totally agree sir, this year 2020 has given us huge losses and various people left us and so many things happened in this year. and when I talk about 2020 in a nutshell I would say "2020 is nothing but worst".

but this year was good in some aspects too, like I virtually met you, learned a lot of things in form of platform and humanity from you and many more. what else to expect from 2021 is summed up my fav Dr. Kumar Vishwas

“इस साल न हो पुर-नम आँखें, इस साल न वो खामोशी हो

इस साल न दिल को दहलाने वाली बेबस-बेहोशी हो

इस साल मुहब्बत की दुनिया में, दिल-दिमाग की आँखें हों

इस साल हमारे हाथों में आकाश चूमती पाँखें हों

ये साल अगर इतनी मुहलत दिलवा जाए तो अच्छा है

ये साल अगर हमसे हम को, मिलवा जाए तो अच्छा है

wishing you and your family members a very happy new year 2021.

Regards

Prabhat

I think 2020 may be worst for some but I consider it has an year for human race to understand what is our role and status in this world which is a dwelling place of all the creatures which we had completely forgotten and as usual tried to behave like super powers. But we are nothing in front of the nature. One more good thing to say bye is with wonderful write ups v got to read and touch so many fields of information and expand our knowledge. To tell you frankly many things which I was not aware of I have come to know. Keep it up dear Shailendra. Really lucky to have you as my friend.

I agree with you, Amruta. This year has shown us things which should really matter to us- Good Health of self/family, Good Company and Limited Wants.

I am not sure, why people criticise 2020 so much. I think it has given us an opportunity to live with our loved ones more than even before.... and helped us to be more interpersonal with each other.... if not have done even now..... please go ahead as still nothing has lost. Also, for them who are not with there loved ones..... with whatsoever reason.... for them this year has highlighted the FLAW in system like government, organisation or any; and one selves as well like lack of familiarity with the technology and others, are to mention some.

So what I think is ..... this year should be treated as BENCHMARK as to how far do we have to go .... in order to attain our goals.... however, one should not forget that it’s not the goal that matters the most..... it’s the JOURNEY to attain that goal matters... please enjoy it thoroughly.

Often we have seen people in our life who gets dishearten when they do not achieve their goal.... so what’s also important is OPTIONS. Because we gave much attention to our goals and don’t look at options that are available with us. Definitely, it’s true that Determination is as important as to live a SUCCESSFUL life, same hold true for OPTIONS in-order to leave peaceful life. OPTIONS in life generates peace whereas Determination sometimes distorts that peace. Because-

मनचाही में खलल है, प्रभु चाही तत्काल।

बलि चाही आकाश को, और भेज दियो पाताल॥

For rest: If you have an access to a Platform ... and you use it judiciously .... then Congratulations..... you can be in the UPPER Tail of the K-Shaped economic recovery.

Fully agree that this is tough year but this year given us an insights and methods to deal with adverse situations like work from home, online classes, as a result even sectors like banking and insurance has also started believing in work from home model. Above all these discussions, thank you for giving us knowledge about different platforms who are working in different sectors and for different reasons and the most important thing that is lessons of life through this newsletter and mountain speak sessions. So, I wish in upcoming years also we will get these pearls of knowledge, motivation and inspiration.
