How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
It’s been 5 years since our life stood still and then took a 360-degree turn. Nature had stuck us with her worst weapon: Covid -19.
I still recall the day when the first case was identified in a nearby office premises and we were asked to vacate our workstations. Panicked and confused, we left in hurried queues. My mind had started racing to stock up on groceries to survive the next few weeks. Usually, we did our shopping to sustain a week but that’s one habit which we adapted overnight: stock up for emergencies!
Social distancing and wearing masks became so normal as did the habit of staying indoors. We adapted to sharing a workload of household chores. Practicing gratitude and checking up on neighbors, well being of friends became a regular norm. “We are in this together” and “This too shall pass” were the mantras to live by while mourning over the sudden losses of lives as we stood helpless.
For me, this blog became an escape. Ordo ab Chao, captured the order in my chaotic mind. I had actively started freeing words which like little birds kept hitting the barriers of my mind cage. It’s been a journey ever since and this is a happy reminder of Covid 19.
The world was tested on its grounds of adaptability and survival in 2020. The storm took away a lot from our lives but we stood firm against it. We grew more potent and more mindful of hygiene and health.
