I wonder .

Till the end of November I was almost sure that CoVid was well behind us. Millions of people around the world too seemed to share that feeling. People began letting down their guard , unmasked themselves, dusted their suitcases, ironed out their silks, lit up the lights for Christmas and New Year and got ready to get back to work as usual.

But come 24th November when the dreaded virus made another come back. This time as OMICRON. And with it came the fear. The panic. And the whole rigmarole of the last two years .

Last Friday when one of my helpers returned after a family wedding in Ratnagiri, she was as shocked as I was when she tested positive in a home administered Rapid Antigen Test.

I had no option but to send her away as we have two high risk people at home. She is now in quarantine and under treatment but for the first time in 2 years, we came face to face with the virus. And as the second line appeared , my blood ran cold .

Will the virus be as vicious as it was when it first came ? Or will it be milder as all the experts claim.

One will have to just watch and see the reality of 2022 and hope things are better in 2023 !
