self pity or choose to sit down for some quiet introspection. Where is your life going? Would you like to do things differently? Do you feel you need to brush up your knowledge on investing?
When was the last time you had a quality conversation with your family? This is the time to be up close and personal with yourself.
Maybe, a bucket list would be a great idea. Health goals, financial goals, family goals could be a starting point…
The pollution levels in all major cities are at an all-time low thanks to the coronavirus!!! The green zone at the Fort William recorded an AQI or Air Quality Index Level of 343 (very poor category) in November 2019, today (22nd march 2020) the AQI level is down to 85 (moderate category)!!!
Millennium Mams does not miss a single opportunity too. Yesterday’s Yoga Session at 5 was a super success and there was a record number of registrations – A whopping100!!! Hats off to the Mams for rephrasing ‘Impossible’ and making it ‘I’m possible!”. Kudos to our yoga teacher who made those difficult asanas look easy! It was certainly a rejuvenating experience!
Though I miss my regular routine going out for my constitutional walk at the Horticultural Gardens or the gym, this ‘fresh chapter’ in my life has really done wonders to my health.
Let’s remember what the legendary investor, Warren Buffett, told us – ‘Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful!’
Those elusive stock market gems which we were on our radar are now available at attractive valuations being beaten down by the global mayhem due to the coronavirus.
Mams are astute bargain hunters and you won’t get a better deal than what you have in the current situation. Start investing in a calibrated manner and pick up small lots of these invaluable stocks. When the market swings back and picks up momentum, you will be enjoying a healthy profit! Mouth-watering, isn’t it?
Sounds intimidating, but what’s the harm in trying?
It’s easy to chicken out of a sticky situation, but that’s not what the Mams do…They make the best out of the worst and more often than not come out in flying colours.
Online lessons can be as effective as offline classes. The proof of the pudding would be our digital session on Self Development with Mr. Dhanuka. Don’t you feel really motivated and upbeat attending those sessions! ‘The show must go on’ – that is the message that our ‘mentor and founder’ has communicated to us through his powerful deliberations. The energy and enthusiasm that Mr. Dhanuka exudes through his online sessions are as powerful as his classroom sessions.
When was the last time you played Antakshari with your family or any indoor game? It could be carom or chess or maybe monopoly!!!

How about watching your favourite movie on your flat-screen TV along with a bucket of Popcorn and Coke!! Don’t forget to post your beautiful pictures on Insta or Facebook to keep us motivated!!
Millennium Mams are unstoppable!!! From book-reading sessions to Dhanuka Sir’s classes, everything is going on without a hitch!! Thanks to technology, we are powering on through our journey of continuous learning!! It’s an exhilarating experience for me, and must be the same for you?
Our Omaha Trip in 2019 was an unprecedented learning experience for us with impressive takeaways. Let us upgrade our knowledge of stocks to be ready for Omaha 3 and make it an even greater success!! Let us spend this time brewing new ideas which can be implemented at Omaha.
COVID 19 has been a blessing in disguise. Social distancing has brought us spiritually closer to each other and rid the planet of toxins, albeit temporarily. Confidence and growth- the driving engines for us, isn’t it?
Let’s bid adieu to Covid19, but not to the great takeaways from it.
