That summer of 2020 we all were looking forward to. That summer of 2020 where we pledged to make it better than summer 2019- the summer body, that mid semester internship in big four and that much-awaited trekking trip with friends. But here we are locked inside “our homes”. To some of us sitting inside is akin to dungeon and then there is the half of another half, Yes I expect you to do some math fighting for us 24×7.
One hand in a bowl full of cheesy popcorn, the other scrolling through my blog and eyes swerving from Netflix to phone screens. While some hands in despair of never making back to “their homes”. These times are tough, who could have imagined such a thing happening in the 21st century where all nations are well equipped with resources and we considered ourselves immortal.
In the race of endeavoring ourselves constantly we somewhere forgot how simple life could be and it is only us who makes it tangled in judgements and prejudices. That lives cost the same for rich and poor and the feeling of gratitude should never leave one’s conscious. We always planned our days, actions and even words what to say what not to say. Well sometimes, it is better to not have a plan as life guided by the universe has its own course and goes by it. Don’t worry if you don’t have a plan for now because there exist chances for a plan to fail. And many times, to not have things planned might be the best plan. Like I planned to graduate this year.
Trust me we all are going to miss this lean period of life. Sitting with our families, eating together and away from the hard and fast life something that seemed a distant childhood memory. My feelings for the current scenario are ambivalent but one thing is certain for me that “life will never be the same for all of us after surviving a pandemic”.
Carrying my summer travel essentials by all means.
