Kindness idea for you this Tuesday: Let us respect and value labour!

#EveryTuesday, we share an idea to show your kindness to the people or community around you! We believe your action will help spread generosity to make a better world!


Let us respect and value labour!

 
For many in India #StayAtHome has not meant better work-life balance! In spite of saving hours of commute, it is less sleep and more hours of work, yes office work plus hours of doing strenuous household chores, in spite of sharing housework with your spouse or partner. For most people, there is no more the luxury of having hot breakfast and a ready-to-carry lunch bag with multiple boxes packed to perfection as per a nutritionist's diet chart. The invisible hands that managed the kitchen and laundry, and looked after the plants and ensured everything was clean, shiny and in the right place; are not around. It was unthinkable of giving your home staff leave without replacement. For some it was an obsession to micromanage their time and ensure they had enough work to do even while going away on a work tour or holiday!
 
In between figuring out smarter ways of doing the chores, reflect on the value of these wonderful people who make your life so productive and comfortable. When you welcome them back into your home, may it be with deep respect. Honour them on their return and may it be a new beginning of treating them with respect for their hard work.
 
How about making a card, a certificate, a gift for your daily warriors? And, something special for them #EveryTuesday!

Kindness idea for you this Tuesday: As the earth begins to heal, with gratitude share a bit of your savings with those who have none!

#EveryTuesday, we share an idea to show your kindness to the people or community around you! We believe your action will help spread generosity to make a better world!



While the lockdown continues with almost all of us at home, some of our farmers are back at work in the fields to make sure that we continue to get uninterrupted food supplies, for several months from now.

 
Think of farmers and farm-labourers going back to mother nature, with their weary hands on near empty stomachs. This Tuesday, let's be grateful for the food on our plate. Let's be thankful for the cleaner air and the nearly blue skies, for the chirping birds and the blooming trees... As the earth begins to heal, and we reflect upon what we have, with gratitude, let's open up our hearts and feed the hungry. Let's share a bit of our savings with those who have none.
