The Way Our Lives Should (and Will) Change
Businessworld India|14 Jan 2023
THE DREADED COVID pandemic that turned the world upside down for over two years - is knocking on our doors again! Just as we were looking forward to some normalcy in life and in fact, had set out in that direction, the new danger is unsettling us again.

The Way Our Lives Should (and Will) Change

Much has been written and discussed about how the pandemic has affected our lives, how it has ruined the economy of most countries and this debate is likely to go on for a long time.

Most of us were hoping that the socalled 'New Normal' will free us from all restrictions on travel, socialising, work, shopping, entertainment, cultural events, sports et al- and we will get back to business as usual. Sadly, it is not going to be so! 

Our Lives Will Change Drastically 

I am not an alarmist, but I seriously feel that our lives will change drastically! For example, the need to continue wearing face masks while travelling is already back and is likely to continue. We are unlikely to see big fat weddings and parties. All celebrations will see smaller crowds. Holiday cruises are bound to see reduced bookings. We have already seen that just as restrictions were lifted around the start of 2022 and most people stopped wearing masks and began travelling with a vengeance, incidents of higher positivity became evident almost everywhere. The aggressive Universal Vaccination' drive has been a great success, but it seems that Covid has no plans of disappearing even after the third booster dose.

We seem to overlook a fundamental reason for the emergence of the pandemic. We forget that it is a case of Humans encroaching upon the space meant for Animals and other species and how these species are getting dangerously close to the human habitats to reclaim the space that was theirs! Man's ever-expanding ambition and insatiable appetite for more, our wanton consumerism and unchecked desire to possess everything - greed' to put it crudely - is at the root of all this.
