Ever wondered you'll be having this plenty of time where you would be watching the blue sky and embrace its
beauty, that beautiful sunset from our terrace would be one of the most satisfying things to see and the peaceful
moonlight from our windows a treat to watch! Or get that much time to spend with our families playing
carrom, ludo and making new dishes with them. Ever thought we'll care about our hygiene. We are sanitizing
every hour, maintaining social distance and wearing masks for hours. No, we had never gone through it, and
we shall not go again. But I think the habits COVID has given us should last long. Eating healthy, doing
physical activities, we are taking care of our health like never before. Students who were always busy in their
day-to-day schedule, the school then tuitions, co-curricular and after the day full of tensions and exhaustion,
the nights with eyes on blues (mobile phones). Now they are getting time to search for themselves, creating
new interests and hobbies like paintings and music and many other things—also, our parents who were busy
the whole day and sleep without having a conversation at night. We got to spend time with them exploring love.

Starbucks turns to Homemade coffee. We are more on the handmade coffee, which tastes even better than that
of luxury coffee shops. Some learn to cook for themselves. Some know to make fast food, and some even
turned out to be a chef. Online Classes or I'll say the new normal. It was a bit further for us initially, but now we
all have gotten used to this new method of learning.

And most importantly, amidst all this chaos in the outside world, we had to maintain the peace inside us." Hope
is a good thing”. And we had to keep that within us looking forward to our future. Because Having a positive
mindset is a way to live a happy life. Finally, the conclusion is that it was and is dependent on us. For someone,
COVID turns out to be something that came like a tsunami and destroyed everything, and now he can not do
anything, But for someone, it turns to be an opportunity that he/she was waiting for a long time /she can work
upon himself. COVID changed everything. Like we all change, this world has also changed. And it is upon us
how we adapt. And that would be the key to our future path.
