The Ambiguous 2020

While I was whooping on the eve of 31st Dec 2019 in a glitter filled party, heartily welcoming 2020, little I was prepared to face the tagline that the year 2020 came with – Uncertainty. No one warned any of us that this might be the last social gathering we could possibly be in together or even be in the vicinity of a gang of people for that matter.

Thus began a turmoiled roller coaster ride filled with questions, forcing me and challenging me to rise above each blow – Would I be able to make peace with the fact that I can’t see the city that I adored for an entire year? Would I be okay being confined to four walls? Would I be ok not being amongst my team? And the plethora of questions each day was just piling up.

I wouldn’t lie, I had my own moments of agony and had great difficulty adjusting to the change that this 2020 put me up with. I couldn’t fight it nor control it, rather I didn’t have a choice but to accommodate to each one.

While, 2020 came up with the tagline “Uncertainty” - all of us, as fellow human beings had to come up with a tagline ourselves to counteract on this, which was “Adaptation”.

Reflecting through, my takeaway from this year would be the same, adapting to things you don’t have any say over. Not cribbing while adapting was an important facet too. I put on my best face on to each one of these situations and managed to be sane through most of them.

“Its not the strongest who survive but the one who is most adaptable to change” – this quote was resonated and worked upon as I couldn’t risk being left in the dark as the changes aren’t going to stop happening.

While we move on to 2021, (though not whooping this time ??) , I wish each and every one of you have made your peace with 2020. Let’s hope we have better moments in the many more years to come and enjoy life to the fullest. 2020 would be a constant reminder for things we craved for but couldn’t have, also making us realize the subtle nuances of life.

My moment of 2020 would be me actualizing on the fact that the only unchanging thing in life is the sheer strength and support of my family and loved ones. However, this year could have been, the best shot for me to stay sane through it all was them. And this would be never forgotten.
