Indeed, this pandemic has taught us a lot of things. Like the situation of lockdown is like someone was playing melt-freeze with earth and the theif suddenly said FREEZE! And lo and behold! Everyone's supposed to stay right where they are, and not move at all!?
Social distancing, quarantine, and lockdown really cut off our sources of daily entertainment, our friends or colleagues. Ironically only when we don't have them by our side, we realize that all of us took them for granted. Still, shit happens, but life goes on! You can't possibly stop that?
My little events of joy are my online classes, when i atleast get to hear my friend's voices and/or faces.
Of course barring the scool courses, the tuitions are somewhat fun. Zoom app (they really hit a jackpot) has enabled me to at least feel closer somehow to my pals. Only this afternoon many of my friends and me made a zoom meeting, and we chatted with out videos and microphones on.
It was a chaos, to say the least. But it was also really fun and joyful at the same time. Everyone was talking altogether and then all of us had to shout.
I even ended up muting all of them, just to make myself heard!
I felt like i was back in my normal life including my tuitions and school classes. With headphones on, it really felt like i was sitting in a class.
And during these days, when you immensely miss your friends and want to hug them and never let go, a zoom meeting is the best way to feel with them.
All of it feels so surreal yet cruelly YES, it's happening at the same time. It's like we're holding a breath for a long time.
But don't fret, don't be sad
Don't be hopeless, don't be mad.
Spend lots of time with your dad,
Even if he's on Earth,
Or a place better than that.
Play with your siblings,
Take out your old toys.
Make and eat dumplings,
And enjoy little moments of joy.
There will come a time, when we get to release this breath,
When we'll be safe and sound, and our protectors will be bestowed with wreaths.
That's all! Till then, Stay home, Stay safe, help the unfortunate however you can, and remember
WE ARE FIGHTING THE DISEASE, NOT THE DISEASED. TREAT THEM LIKE HUMANS IN NEED, HUMANS INDEED.
Adios people! Take care!
