2020 comes to an end. What a year! A year that scared humanity like hell, a year that made all kinds of losses stare at your face with arrogance and audacity; be it life, money, emotional health, social life, society, work, livelihoods. A year that choked human beings with fear, caution and insanity. Made us wear masks when the air around us was clean. Made us feel helpless when some of us suffered all alone and some even went away without letting us see them one last time.
The other side of the same 2020 – gave us all the time we always wanted to spend with family. Gave us the luxury of waking up late and walking into our office desktops while in night dress and sometimes even without brushing. Gave us a chance to miss the crazy traffic, that we so always wanted to miss. Gave us the happiness of home-made healthy food, taught us the need to follow a healthy lifestyle. Above all, 2020 gave us the time to spend with ourselves, know ourselves, learn personal lessons the hard way.
2020 was a jolting reminder that we are all mere mortals. A thing as small as a virus that is invisible to a human eye can corner the whole human race; so much for achievements we as human beings can brag about. This a wake-up call.
2021, we are coming. This time with lessons learnt, as better human beings hopefully.
HAPPY 2021!
