Life has changed in many ways, beyond our thoughts we have repeatedly once in a while thought about the pandemic, no matter how much we have dismissed the fact.

The reality of today and our modified conversations

We have built in a new world around our small world, the walls and the roof have found a new version of "US"

Our Internal World

The fight is on. When we can come out of the four walls and our own internal world, when can the world again celebrate open smiles and tight hugs.....the questions?

We" may" live

We" may" earn

We "may" again resume our livelihood but in the meanwhile we are a changed lot.

The World is Changing

 THE AGE OF VIRTUAL TRIPS- “I have planned a trip to Africa’s Tropical Rain Forest”   

MAGIC TO MUSIC- Online Live music concert and the teriyaki chicken sauce…at home.

 Aunt Suzan is living her days better.  Aunt Suzan “If Music be the soul, play it online”

THE Game changer- Mr. Vora is more on games and puzzle

The board game online sets the fire in his internal world. Otherwise the world outside was frozen, cold. But honestly these are locked down lives, shut down modes, the inner struggles and battles are somewhere deep within, we owe many miseries to the Pandemic of 2020

Our Conversations are changing

Ms. Brown said, “Everyone is so cracked open right now, I’ve found it very easy to express to people how much I appreciate them and how every conversation feels like a little treat.” (quoted from Google source)

The Arguments-Pandemic Vibes

“I can believe in Elephants flying if that’s supposed to stop an argument”-Media Abused Victim

“Half of the world is cooking and the rest may come out as drunkards”- Steady Analyst

“I stand by the refrigerator to understand the internal conflicts of mind”- Dubious Soul

Goes on the conversation never ceases to stop in the internal world….the mind tricks are playing hard, the masks are for the external representation.

Internally, it’s randomly free 

Whacky Cracked Realities and our Conversations

 Birds found men in cages

 The cacophony of birds had elevated many souls in the lockdown

“I am back to wilderness”

Soul searching

 

Block party photo sessions

A group of friends wore their wedding dresses, they even had bottles popped of champagne, had gala time in their garden while wearing their white wedding dress, May be the neighbors would have cheered them and peeped from their homes, “This calls for celebration, we owe you a treat at the end of pandemic”

Corona Champs

Toilet Tissues suddenly were the most sought after product. A status they have quite desired to enjoy always.. nevertheless suffered existential crisis. Whispering from the shelves with a FLUSHING & ( BLUSHING)smile "Humans, you owe us more than your nasty ......."

 The bizarre stories of life continues

How on earth could we have imagined online schools, offices asking employees to WFH. Imagine you asking leave, Boss 

BEFORE

“Please, Monday Blues are not entertained in office so WFH is not an option.”

NOW

“Don’t think of coming to office as per the new guidelines, your home space would be furnished to give you the same feel, Monday to Friday – Courtesy us

 

The tug of war between …the two fronts dealing with  spouse or dealing with the Boss…the conversations have just been juxtaposed, the agony remains the same

 Heading to a Business meeting wearing a Bermuda and then running through the house taking up a call with a broom, the conversation have missed a coma

“I agree, let me come back to you with the presentation”

The presentation had all the glories of 500 gm. cut papers, 4 broken pencils, 7 half painted Picasso masterpiece and the left over dust and particles.

VICTIM-“Ah! This remains at the end, dust and ashes!”

The Enlightened

 Some of the conversations were all about enlightenment

Mostly all of us have by now become a crackerjack in some of the following

Cooking

Baking

Laundry

Gourmet Chef

Gardening

Art and lifestyle management

Mental Health experts

Advisors on general public health

Herbal Remedies Expert

Corona Expert

Political Analyst

And Alas!!!

Creative heads

We are trying to create better to survive, from changing livelihoods to changing conversations, at the end it's about wellness.

Last month ,Travel Assistant Manager of a Big Travel Company was given his last  pending pay slip. He  changed his conversation  “We serve better sandwiches and we maintain hygiene protocols”

The white board on the road side corner read “Coffee 20, Burger 30, and Sandwich 20”

Conversations are changing
