Connect Beyond Disconnections

Well, for how many of us was this zoom zone a hate zone? Count me in, if you mentally said a yes! And a yes! And a Yes! My most beloved profession, which I wake up to every day and feel absolutely delighted, was not the same in the zoom zone. Yes, just like yours, but multiplied by a million times more because I just miss meeting my students beyond and above. But what if I say, I have managed to stealthily come out of this zone due to efforts? I stayed back after my class, to speak, to hear and to share everything I feel. When I did this for the first time, almost no student wanted to stay or speak, hear or be heard. But things tend to change, doesn’t it? One child after another slowly started staying back post classes to build connections, share stories, sorrows and joy. Today, once every class’s agenda is done all of them stay back! But it all began with efforts, efforts to hold on to a call irrespective of how disconnected we feel. To connect beyond disconnections, takes efforts. I still do miss them but I definitely feel connected. I did it and so can you!
