Dear n respected friends n reader/viewers of my blog, Diwali, this year, is a bit different as we all know what a year it’s been due to Covid-19. We all have gone through the initial sense of shock, then anger, alarm, and at that juncture acceptance of this global pandemic. Amidst this pandemic, there’s a bit of sadness, of restraints, and acceptance of the ‘New Normal’. Hence, Diwali 2020 would be slightly different as the pandemic is still in our minds, our outlooks about home, our friends, our official duties and work which have in turn undergone a remarkable shift. I honestly wish that this Diwali-2020 will bring some relief from the gloom that the Covid-19 pandemic has brought to all of us. Wishing you a gleam of diyas, echo of holy chants, contentment and happiness today, tomorrow and forever! Have a happy, prosperous and safe Diwali, 2020.
