Covid dairies

 Dear all

In my series 'so much being said about COVID' I continue with some interesting observations...

Everyone is talking about lessons learnt, but it is typical of me to talk of 'unlearning' as its my favourite topic.

Have we realised that we dont need to move around so much? Its not so important to shop or do window shopping! There is no need to buy so many outfits to live happily. To look presentable you dont need a salone haircut, and last but not the least yummy dishes can be made at home and ole' everyone can cook!

Have you noticed that although viral jokes were about people becoming obese, most lost weight. Many became calmer and composed instead of being depressed, and a lot many of us now realise that we were running around for practically nothing! Everything can be achieved with simple and little but concerted effort.

We all unlearnt popping in pills for all reasons whether we require them or not. We realised for small ailments we dont need a doctor. We got over alarms thank God, ( although most of struggle with our sleep cycles coz we forgot to sleep peacefully). 

In all we have unlearnt our old stressful ways of meeting life with excess, which made us run after something that was not only unnecessary, but also futile.

The challenge now is can we stick to the lessons unlearned, or would we be stereotypical in 'learning' again like basic beings...the ball is in our court.

Your comments and observations are welcome!
