The year 2020 has been an unpredictable ride through the pandemic and many more difficulties due to Covid-19 that had made living life quite hard for people across the world. Many have lost loved ones; many are struggling to survive. Many feel sad, scared, frustrated and broken. Many of us felt isolated in our social distancing. Apart from all such negativity and various issues still many found meaning and connection with younger generations as well older generations. We connected and reconnected with friends, relatives and colleagues across cities and became accustomed to adopting work from home by synchronizing our self by adopting various technologies be it Zoom calls or Team Meetings or What’s app or FaceTime calls.
People got fear and struggling in going out to enjoy and relish their favorite food like they used to do on their special occasions or weekend. Even food industry was struggling, but they step up and food industry got awesomely creative to enforce social distancing and safety hygiene standards to win the consumer trust. They not only win the trust back but also ensured all check and balance in place for food safety. They re-engineered the wheel and started contactless delivery, kerbside delivery and implemented new standards for dine-in and take away. Winning consumer back to restaurant was a big challenge but we all sail through this as well.
While at home all the time online Ludo was super hit among the family members and so is some other games. People were missing going to cinema halls but than through various OTT platforms launched for watching movies, serials and series. People also started taking the fitness seriously and ensured to live up the mantra as “Fit Hain to Hit Hain”.
We never witness AQI level as good as it was during the pandemic as nature started healing and sightings of wildlife have increased worldwide. Reduction in air pollution gave the planet a chance to rejuvenate. Increased hygiene and social distancing practices have reduced the instances of other medical problems like seasonal flu. A hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine see the medical breakthroughs. People have taken a new perspective on daily activities such as cooking or those odd jobs that have been putting off. They find joy in spending time making something nice for the loved ones. We became more independent and more confident during these tough times.
So now, as we embrace the upcoming year, 2021, let us all be positive and cheery with shining spirits and aspirations for the future. We should vow to not let the negative times affect us in looking forward to the future and working hard to achieve our dreams and ambitions. So, let us all embrace the new year with much-needed hopes and happiness. As the entire world around, us grows older by a year, I hope you possess a heart that remains as youthful and cheerful as always.
