This is what the pandemic taught me..

The world busy with its own daily routine slowly came to a halt when the worldwide crisis popped up. The COVID-19 pandemic not only turned the world's economy upside down but also it hampered the lifestyle of mankind. But on having a closer look at the current scenario, we humans can happily conclude that this lockdown has benefited all of us in one or the other way. The most vital habit we learnt during this period is the importance of personal as well as public hygiene and sanitation. It's importance had always been understood by the society but was never implemented to serve as a purpose. This pandemic highlighted it for the society to gain a perspective for hygiene standards. We have always been occupied with our work loads neglecting the need for our healthy well being. This period of quarantine gave us the opportunity to pay proper attention to our health issues and maintain a proper diet. Our hobbies and likes regained their once lost charm. Many people who never believed they will ever be able to cook became 'the best cook' in their families! We learnt to respect the people we possess in our lives and tried to understand them on a very different level. Also, family members came closer and developed a healthy bonding. Friends who had lost contact long ago were now just a phone call away. We came to know that patience is all we need during this time of crisis. Nevertheless, we all hope of the day when the world will be back to its way of life overcoming this pandemic.
