This week has certainly given the nation a hefty workload to deal with, from the NHS budget and also children returning back to ‘school’. This e-school week has certainly been an experience I will envy when I go back to ‘normal’ life but I certainly am dearly missing my pals from school. As they say “grass is always greener on the other side”.
Picking up on the part of normalcy, I question these statements being made because in theory every day is a new normal. Even if we went back to life 1 year ago the normal would constantly be changing. If you look at my life now and 1 year ago they are completely different and then looking at my life today and yesterday, yesterd ay would feel abnormal.
We also have to think about the reason we call our day to day basis normal. What if this right now is normal and our lives that we call normal really are not. How is our normal deciphered. First we need to understand what normalcy really is. Normalcy is conforming to the standard or the common type meaning that it is the usual and is not abnormal. I guess that people think that right now the world has shifted into a phase of abnormal. Not having play dates and struggling to keep our fitness up is really beginning to have a detrimental effect on our race. The younger generation are finding creative and inspiring ways to help us through this difficult time for what they would have thought was boring a year ago.
However, I do not believe that this is the end for stocks and markets, I believe that this is only the beginning. This generation should consider themselves lucky. I partly enjoyed this experience as it has taught me to value even the most subtle things like a meal out or having a bed to sleep in. It has also given me more time to use the resources around me; from paints and my garden to quality family time.
Curiosity is all around us. Seek to find it. #Stay Home;Stay Safe;Protect the NHS.
Thank those workers who risk their lives for ours.

Very well written Viren. It surely is worth thinking what “normal” means.
I have discovered through this how lucky we are.
Will be great to hear from your generations perspective what you would want in the “new normal” for yourselves and your parents and their generation.
Keep up the good writing.

Such a wonderful topic and so well written once again.Here is an opportunity for us to see things differently, to see that we really are all connected and adjust our behaviour accordingly.A change in our mindsets could lay the ground work for the collective action we’ll need to deal with this global crisis. So we will someday remember this time filled with uncertainty and pain and fear as well as small moments of hope and humanity.Stay home and be safe. Lots of love and blessings galore
