FESTIVALS AMID THE PANDEMIC
The pandemic has been the most spoken topic since almost 2 years. The pandemic that arrived in the form of covid-19 virus bringing a day of lockdown on march 21st 2020, unexpectedly, it locked us in homes for months and months. Nobody was allowed to leave their houses, work from home, study from home became an integral part of our lives. Amid all these, we had to celebrate festivals as well and that too without leaving homes. Everything became difficult, markets collapsed, people were unemployed and most importantly depressed. It was a tough time for all of us but still we had managed to be happy and accepted the fate.
We celebrated staying at home with our closed ones without much exposure. But it had it's own pros and cons. We managed to heal the environment, we couldn't invite relatives from far, but we celebrated with neighbors and fed the poor people around to a much larger extent. Instead of spending thousands on outfit, we decided to save some money and help the people who can't even afford food.
The festivals amid this pandemic taught us many real values on how to live life. We suffered but what we learnt from it, cannot be learnt from any book because it was something we saw, we experienced.
