Covid-19 has affected everyone in every part of world. It has affected our ecosystem and changed our lives a lot. I remember I read a post on social media 2 years ago that a disease has emerged in Wuhan, China and has affected a lot of people there mainly affecting their lungs and causing difficulty to breathe. I was very sacred and prayed to God that may this terrible disease never come in our country but then later on news started circulating that it is spreading very rapidly to other countries as well and then it started to become worse and worse.
The Pandemic completely changed our lives completely, Schools and colleges got closed, Govt. imposed complete lockdown to control the spread of this deadly disease socializing was very limited and everyone was restricted to their homes and all sort of outdoor activities were sanctioned. A new perspective of life started to emerge that instead of all this advancement and development there is God that has command over everything. As a college student and a sports enthusiast, my life before lockdown was very busy especially in week days weekends were always fun when I would usually hang out with my friends and spend some quality time with my cousins and family. However, as soon as the lockdown was imposed here, Colleges got closed and all outdoor activities got cancelled. Football clubs, gyms, hotels, shopping malls, etc., were closed and thus I also had to spent my seven days a week inside my home my life completely changed and I have to follow Sop’s, wear a mask and maintain social distancing. My experience with COVID has been unlike any of my worst nightmares, because unlike a bad dream there was no waking up from this. I started to feel anxious and depressed and started to feel a lot lonely there was no ray of hope but only prayers and Dua’s. Our Exams got cancelled it was quite a relief but also a waste to a better opportunity to score highest marks. Soon this pandemic started to become a new normal in our lives I had to start my University life from home through online classes and it really downed my morale and craze of exciting University life. Then slowly this pandemic started to become new normal. Al though the pandemic has drastically affected my mental health and social life but it has also shaped my personality through positive disintegration. From being a person who had "No I won't, and you can't make me” kind of attitude to someone who has started accepting things as they are, I became more flexible and gained courage to handle things .Moreover, I had also got plenty of time at my disposal to discover myself, my potentials and great energy to accomplish my goals. This pandemic was a whole new experience in our lives and thanks to ALLAH almighty I survived this difficult phase. History will never be same because still we don’t know what future is holding for us but it is my strong belief now that we can go through any thing in life through strong belief, patience and determination.
