The Unprecedented Times

I am writing this blog post, almost after 6 full months.
When we entered the month of Christmas last year, it was filled with hope, joy and much anticipation for the new year.
Even the new year brought in many aspirations to life. We started discussing about our resolutions and new ways of doing things. Everything had much hope and positivity. As the months rolled by, we started hearing the news of some virus spreading across China.

I remember discussing such topics in office, we discussed about pandemics, epidemic, and other words which were taking a new meaning. We laughed about the virus, make jokes, and even had fun at the cost of people.

Soon did we realize that it going to affect the whole world. Now, 6 months into the new year, it feels like we have almost lived through 6 years (each month passed as a year).
The entire world is under the spell of the virus and there is no vaccine available till date. Governments also have washed off their hands about this and are asking people to take care of themselves.

Who would have thought that we would have to go through so many things within a span of 4 months?
Who would have thought that the world would become so paranoid. ?
Who would have thought that we would become so cautious that we start doubting our own shadow?

Yes, these are the Unprecedented times!
