It has always been said that the only constant in Nature is change. Owing to this ineluctable principle, we too became a victim to the pestiferous lockdown because of the novel Corona virus. Staying in our homes and becoming epicures seemed to be lucrative, but again, when we do not have something, that is when we realise its value. Soon, not doing anything turned out to be a draconian punishment in itself. But, humans have this exceptional ability to circumvent even the most gruelling of problems, and so we did! These times have made us recognise and appreciate an underrated section of our society. Doctors, nurses, police personnel, ambulance drivers, teachers, etc. Their perseverance and resilience in these times has been unparalleled. While the hospitals had a deluge of patients, doctors were swamped with their responsibilities as life tested them. These Corona Warriors had to remain away from their loved ones for achingly long periods, so that they could save the loved ones of their fellow humans. May this profound respect for them not fade away with the sands of time. For people across all professions, the lockdown has turned out to be an epiphany about the importance of their occupations and the same has been for students. While it had been hard to stay out of the doldrums, people found out many ways to avoid being enervated, many of us got the chance to revive our drying relationships with ones apparently close to us. As the pandemic will slowly fade away, our norms will change and so will our conduct and behaviour. This has been an experience the whole world can gain from. In the end, it's all about how life is not for stopping but living !
