Adieu 2020
Finally, 2020 ended. This year will be long remembered for the Covid-19 pandemic. The death and destruction brought by this pandemic are unimaginable.
On the professional front, this year was good for me. 28th December was the last working day for me with my previous organization. For submitting the laptop and all other last day formalities I visited Mumbai.
I am an emotional person but contrary to my expectation, I wasn’t emotional on my last day. It’s probably due to the fact that we all are working remotely from 8–9 months because of the pandemic. Probably absence of people, whom you know, at the point of separation, decreases the sadness. In fact, the last time when my friend left the organization, I was sad for many days. But I didn’t felt anything like this for myself.
Before the pandemic, one of my friends gifted me a plant (on the left side in the below picture). I visited my hometown in march and due to lockdown, I couldn’t go to Mumbai. I was worried that It would be dried out in 8–9 months. I am essentially a conservative, I want to conserve every little thing/gift/detail/conversation that is related to my favorite people. During my Mumbai visit, I came to know that my room owner relocated this dying plant to another pot (on the right side in the below picture) and It was healthy. I am very happy now because my plant is alive and kicking!
On the personal front, this year was really really tough for me. I lost my Nana Ji on 25th June. Sometimes I feel that after the age of 23–24 we begin to see that one by one our loved ones are leaving us. Then again, the whole month of December was not good for me. In fact, it was the most emotionally turbulent period for me. Hopefully, 2021 will be better.
