Life in a Standstill

Life seems to have come to a standstill.. or is it the reverse ?

An external virus has now ensured that we all stay indoors, and spend more time doing things which we haven't done in the past few decades.

While the initial day or two took some adjustment (!?!) to be able to spend more time with our families, ourselves, most of us have now come around the corner have started establishing a schedule around it.

To think it took a virus to halt the circus, and ease out the pace... make people do things they haven't dreamt of in the past.. come to terms and appreciate what others have been doing for them, day-in day-out.... hmmm....

While I know the economy is going to suffer and there are lots of issues being faced by different parts of the society, I wonder if this standstill was required, just for us to understand what we are doing with are lives and to introspect if it is all worthwhile !!!

PS:  A big salute and standing ovation to all the doctors, police and workers who are still trudging through the day with full understanding of the risk they are taking on their own health ! No words or actions are sufficient to thank you enough !
