Indore: Corona has changed the way we live and experience life in many ways including major changes in our lifestyle. Women generally went out together celebrating different colours of life in themes, parties and prayers.
Now, as we fight coronavirus, many such women groups including Beeba Social Group, Charming Girls Group, Sarvagya group, women for women group, etc. have formed a new way of connecting with each other.
While some are engaging in online kitty, many are using social media formats to share prayers and support each other with online prayer sessions.
“We are all connected via our whatsapp group, so every evening after our sermon, all the group members offer special prayers for the world to fight coronavirus,” homemaker Gollo Chhabra said.
To motivate everyone to offer the prayer known as ‘ardas’ everyone is required to give a heads up or some form of confirmation, as shared by group member Balbir Saini.
“Corona has changed the way we live, this includes our meet-ups,” homemaker Arvinder Kaur said. She added that the only way to connect positively in such difficult times is through prayers.
Discussing kitty parties, homemakers Satnam Hora and Minni Rajpal said, “The trend of going to café and hotels, which was taking on like wildfire is on a big break.” They added that in a way, it has helped people in realising the importance of prayers.
“Nobody knows, when we will again meet, chat and relax with our group without worries now, because even if people meet, somewhere the corona fear bothers us in the back of our mind,” homemakers Pinky Narang and Harvinder Rakhara said.
Fighting the fear, some women meet up in groups of 2 or 3, but no more fun carefree kitty parties. “Normally, many kitty parties had games and fun, but now it is mostly prayers because that’s the need of the hour,” homemakers Nirmal Saluja, Jasbir Hora and Tanveer Chhabra said, applauding the new trend.
Embracing the new trend, homemakers Jasbir Kaur and Hardeep Kaur said, “Life after lockdown will be different, we are guessing that prayers and gratitude will be a part of our meetings for quite some time even after corona ends.”
