2020: ERROR 404

Writer's picture: Nafay usmanNafay usman

Highlight of 2020: Sea-coast has been left alone with old footprints and no new trash.







Life before Pandemic:


2020, a year of unexpected events from which none of us were aware when we were wishing “happy new year “to each other. The life was going at its normal pace. The aroma of restaurant’ food can be smelled from the streets where they are located, the noise pollution of traffic was there on the roads, and we were rushing in the morning to reach the stop at our point time. The get together plans were being planned and canceling of plans was also there. Some of us were present at ludo table at a friend’s house and some of us missed it because we were not in a mood. We weren’t aware that a day will come when we will be missing these plans because we haven’t left with another choice. The sea coast of beach was filled with the spectators who were there to admire its beauty and a group of friend that was there to make memories. None of them knew that these days will really become long last memories to add on snap chat stories with throwback and missing captions.


This is when life felt normal: pre-pandemic moments.


Is this the end or are we just trapped?



Life after pandemic:

The two months of twenty-twenty match went normal. But, suddenly the third month showed us a screen which says error 404; the days you are looking for have been deleted by the creator or maybe your world has a slower connection with creator?


We were able to see reflections of our souls which was not an easy task to complete all alone.


For us life pace had been slowed down draining our energy with it. Most of us realized how much emptiness is there in our inner world. Most of us missed the old days. Anxiety increased, depression became prominent and we were forced to live in isolation alone with our stress.


The streets are empty and world is now a darker place with this biggest tragedy world could ever face and it's a drawback for many things on earth.



We saw this break as an error of life and spent most of our time waiting for better days to come so we will feel motivated. We didn’t realize that may be this is the new normal? Living with your family and taking online classes simultaneously, eating food of your mother’s hand three times a day not only on weekend but every day, going to terrace in the morning to see the sunrise and making a bond with nature and its creator.



When only clouds are allowed to move after 5 pm: covid-19

We don’t say it but most of us needed this break because life was passing in a blink of eye. May be this is not an error but another phase of life. Another normal which we have to live and embrace instead of spending it as a burden because in present days this is the need of time.
