In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for his sensitive, fresh and beautiful poetry. He wrote that the butterfly counts not months, but moments and has enough time. When people realise how short life is, they often develop a new gratefulness for life. But it also makes people more focused. Often in life we are faced with emergencies that call for urgent actions. These become our butterfly moments. For all education institutions across the globe COVID-19 has become a butterfly moment.
