Twenty-Twenty

Twenty-twenty - referred to the shortened form of the Cricket match and due to the shortened form, change in rules too.

I guess that's what has happened with this year - It has shortened the year of being outside the house, and hence changed the rules of your life.

So we are supposed to stay in our homes and stay safe, when you go out wear a mask, when you come back wash yourself thoroughly and take all precautions to not touch your eyes, nose and mouth!

Do it like the cleanliness freak - because this is twenty-twenty , rules are changed! (the Cleanliness freak are dipping Icecream boxes in Dettol water and then eating dettol flavoured icecreams ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

If you have a vehicle - just keep it working, don't drive around.. if not the virus, the police will catch you, and then you may feel, virus was a better catch! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

When you out for essentials shopping, get ready to be overcharged for vegetables "Supply hi nahi ho raha hai " and then you think, we need to help this for the poor vegetable vendor (who may have been a cheating rikshawala in 2019) to earn his daily wages. The rule that if he is a drunkard he will take the money, buy alcohol, and then beat up his family probably hasn't changed.

 If you were the person, trying to find the best deal for any item, you will have to go with the changed rules and buy what is available at the current price because - its twenty-twenty , rules are changed!

If you had plans for an overseas vacation, a local getaway, or celebrating your loved one's birthday at a nice location, you may have to make do with the home because - its twenty-twenty , rules are changed!

Some one has said : We were dying to earn for our homes, but when it came to stay home, we are dying to go out !

But All the lockdown around may result in a lot of job-losses everywhere, the gloom of despair is not spreading its wings.
At this time - what we need is "The Cheerleader's Dance" It doesn't change anything, but for cheers you up for a while, and gives the players a minute to breathe and re-focus!

Re-focus on priorities, on what needs to be done and what was never!
Re-focus on essentials, what is required and what was never!
Re-focus on the new world that is emerging and unlearn the old !

This is twenty-twenty , rules are changed - So we have to play differently !
