4 years since Covid started. What are your memories from that time? How have you evolved since?
It's been 4 years since covid started and all of us went into the first lockdown (24 March 2020). I just thought of this while making another post, and this has actually taken me aback. It was such a crazy time, and now it's just long gone.
-
We got a lot of time to be home, to be around loved ones, most of us are privileged and hence Covid wasn't bad at all. We were mostly making Dalgona Coffee, sourdough bread, playing PUBG, watching movies, etc.
-
A lot of us also lost loved ones. It was really brutal for those who did. And it was always scary for the rest of us.
-
Most of us who have been in tech saw our salaries climb the fastest. The absolute peak job market, best hikes, the world was very positive in that sense - not as much work and enough pay to enjoy
-
The biggest thing I've noticed: Covid got me hooked to Instagram/YT Shorts/and other social media. I feel like I used to be more aware and awake before covid. Somehow, a lot of exposure to social media/content etc. has made me just very zoned out in life. I think a lot of us have a much shorter attention span.
IDK if this is true, but certainly feels like it is true.
Just penning this down because I'm genuinely tripping how long it's been.

Pre & Post Covid me are different person.
I don't know that guy now. And for some reason it looks like a decade has passed by yet the lockdown announcement on news just rings like as if it was yesterday. "bhaiyo beheno ..."
What I miss was empty roads. Blue skies of Delhi and pin-drop silence 24/7. Only rustling leaves and birds. For a moment the world looked at peace. The sun was fantastic back then.
I am fortunate to be at this end of spectrum as others have disastrous circumstances. One thing I'm noticing since then. The time seems to be running abnormally fast now.
Like zipp! 3 months of 2024 gone.

What I remember-
Watching BR Chopra’s Mahabharat
Washing vegetables with warm saline water for 30-40 mins.
Wearing PPE kit in workplace
Driving on empty roads with essential services sticker on the car
Arranging remdisivir injections for my boss
Playing cards and Jenga
Losing a few schools friends to Covid
Washing hands 20-30 times a day
Since Covid a lot has changed. I was privileged to not have any major impact on mine or my loved ones life.
Since Covid - I became an avid book reader Stopped biting nails Switched and Started earning more

The Paradigm shift, according to me during COVID, was how the interviews were taken. Jumping the company before COVID was a tedious task. During COVID and now, almost everything happens in home on a teams/zoom/Google meet calls and even laptop and other stuffs were shipped directly to home. That is one change I really appreciate and love. Also, I definitely agree with all other positive points shared by OP.
