Just when we thought we were done with 2020, in comes 2021. We thought at least this year can be a little kind to us but by the looks of it, nothing can be said now.
As the COVID-19 cases are surging, the country is gearing up to take precautions to avert it. Some cities are entering lockdown while some are imposing a night curfew.
Hmm, doesn’t 2021 seem like a throwback of 2020?
