“Koi bhi dhanda chota nhi hota aur dhande se bada koi dharm nhi hota.”
This is not just a dialogue but something which changed the perspective of every individual when it comes to doing a particular work.
Based on the current scenario and the implementations of lockdown, time and again people took up various job opportunities which came their way irrespective of the fact that whether the particular work is suitable for them or not, provided the work gave them earnings and with which they can fulfill their needs and needs of their family.
With lockdown been implemented everywhere they were many who lost their jobs, some people lost their long running jobs while some lost their new jobs. With people frequently losing their jobs and various sectors of the society being badly hit by the current scenario and some even closing down forever, the economy of the nation came down drastically.
Life does not stop for anyone it goes on and with every changing time the scenario changed, people got adapted in the way they had never before. Everyone accepted the situation and moved on and tried on things which can earn them a living. With the current scenario, there were many people who could pursue a living through their creativity, hobbies, skills, etc while some could do it with their knowledge and education. Some tried their hands on new things, learning something new while some continued with the older ones. It is said that in adversities the person makes the best use to get out of it. Also people truly understand their inner potentials in the adverse of situations. When no other options are left and a Do or Die kind of situation arises then the inner potential and mental ability of an individual helps them to convert a challenge into an opportunity and handle it gracefully in the best possible way one can do it.
There were many such unexplored sectors which suddenly got a boon and boost like never before. One such is the ‘ baking industry.’ With every individual being at home, kitchen became the most explored area in the house. Although the baking industry is not new it is present since ages but this industry rather profession got a sudden boost during these times.
With the household individuals trying their hands on baking and learning new art forms in baking, some perfected in their skills in baking, some learnt new courses of baking. Baking was once thought to be only a chefs cup of tea but now with the help of digital world and all the equipment’s being readily available in the market it is easier for people to try their hands on baking from baking cakes, to cookies, to bread , buns, etc.
In any startup business an investment is always required whether it is investing in learning a course and then earning money from it or investing money to startup a business.
Baking can indeed be a best startup option for business according to the current scenario. Homemade bakers suddenly got a boost during this time. Demand increased and choices changed. Many new forms of baking evolved. New types of cakes were made. New sectors explored which provided and could provide income to the individuals. Baking has indeed become a new type of engineering where new areas can be explored and worked upon. Many people made apron their uniform, chef hat their crown and started with baking.
During lockdown, when the roads were empty, every individual being restricted to move out of the house, shops being closed, home delivery came to a rescue and ultimately became a most feasible option during those times.
Not everyone is skilled or a master of everything from the mother’s womb itself, every expert was once a beginner, learning and willing to learn new skills, courses could help individuals excel in life and also gives them an edge over other individuals when it comes to facing challenges and accepting new opportunities in life and what if the skill or course learnt by an individual earns him or her and extra penny or becomes a basic source of income, mode of business so that they could satisfy their needs and wishes of themselves as well as their family. So isn’t it amazing to learn something new and exciting and earn a penny out of it. Well, that’s surely the icing on the cake.
