My Investment during Lockdown

When the lockdown was first announced in the month of March 2020, I couldn't sit at home all of a sudden, my mind was not prepared to be idle at home, not sure of what to do next. I researched countries which was affected before us and saw they were already in their 75+ days of lockdown. I thought this might extend for us too and wanted to invest the time gaining some knowledge. Started a certification course in "Basic Child Psychology" in Udemy and followed by that read many online articles, kids engagement posts, usage of digital technology and so on which was enhancing my knowledge of interest. Though I had psychology in my Post Graduate subjects, my interest in psychology started from my childhood where i like observing people, their mindset, behavioural patterns etc., and from my 17 years, where I would hunt all psychology books in my Under Graduate College library. Which was in turn very helpful for me in parenting my two kids and also when I took over Tiny Teddies, I could easily handle young minds with ease. 

Now, again we are into strict lockdown, I wanted to do some professional course on Guidance and Counselling, did lots of research but  couldn't find a proper one. Since I was searching and surfing the courses availability for months in my browser, Facebook popped me an AD on "Counselling Children and Adolescents". Along with that I thought of completing Advanced Child Psychology too. And here I am with my completion certificates.




I feel good when I gain more knowledge in the subject that interest me. Comment me your favourite subject and how you invest your time during lockdown?

Elephant Rope


A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.

As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn’t try to at all.

Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.

The trainer replied; The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was because over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

Moral of the story: No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.
