Here in Nepal the lock down imposed due the the global pandemic has taken a huge toll on the lives of people. As a developing country with a huge poverty rate, the aftermath of this lock down looks scarier to me.
And just when we thought that things couldn’t get any worse Nepal has gotten into a territorial dispute with India. Things seem to be getting out of hand for us at the moment. The politicians are doing their parts i guess. Wish i had more insights about all this issue but i don’t.
People are furious and confused at the same time. Here we were just getting used to the life in a lock down and this whole new situation appeared.
Times are difficult and most of us are unemployed with no stability and no promise of a better tomorrow. With all the things going on, i hope everyone is taking care of their mental health. The stress and anxiety that this pandemic has caused is very tough on some people and i just hope they feel better. But i believe that we will get through this soon.
There will come a time when we will all think of this time and share our experiences. Each one of us has experienced this lock down differently. We have realized that not everyone is lucky to be locked in their comfortable homes with their families. Some of us had to stay alone, hungry and away from loved ones. Some had to walk miles to get to their homes without transportation and accommodation. Some of us might have gone through serious stress and anxiety. Some of us had to go through some other struggles.
Whatever we have experienced will make us all wiser and more empathetic towards each other. And these stories of our personal struggles will be life long lessons that will never be forgotten.
