Pandemic and more

“2020”, a year human beings will have it engraved in their mind and pass it onto future generations.

When it all started in December 2019, we all read about it and I living in India thought it is never going to make it to my country. There was January, February ,March and we realized that it is real and we were terrified. We had planned a vacation in march and that was the only normal vacation maybe I will have in years to come. I am so glad that I did go on that vacation.

I came down to my hometown as there was a lockdown period and never in my dreams I thought I would be stuck at a home for duration of 2020. Initially it felt good, because there was a certainty on when the lockdown would come to an end. I learnt cooking, took my lost interest of being a bookworm. But the lockdown doesn't seem like coming to an end. I became quite comfortable or I would say adapted myself to “work from home” and rejoiced it.

Slowly, when I realized that there isn't a ultimatum for this pandemic is when I started getting frustrated. I was overdone with learning cooking as I was just putting on weight due to lack of exercise and feeling sluggish all the time because of staying indoors. Even the family time started feeling like “too much to deal” and at last the thing I rejoiced in the beginning started showing its aftereffect, “work from home” which just made a person lose work life balance.

When I see just two months left for 2020 to close the doors, it just left human being with uncertainty, negativity and fear of being still. 2020 was all about pandemic and more…..
