The year 2020 has been the worst of all. There are no second thoughts on the way each of us has prayed this year to end. If deleting it would have been an option! However, good or bad, we have managed to stick through to the end and lived to tell the tale.
Every year we go down memory lane to look back into the year that is coming to an end. To collage and prepare a keepsake of the memories that we made. Unfortunately, there are hardly any, this year. But experiences are rich to call the year 2020. From witnessing a pandemic to being restricted to homes for months. What not has this year brought us.
Here’s is a look back at the wackiest things in 2020
1. The Pandemic
The outbreak that broke with the dawn of the year 2020 is itself the biggest whack in the whack list. So, the first thing is the virus COVID-19 and counting.
2. The Lockdown
The world coming to a standstill was just a science fiction flick up till now. We have seen it in Hollywood movies. A virus plaguing the countries, shops going shut, people running out of supplies, hoarding essentials, people fighting for toilet papers, the visuals of empty streets, all of these in the second place on this list.
3. The Lathicharge
Poor vegetable vendors took the most of the wrath of this inhumane thing. They were pelted with lathis and what not for doing their work. The poorest whack on the list.
4. The walking parades
Labors walking across the cities for miles carrying the load of families goes another poorest whack in the list.
5. Thaali, Taali, and everything in between
The corona warriors have given their best efforts in this situation, but some of us had to find some whack out of this too. Hence, the candle marches while chanting “Go Corona. Corona Go” is the whack of the millennium.
6. Empty Durga Puja Pandals
No Bengali can ever forget this whack of the century. Durga Puja shopping, pandal hopping, whole night partying, every essence of Durga Puja turned into a whack because of the pandemic.
7. Losing most loved people
We also lost many gems to COVID and other illnesses this year. Some gone too early, or gone shockingly and left us with never-ending grief.
There were many more, but we thought, to give it a break here. If you have anything to add to the list, please go on. Comment your whack of 2020 in the comments and vent your anger away!
