100 Days of New Normal - The Current State

Almost 100 days of being impacted by the Pandemic and the current state has added a "Virtual" hue in our lives almost permanently. Where on one side a person is being cautious about the protective boundary to safeguard herself and family from the impact of virus, on other side the continuous job market volatility adds on to the anxiousness in one's life. Countries are anxious and monitoring their Unlocks of Economy and gauging the preparedness for next steps. It's a very precarious state for everybody from an individual to a country and globally.

Mental wellness, physical well-being, spiritual health, Macro economy of the country, Border situations, personal economic situation (Micro-economic health), skill enhancement and the Virtual Presence on the personal devices have captured the mood and coffee/tea talks for almost 3 months now. Journey from phases of Lockdowns to Unlocks have been a roller coaster for each and every one in there own manner. Its only about striking a conversation and we can hear ones ordeal of last few months. You hear, read and see such never ending and heart wreaking chronicles are all around us, but its a reality (sic).

With so much around, surely we have no choice but to search for some motivation, search for acts, narration of reality or even stories which can keep one high on spirits because this journey is a long one atleast till this 'New Normal' State is settled. Motivation to get one time fits all Vaccine which fights against the Virus would be a massive morale booster for all but till the panacea is zeroed down, we have to look for determination around us.

In last 100 days, Mother Nature has shown us perspective to reside well within our limits and made us re-think on the co-existing narrative with our natural adobes. The flourishing nature around us really keeps us high spirited in these challenging times and hence it is high time for homo-sapiens to get their acts (social and economic) together have a  harmonious survival ahead.

How things would turn up from now is yet to be forecasted but getting back the happiness and motivation to walk or run in this journey is surely dependent on every individual. Its critical to find little happiness around, more critical to cherish those. Rolling averages of act of kindness and cherishing & rejoicing the happiness around will surely make our current state more habitable. And this is the New Normal which should permanently settle in.
