We are at the mere half
of the year, yet, it has paved ways to predicaments that we wished were simply fleeting
jests and to a lot of self-realizations. 2020 for sure has changed not just the
drop of a life we have, but the whole ocean that we are a part of. The current
situation has led, for some, to an existential crisis and a question of
productivity, or for others, a dismal path and worse, a loss of a significant
other. So, here I am writing a feature which has been long overdue to instill
some sense of normalcy, if there such a thing nowadays. I miss creating
content. I miss the laidback dinner banter with friends. I miss the routines of
humdrum experiences and quotidian learnings. The notions of “back to normal” or
“business as usual” are perhaps far from possible since, given the
circumstances, there will be no going back. There is only the new normal.
