As a professional badminton coach, which I am or was (status unknown) the past couple of days fascinated me to witness something unique.
Almost all the pro baddy coaches of Maharashtra came together to jointly appeal to the Maharashtra government to let coaching start on a nominal basis atleast.
I saw over a hundred names come together for one common purpose. I saw the power of unity. I saw people normally not seeing eye to eye come together. It is amazing to witness the potential of human unity in the face of adversity. This shows that we can stand up for each other if needs be.
The common purpose here is understandable as sports coaching in India being somewhat an unorganised sector (still) in the grand scheme of things is taking serious blows in this COVID era.
And, I hope for the sake of the collective that it starts on a nominal basis immediately with proper social distancing protocols.
But, this episode though brings an interesting thought in my mind. ?
Does Kalki need to be extra-terrestrial for us to unite as One in this planet?
Om Shanti….?
