When a pipe bursts!


Hearing the sudden noise of splashing and spraying of water, I looked outside through the window to fond this pipe gushing out water!

The plumber who came to mend the pipe mentioned that it occurs rarely!

The unexpected events take us by surprise. 

The COVID pandemic was one such unexpected event. 

The speed with who which scientific community it created vaccine and manufactures produced them to vaccinate millions globally is almost a miracle of the century. 

Th unexpected in our lives bring out the inner resolve to overcome the circumstances. Humans  discover another dimension of their capacity during such times. It is a need and a challenge which harness our resources. 

The unexpected events have a devastating effect sometimes. But the outcome can be yet another discovery of human resilience and capacity to cope!

Having spent 40 years of my clinical years with children with developmental challenges, I have been surprised by the way children overcome their difficulties and parents find ways to give them opportunities to live optimally. 

It is necessary to look beyond the immediate loss to have a view of some gains in the horizon!
