Milind Soman Steps Out To Buy Groceries For The First Time, Says It's 'Beginning Of Big Change'
Do you sense love growing more and more among people when you step out to buy groceries? We are all sailing in the same boat, after all -- all of us, even the celebrities.
Milind Soman recently stepped out to buy groceries "for the first time" and here is how it went!
Firstly, he was stumped to see the streets of Mumbai vacant. It was a rare sight for him, just like it is for many others.?
"Went out to the market for the first time yesterday. No cars. People in masks. Very very quiet. Feel fortunate to get a few fresh vegetables that were available just a few hundred meters from home."
He says we are all in this together, but there are people who are struggling more for basic things like food and shelter. His heart goes out to all of them, he said.?
"In the situation we are in today, so many people have so much less. When I read about whole families walking back 100's of kilometers from cities to their villages, with little or no food and water, I know that I have a lot to be grateful for."?
Sharing his experience of stepping out, he revealed how well-organised everything was.?
"Things in the market were well organized, the few people on the street were maintaining distance from each other outside shops and in front of the few vegetable and fruit vendors. I have never seen such orderly queues, or the kind of civic mindedness that I see today."?
He foresees a big change is coming.?
"It seems like the beginning of a big change, perhaps we will see a new social order in the years to come, different in ways that we cannot imagine."?
Spread love and empathy in these tough times that we are all dealing with. It shall pass, but until then, let's all give each other emotional support and lend a loving ear to each other.?
