Assalam u alikum , everyone.
Last year has had a huge impact on all of our lives. We were all sitting at our homes, enjoying our times, adhering to our routines when suddenly a pandemic news broke out. Like most of the people, I didn't take it seriously at first and even thought it's got nothing to do with us.I thought it’s just a trending news and it will disappear after a while. That time, I was preparing for my Inter exams. I was careless until the first case of the corona virus broke out in my country. I got scared a bit. After a few cases, our whole country was on lockdown. It was a quite awful time. Everything was closed. People locked themselves in their houses, there was a terrible silence on streets.
Business of people went down. Economy went down. Many people got jobless. Many people lost their work. Everyone had to sit at home. The rich class wasn't much affected, but the poor who were already facing a pandemic of poverty, had to face this pandemic as well, hardening their lives much more than they already were. What's a surprise? Pandemics always affect the poor. The rich can sit at home waiting for things to get better. The poor can't. They need work to support their miserable lives. What a disaster it is for them.
My exams got canceled due to Covid-19. I wasn't disappointed because I thought it was better for me ,as I had a teenage mindset. I was happy to think that know I can enjoy a lot without any restriction, but the whole situation went into the contradiction of my thoughts. As I started to experience the lockdown, I came to know that it’s a disaster which brought me towards the consequence of social isolation. We can’t meet our friends , beloved ones and it also affected badly on our mental health along with physical fitness. The first week of quarantine was totally spent in boredom as it’s my first experience. To overcome this boredom I sterted watching drama series , which wasted my time a lot. In spite of these bad impacts quarantine also brought some good changes in my life. This corona virus situation allowed me to spend much time with my family and also discussed the experiences of our lives .I had a good time with my relatives too. This pandemic also kind of helped me in finding my path and what I want to do for my future.
A big setback for me is that it made me very lazy. Lack of activity had a big impact on my body and mind. I couldn't even study when I started my university due to the laziness this pandemic brought in my life. And to be very honest, I'm still struggling a little in my routine and activity. But as they say, every test in our life comes with some positivity and negativity. It had both positive and negative effects on me. On the dull side, my effectiveness and ability got damaged. But on the bright side, I got much time to spend with my family and for finding my own way of life. My own way to success and my straight path to future. In the end I just wanted to get my normal routine life back.’ I pray to Allah Almighty that May He put this pandemic to an end !’.
Yours truly,
