The Year that wasn't but should have..

 As we reach to the close of what was rather a most eventful year in our life so far, we surprisingly want to innately remember this as a forgetful year where trauma surrounded the affected while uncertainty bloomed over all. 

Talks of nature finally healing excited optimists when in reality nature stopped healing the day when mankind began its evolution and till today remains the single largest reason why the planet is in a state of chaos. 

The endeavor of finding water on Mars concerns more than humans dying in some part of the world due to lack of clean drinking water. Climate change has become a fancy topic in debates. But the very idea of not possessing a mechanism to understand and acknowledge the problem, makes us question of how do we solve it. 

The solution might not be in making bold and decisive statements by some authoritatively superior speaker or instilling a sense of unity among all. It very much lies in collectively making those incremental changes individually.

 And the fact that urbanisation has come a long way in creating more issues rather than making an endeavor to solve the prevailing ones has made us even more harder to go back to our origin. 


Creating an image of the ''Realisation of our problems'' have taken the driver's seat rather than the issue itself. And the instances of it include all those ''Sustainability awareness programmes'' which are conducted in rooms full of air conditioners, where majority of the food getting wasted has done nothing but exacerbated the current situation. 


This year has most importantly been one of the greatest learning curves of everything that we choose to associate ourselves with and has made us nothing but prepare for what is to come next instead of just taking everything what comes at face value. 


It has made us reflect and appreciate the moments, experiences and people around that otherwise would not have been given a second thought. 

All of what has been reflected upon above may not allow you to make sense of it any as a single context and might make you wonder as to what exactly is happening and isn't that what this strange year been all about?

Looking forward to yet another year of surprises and shocks that may well be in place for humanity because remember it isn't despair that scares us, it is hope.
