WHAT HAPPENED IN THE YEAR 2020?

The streets were empty while hospitals were full. Positivity was locked fear, was unlocked. Work from home was open offices were closed. Restaurants were there but, the customers were not. Festivals came but remained uncelebrated. Loved ones were near, but social distancing made us far. Rumors were accepted, while facts were ignored. And last but not least, life was rare, death was common. This was how the year 2020 was.

“ A year ago, everything was different. And now that we look back, we realize that a year can do a lot to a person. ”
