In the current pandemic, hope is what gives us the strength to imagine a world free of disease. The world needs more doers, not just watchers—people ready to make a positive impact. During the past year of mental exhaustion from the pandemic, many ordinary people have taken small but significant steps to spread positivity and happiness through their acts of love and compassion.
Social media is a powerful tool for spreading goodness. Priyata Agrawal has been sharing quotes, poems, and messages since the pandemic began to spread hope and motivation. Eepsita Chatterjee, a Team Mentor at an IT firm, lifted the spirits of her quarantined friend with a surprise gift.
Artists have also kept hope alive during the pandemic. Ankita Mathure Bhurke, an architect, took on a 100-day art challenge, blending different mediums and sharing the stories behind her art to inspire many people. Neha Marolia supported a friend affected by COVID-19 in a different city with positive messages and prayers.
Street vendors have been hit hard by the pandemic, but people like Leena Kalyani make sure to purchase from them and pay a little extra, demonstrating kindness and concern. Anushree Tajpuriya shared how a friend organized free Zoom sessions with fun activities for COVID-19 patents. Further, Aayushi Tulsiyan made regular video calls to her loved ones, assisting them in staying positive.
These narratives highlight the power of small acts of kindness in lifting spirits and spreading positivity in difficult times.
