THE EFFECT OF PANDEMIC ON OUR LIVES.

Whatever has striked our ears in this pandemic was mostly some form of pessimistic news. News that someone passed away, someone’s lost his job but in all this environment of pessimism what was optimistic was the health-related consciousness of people. It’s now a matter of past for many who would take one’s health lightly but not anymore.

Everyone’s routine followed a shift, a shift from refined foods to healthy cooked meals, a shift from drinking refrigerated water to boiled one. The craze of pizza and burger was done away with and that of salad and fruits before everybody’s plate was adopted. Irregular meal timings was replaced by a regular one.Proper duration of sleep for healthy lifestyle was adopted.

It’s not just that people were focused on physical health but due importance was given to mental health. People in their spare time did internships, read fiction, non-fiction, self-help books, while several others started blogging and vlogging played sports with their close ones. Meditation was a part of everyone’s schedule without which our day was incomplete.

It’s not just food but man that was drifting away from bossom one’s due to hectic work hours now found time to sit together and discuss about each others lives. Everybody enjoyed being together and getting together was interesting part of our schedule.

The Work from Home culture made servicemen and women sit in front of computer and it was similar for children who spent their maximum time attending classes online but people made time to do exercise, made time for gardening, made time to talk to neighbors.

Cleanliness and hygiene is another positive message that came from this pandemic. We see people taking interest in cleaning their house when maids weren’t available during lockdown and it wasn’t just a work of individual but whole family contributed in keeping their surrounding clean.The real message that HEALTH IS WEALTH ,CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS was adopted.

People started gardening, people started adopting animals, air became pure and lots of more positivity sprung that connected each one. The strings that were getting loose between people was strengthened during the pandemic. People used technology to get close to their distant relatives, people who never found time for their relatives were added in what’sapp groups. Video calls acted as a simile and connected people together.
Well-wishes were poured to the one’s who were ill and condolences for the one’s that saw close one’s passing away.

I don’t know when will the world recover from this ghastly virus but we as human beings have adapted ourselves to it and whenever we come out of it we would experience ourselves to be more social, more cultured and more healthy.
