2020- Was it all that bad?

 Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy todays blog. Feel free to write any feedback/ comments in the comments section. 

The year 2020 started off with welcoming the year in. People partying and thinking it’s going to be just ‘another’ year, but little did we know what was going to come up was a set of challenges for everyone. Starting in March the virus hit us, and a nationwide lockdown was declared. On the 20^th of March we all locked our doors and stayed in our homes till any further notice. Those months filled me up with boredom since there was nothing to do, but this was all going to change. Excited about stepping into the senior school, those plans got cancelled but then we got a mail telling us that we will be having online school and we would finally get to meet our teachers. This modem of having school taught us a lot, from how to submitting assignments to even using the class notebook. Having nothing to do all day, this lockdown also gave me the opportunity to start my blog, I was spending time writing blogs on different topics than just watching TV. Then came the summer vacations which was not vacations at all. We were at home spending time together as a family which if you ask me, now days is rare. When the four phases of the lockdown were over, an unlock was declared but that didn’t mean that we now had access to everything, it just meant that we were allowed to step out of the house. The unlock had six phases and probably on the fifth phase, everything was open. The unlocks gave many people the opportunity to renovate or paint their houses. Now I feel that no one can disagree with the fact that the environment has been cleaned. The rivers, canals or even the air. To conclude I just want to say, that the year 2020 has not been all that bad. It has had a big impact on us but the impact on things other than us is the largest.
