Hi there,
July went by so fast and the weather has been great and corona cases on the decline. Yet local people are very careful and are following the Covid appropriate norms which is rather very appreciative!
There is rise in the arrival of the domestic tourists? They are hiring motor bikes and travelling within the region. Since last one week there has been intermittent rain and cases of one or two small flash floods in the village of Wakha and Ledho also along the Himachal side on the way to Leh but this one seems very fatal?
Earlier, we discussed about what could be one Buddha period about? Once when I asked my father regarding one Buddha period he got amused and casually agreed to my analysis that one Buddha period could be 5000 human years. As even after 2565 years we still remember the present Shakyamuni Buddha!
That is, present Buddha belonging to the Shakya race of the ancient times that resided around the foothills of the Himalayas. The most popular quote of the Buddha being, ‘Be light unto thyself’ meaning thereby that only you can save yourself from the challenges of life; no outside force can be of any use?
Now that our glacier streams are full of water there is relief among the farmers. The early season being much cooler it was rather dull and life hadn’t taken off. Now, the nature is at its fullest bloom and market is being flooded with local fruit that is apricot which is very delicious also healthy!
Today, everything boils down to digital technology. So the children are being handed with handset at a very early age which in a way is not healthy? So the schools needs to be imparting teaching at school with physical presence of the child using traditional play way method and use of hand writing, reading and memorizing?
Later, at higher level they could use digital applications. However, due to Corona all schools are closed and school teachers are using mobile to impart class teaching from home. Which has rather become very tedious and all concerns seem to be missing the active live classes? The case is same all over the world and young parents are not happy about schools being close?
So at present one the worst affected sector of the economy has been the ‘Education Sector’ since the coming of the corona since last year January 2020? No one knows how long this will prevail? One can only hope for the best and be prepared for the worst in such circumstances?
There is a Ladakhi proverb which states, ‘Skitpo rang gyi macho na, doogpo mi e stan dook’ (if one does’nt pursue happiness, others will make life miserable for you’) so better to heed this simple idiom and make small efforts to pursue joy and cheerfulness!
Even times are such that many people among younger age are passing away due to accidents, disease and other unknown reasons? And senior people seem to be living quite well! I don’t about other place but here in our region people have been making such remarks?This could be also due to social media which now plays a very dynamic role in bringing out many issues that earlier remained unknown. It is also bringing news of the world at your desk top without making any effort! Bye for now.
