Change the way of life

Today, as we live self-confined and cover our faces with mask, the world looks clueless. The ‘numbers’ just do not justify global health actions and preparedness. Our doings fail the test of time and scientific arguments seem to fall flat against the COVID-19 pandemic. All these years we couldn’t see this coming! Take it as a wake-up call or an opportunity to get things right and change ways to build a more sustainable future with safe, secure and resilient systems in harmony with the nature. A century gone by – as the world again stands at the same cross-roads of a global health crisis – life beckons for THE NEW NORMAL.

Stepping into a new year – 2020 – we are caught on the wrong foot? For once, beyond anything but life, the threat is common and people around the world are ‘forced’ to follow and practice the same lifestyle. The world is in ‘lockdown’, people are maintaining ‘social-distancing’,  ‘self-isolation’, ‘stay-at-home’, ‘wear-face-mask’, as safety global interventions to break the coronavirus chain. The pandemic has exposed that our ‘road to the future’ is not sustainable and it has ‘split wide open’ our global public health systems and preparedness to deal with a health crisis.

At present, THE NEW NORMAL, is a global challenge to deal with life with suitable solutions and outcomes. The pandemic has already brought in behavioral changes in daily routines to make for adjustments in life. Personal and professional life will not be the same. Guess what? People have begun to bend their ways to lead a protected, safe and healthy life for a secure future.

Home shall be the ‘center’ of life with ‘virtual’ in-person interactions and works. An inheritance of the coronavirus pandemic – social distancing, stay at home, work from home – is the new normal and shall continue unchanged. The world is going to be digitally connected with new venues of ‘virtual’ co-existence, functions and operations in different spheres, fields and sectors of life-work system.

For years to come, ‘sustainable’ will be the practice mode for any call for action and building a symbiotic relation with nature will be the way of life. THE NEW NORMAL will reset our lives. We will have to change the ways we do things – state governance, social networking and services, economic activities, businesses and office work, health and environment management, educational learning – to build an effective global system to cope with such pandemic crisis.

Live with it THE NEW NORMAL way!
