A new year like never before

Last night didn't seem like the year-end we have been used to. It was like any other day. And quiet too. Police had banned crowds of more than three people on the streets. So, the streets were largely deserted. And therefore, no mass revelry. There were no fireworks nor honking of car horns.

2020 was also a year of learning

not to take nature for granted (a microscopic virus can leave millions dead in a year)
the importance of good health (the dangers of comorbidities)
of our inherent ability to adapt and survive (lifestyles changed but life went on, new ways of conducting business)
about cleaner environment (lesser carbon emission)
to distinguish between what is essential and what is not (eating out, travel, social visits)

Here's wishing you all a 2021 that will be better in every way -- fruitful, peaceful, healthier, happier!
