"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves,â Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and author of has written in his book. 

That quote completely sums up our situation right now. India, including many other countries, is in complete lockdown owing to the outbreak of coronavirus and there is very little that we can do right now. In a situation like this, where we have no control over things currently happening, itâs best to change our attitude and shift our focus towards whatâs positive out there in the world. 

This may come across as insensitive for some but can we save that debate for later please, yâall?

From blue skies, cleaner air and water, to animals and birds returning to their natural habitat, the outside world looks much better now and werenât we always striving to achieve that?

Here is a compilation of some of the beautiful images from India that clearly show us the stark differences between life before and after the lockdown:

So itâs absolutely clear that nature sure has its own mysterious ways to heal itself. Taking advantage of this better-than-before world outside, we should behave like responsible citizens and continue to protect our environment even after the lockdown ends.
