Bright Side of the Pandemic

 Though this is not how we imagined this year would be , here it is. This horrific year is finally coming to an end. What with the deaths of lakhs of people , among which were many renowned people , this year's been a mess. But , as the saying goes "Everything happens for a reason , so always look at the brighter side' , this pandemic really did some good. Starting right from us, the lockdown made us realize many things. Firstly , we got more time for ourselves. One thing we discovered is that we can spend more time with our family and friends chatting , laughing , playing games and having fun , instead of going to theaters or malls every weekend. This lockdown changed our idea of entertainment . Also , we got more time to monitor ourselves . We asked ourselves , is this what we wanna do? Is this the right career? Is this my dream job? And many more questions , which otherwise would have never occurred to us. We cherished our hobbies. Our work achieved speed and productive innovation. Though all of us really miss getting back to our offices or colleges , we realized that 'work from home' is also a good option. The environment responded positively to this lockdown too. The ozone layer , which was depleting , is recovering at a steady rate. Pollution levels are coming down .Lush greenery is spreading all over. Now that everything is recovering , we can't wait to step out. Our hearts can't stop singing,

" A whole new world ,

  That's where we'll be,

  A thrilling chase , a wondrous place ,

  For you and me!!"
