The Covid Archives: Unlocking the Lessons of Lockdown

Lessons learnt and way forward.

- Neha Bhatia

Transformation never came without some prior destruction. And as it appears after the Covid-19 breakdown, Mother Nature must have vowed to restore the balance and harmony of the planet that this gigantic destruction was initiated and witnessed by the entire specie of humanity.

As much as it has magnified our worst fears of life's uncertainties, the Covid-19 lockdown has also thrown light on some of the simplest-yet-greatest of things life has endowed us with, most of which, tend to roll under the shadows while we are busy running on the routinely treadmills of our lives.

Now, even though the day-to-day life seems to gain pace once again, the life which was prior to the start of lockdown looks like no more or less than a dream or a remote memory from some past life, washed away, as if, in the flick of a brushstroke.

The spasmodic proliferation of the virus has unwittingly revealed some of the biggest gaps and cracks in the former lifestyles, thereby, devising a new way of life to the entire humanity. There are lessons to be learned. There are changes to be acted on. And a lot more.

Many a times, most of us mortals are likely to postpone checking-off the items in our bucket lists, primarily, until the arrival of something called as the right time.

Whether or not there is a holiday, a day off or a festival, we keep on waiting till some point in time when everything about everything in our life will be perfect enough to do the things we enjoy.
