Underrated Normalcy

 

PC: Google

There was a time when people used to crib about "routine". (Don't worry you are not alone) I also never used to like :(  We all underrated the value of doing things in a routine so much that now routine is angry with us.

With the Pandemic bringing the world to a standstill and uncertainty looming large over our heads now all the time I wonder how underestimated routine was. Now with everyone cooped up at home and all the time #stayathome now we understand and realize the value of small things in life.

First being maskfree. Never thought we would have to keep our faces covered. A simple smile that we plaster when we see a acquaintance/ friend, the hifi we gave and the pat on head for the kids lovingly, everything seems like a distant dream and another era. The basic need to roaming or going for a walk or eating at a roadside thela without any worries , outing with friends and shopping in crowded places all now seem like a luxury.

Now this has so much become a routine that now i wonder how and what I used to do when the kiddo and hubby were out for most hours of the day?? I seem to have forgotten that routine. Will those days come back? Maybe yes but at what cost and when we don't know.

Till then let the new routine continue.
