By Sanjivani sharma

COVID-19 A SERIES OF VIRUS THAT NO ONE WAS AWARE ABOUT,  JUST IN SPAN OF FEW MONTHS HAVE BOUGHT A DRASTIC CHANGE TO THE WORLD. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS SHUT DUE TO COVID-19.

DEATH RATES HAVE SUCCEDEED, SOME COUNTRIES ARE HIGHLY EFFECTED TO THE EXTEND THAT HALF OF THEIR POPULATION IS GONE. THERE IS SHORTAGE OF FOOD, LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT AT A MAJOR LEVEL, ENTIRE TOURIM SECTOR IS SHUT AND ECONOMIES HAVE FALLEN DRASTICALLY. NO ONE KNEW A VIRUS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DETROY LIVES OF BILLIONS. THIS SUDDEN CHANGE IN LIVES OF PEOPLE IS NOT TEMPORARY, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL LEAVE THINGS UNCHANGED. WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS VIRUS FOREVER, AND THIS AS IT SEEMS SO EASY TO WRITE IS ACTUALLY SO DEVASTATING FOR US AND FOR OUR CHILDREN IN FUTURE. THIS CHANGE IS NOT LIMITED TO ME BUT TO THE ENTIRE GLOBE, EVERY SPECIES IS EFFECTED. BUT EXCEPTIONS ARE ALWAYS THERE, FOR SOME SPECIES MOSTLY EVERY EXCEPT HUMANS HAVE GOT A CHANCE TO FINALLY LIVE IN A BARRIER FREE ENVIORNMENT. FOR SOME COVID-19 IS A NIGHTMARE BUT FOR SOME IT’S A WAY OF NEW LIVING GRANTED FROM HEAVEN. ECOSYSTEMS ARE TAKING THEIR SHAPE AGAIN, POLLUTION RATES HAVE GONE DOWN, OZONE LAYER IS RECOVERING AND LAKES AND WATERS ARE NOW GETTING CLEANER DAY BY DAY. THERE IS CHANGE IN NATURE AND AIR THAT WE ARE BREATHING IN, BUT WE HAVE ALSO LOST MOST OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE RUNNING AFTER AND BUILDING FOR YEARS. THERE IS A FACT THAT AFTER EVERY 100 YEAR A PANDAMIC HITS AND CHANGE THE WAY OF LOOKING AND WORKING OF THINGS. SIMILARLY THIS CORNAVIRUS PANDEMEIC IS THE ONE THAT OUR GENERATION HAD TO SEE. THIS LOCKDOWN BOUGHT A VERY DIFFERENT AND AN UNUSUAL THING WITH IT AND IT WAS THE LOCKDOWN AND THE RULES DESCRIBING SOCIAL DISTANCING. NOBODY WAS AWARE ABOUT IT UNTIL THIS DAY. THE GLOBAL LOCKDOWN HAVE CREATED A HUGE IMPACT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT HAVE CAUSED PEOPLE WALKING BAREFOOT TO THEIR HOMETOWN DUE TO STIKE AT PRICES, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, LOSS OF LIVELIHOODS BUT ON THE SAME HAND IT HAVE ALSO BOUGHT PEACE AND ENLIGHTNMENT AND TOGETHERNESS IN THE FAMILIES. THEY’VE COME TOGETHER, PRAY AND EAT TOGETHER, FIGHT TOGETHER.

FOR ME COVID-19 WAS A BIT SIMILAR IN THE ASPECT OF COMING TOGETHER WITH THE FAMILY BUT IT TOOK AWAY ALL WHAT I WAS ASPIRING FOR, I WAS A STUDENT OF CLASS 2020 WHICH NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED. COLLEGE HAVE BEEN THE MOST MEMORABLE JOURNEY OF MY LIFE SO FAR AND I WANTED TO END IT SEEING AND BIDDING GOODBYE TO THE YEARS THAT HAVE CHANGED ME SOULELY. BUT UNFORTUANTELY WE GOT NO CHANCE TO DO IT, I WAS PART OF A THEATRE SOCIETY AND HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE SOCIALISING WITH PEOPLE, PERFORMING ON STREETS AND STAGE WHERE PEOPLE MEET AND GATHER AND ON SECOND HAND I WAS TAKING MY DEGREE IN TOURISM. BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS? THIS VIRUS TOOK AWAY ALL WHAT I WAS ASPIRING AND WORKING HARD FOR IN SOCIALIZING AND THE TOURISM SECTOR. THESE DAYS OF LOCKDOWN WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A BURDEN INITIALLY, BUT WHEN WE GET ONE DOOR CLOSED THE OTHER’S OPEN. IF WE CAN’T DO SOCIALIZING WE DO HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA. SOCIAL MEDIA GAVE ME A PLATFORM TO TAKE MY BLOGS AND YOUTUBE PAGE CONTENTS TO ANOTHER LEVEL, IT GAVE ME OPPUTUNITY TO LEARN MORE. I’VE BEEN PUSHING MYSELF TO FACE THE ODDS SO MUCH THAT I AM BREAKING ALL THE ODDS OF MY PAST. I’VE BEEN EATING HEALTHY AND TAKING CARE OF MY BODY, LEARNING NEW LANGUAGE AND DIGITAL MARKETING. HAVE BEEN WRITING MORE CONTENT FOR MY BLOG AND ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. THIS EMPOWERS ME TO THINK BIG AND GIVE ME MORE SCOPE TO DO AND TRY NEW THINGS IN LIFE.

CORONAVIRUS HAVE ACTED AS A CHANGE TO THE GLOBAL LIVING, IT HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF THINGS FROM US BUT HAVE ALSO GIVEN US ENLIGHTNMENT AND THE POWER TO MAKE AND DO THINGS IN A BETTER WAY. IT WAS THIS PANDEMIC THAT WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE OF EVERY HOUSEHOLD.
