Throwback to December 2019, when we were all busy cribbing about the year and had already over-embellished the thought of making 2020 our year. You, yes you just let out an exasperated sigh and I felt it too. The lockdown, on the other hand, was like a much-needed break for all of us and we all saw it as a blessing, at least I did. But as time went by, we slowly realized the gravity of the thrill even in our very non-happening daily schedules; the intense hustle and bustle for the fourth non-existent seat in railway trains, bunking lectures because the canteen sofa seemed cozier than usual and those 10-minute walks from the station to college because the rickshaw driver never said yes.
The 21-day lockdown drastically turned into perpetuity of accustoming to an altogether new lifestyle. The salons are now going to be a source of entertainment as some of us will be getting a haircut after eternity while the other half will be fixing their ‘sibling-driven hair-cuts’. Wearing the perfect mask that blends perfectly with the outfit is going to be the new fashion trend for influencers. Maybe our mothers are finally going to normalize wearing pajamas to college as our jeans won’t find a way out of the closet anytime soon. The plain black snaps on Snapchat with nothing but the date and time will finally go back to being pizzas and french fries. Meanwhile, the ‘Stay Home, Stay safe’ Instagram stories and virtual birthday bingos are slowly diminishing behind the small yet wholesome get-togethers of close friends and family. We may have lived the life of a thousand other characters (thanks to Netflix and e-books), but it is time we step out of our houses and live our own.
