How the New Normal Lifestyle Post-Pandemic Can be Dealt With...!!

Pandemic and New Normal Lifestyle

Life on this globe of Earth has taken a 360-degree turn after the arrival or the sudden sprout of the pandemic in the form of Covid-19. Firstly, it emerged from China and people thought that it would be a regional thing. But how it took the world in its wraps during the first quarter of 2020 was a disaster, horrific, terrifying and in fact, had shaken the whole human psyche. It was thought that the pandemic would be over and people will overthink about their daily life matters, behaviors, compassion towards other inhabitants on earth would have been changed. 

But all thoughts of optimism and a motivation to build a positive structure of the world have long vanished. With two years of coronavirus, having continuously in our lives with mutation and new fears and lockdowns has proved that it will stay. But what has really changed is the uncertainty of goals, the rise of inflation, unemployment in every part of the world. Crime and violence have risen and humanity is draining more of our individual and collective socio-cultural values. This is the new normal lifestyle, and if we see how much the fear of sudden sickness, contagious diseases being caught and death has made us different. The new normal societies see remote learning and online jobs as the top priority. 

As the cinemas had always been the greatest delight in the whole world have been closed for most of the times. The medium of television and social media is ruling. Now the famous production houses are more focused on making web series, dramas, seasons and movies to be shown on different online portals with some set monthly payments like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney, Zee5, and many more in our part of the region are most popular. 

Now we haven't seen a world of class, wisdom, and of intellect as being learned and taught. We see Facebook, Instagram, Snap Chat, TikTok, Snack Video, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and many others taking the hold of human minds and hearts. WhatsApp has been a medium of communication and an alternate of meeting and sharing our thoughts and emotions. See, the digital world is swift, normal, and the way of life. Okay! it is really important to adopt new ways of communication, and that too is necessary. 

But why have we lost the time to spend with our parents, family, and kids. Why do people of the same family are sitting with each other but don't catch the emotions of others? It is because everyone is busy chatting with someone over the communication apps on their cell phones, tablets, and laptops. The friendship word has lost its meaning and it is only applicable when we are having our free time, and who is willing to chat with us at that moment. There might not be mental compatibility, a thought-provoking share of ideas, emotions and to let others feel comfortable. We are actually more into mental disorders of our own, and face the same from around us. The new normal after the post-pandemic is all full of anxiety, stress, panic, and selfishness. 

It is high time to ponder over what we are doing and how things are working in our favor and for our loved ones. It is time to find some space for artificial gadgets and online platforms. To interact and communicate with each other. To meet and greet our family and friends and to console the hurting souls. To feel the pain of the loss of others, and to try to live a life as organic as possible. It is time to get attached to Earth again, to nourish and cultivate fresh breeze, food, and deep-rooted emotions again like olden times.
