2020 has been one kind of a year. 2020 in my childhood dreams would have been the year a grand country-wide celebration was held, there would be flying cars and skyscrapers everywhere. Well, we’re not THAT far off.
But in reality, it’s been a year the whole world had a moment to pause the usual routine. Change things up a ‘little’. Wasn’t a great year for me as there were so many changes, it got to the point where I’m numb to the changes. Bad for my faculty and students as they find it difficult to cope with it.
But what is this in comparison to the sacrifices others have? Our frontliners? Those whose industry literally collapsed?
Having thought of these things, there really isn’t much to say about my birthday but rather perhaps a moment of silence to acknowledge the suffering so many are going through. How apt it is that Christmas is around the corner because once upon a time, some thousand years ago, a nation was also facing its own kind of challenges and hope arrived, in the form of a humble baby, born to be the world’s Saviour and King.
This is what the world needs right now.
