NOT SO NORMAL-TO-OKAY IT’S NORMAL IS - “NEW NORMAL”
PEEP OF DAY IS SIGN OF BRAND NEW DAY FOLLOWED BY SAME OLD ROUND OMITTING SUNDAY…
From Snooze-Snooze-Snooze to turning off the alarm; Waking up, organising stuff, maintaining to-do lists and rushing towards the ROOM not so comfy place to rest but still called “RESTROOM” majorly used for ADLs; Up next drinking a glass which is filled to the brim of none other than: morning detox drink OR apple with plain milk on dinettes only if good with clock which is more of few and far between type scene; otherwise it’s like “meals on wheels” enjoyed with music on the way to work field. Greeting in the Meeting, completing the tasks allotted by adjusting oneself on the chair which creaks throughout the week which makes you freak; but before you speak… your peer shows you sneak peak of the consequences of losing your mind at work place and getting replaced. Oh!!! look Break-Break-Break tea or coffee break after lunch break is much needed break to keep oneself motivated and awake to work at not so exciting place. Clearing table filled with files, papers and pens is green signal for leaving office on time otherwise it’s overtime which is not fine. Reaching one’s place and relaxing in peace leaving message on the door saying: “DO NOT DISTURB” please (subscript) is part of day which is hectic.Dining and chilling with family is the best feeling at the end of the day. Anyway… Again alarm rings-it is snoozed-and turned off... As it is very well said that: TEMPORARY IS ONLY PERMANENT There is no fun in doing things once they become convenient, and so here we step into the world where we never thought that someday some virus will become super-duper viral and will get a title ”COVID-19” with no antiviral.
Life has changed in 360degree everybody started being more aware of MENTAL and PHYSICAL healthcare and on top of that people started focusing on SELFCARE. Who thought that streets will be flooded with people wearing face shield on the way to their work field; Who thought that pocket sanitizers will replace pocket kerchiefs; Who thought that while stepping out of the house before stepping into footgear people will wear facemask for real. Visiting doctor wearing PPE kit when you were not fit; hanging out with friends was nowhere under permit; attending the weddings via zoom meeting where Bride and Groom both on screen would barely fit in to take blessings from family introducing the concept of virtual gifting; playing online games and connecting with fam-jam was considered lit; meeting people and greeting them with message: “GET WELL SOON” was completely considered as threat for one’s immune; switching from junkie-monkey to healthy-wealthy for quality of life was considered as adjusting from abnormal to “NEW NORMAL”. Adjustment is defined as the process that looks different for most people:It may be linear or not well-defined, but in real it is the: BEST GEM TO DIG FOR. At point some people may find themselves in a survival mode.. Might not just think once but twice before stepping on the road… Leaving family behind for helping and protecting others fam-jam is real bold… Which was some where required for life to reload. When UNIVERSE unpleasantly surprised us with COVID and certainly things changed from being “ABNORMAL TO NEW NORMAL” there were many thing which changed and considered to be NEW NORMAL: Three year kiddo getting ready- holding books in one hand-logging in to lappy for online class with glass of milk in other hand; Work from home which co-occur with lo-fi songs or some other band; Spending time and playing games with mom and dad; Binge watching series and making insta reels became new fad; Enjoying vacations which were unplanned; Most importantly Cooking-Dancing-Writing-Drawing-Singing irrespective of your gender when stuck in boredom or feeling sad; Working out for getting that perfect pout in selfies which you take when you are glad; Avoiding high calorie food which is canned; Practising social distancing while shopping and bills are paid easily on click when the QR code is scanned. The situation is both uncertain and temporary!! Better not to worry as it’s okay not to feel okay at times... It’s also okay to seek help and support sometimes… NEW NORMAL IS NEW FORMAL WHERE WE MOVED FROM: Formal HELLO to Informal YO! “EVERYTHING IS UNCERTAIN” the only moral though... We have been taught by COVID-19 wave 1-2-3 in tow….
