Wassup! How is it going?
My friends, it’s been a moment since I checked in and asked: “How is it going ( in these unprecedented times)?” I know it is one of those questions we answer without thinking. Like when we meet someone and are immediately greeted with, “Hi, How are you?” And we instinctively say, ” I am fine. Thank you!” Even though we’re feeling miserable.
We never say what we are going through. It feels as if we are conditioned not to open up or share our struggles.
I am asking you again:
Hello Friends, How are you getting along?
I demand an honest, in-depth thoughtful answer.
So here are some follow-up questions for you:
How’s your day been so far?
What are you reading currently?
What are the TV shows or movies you’d recommend?
What do you do when you start to feel down?
What’s been on your mind lately?
Is there anything that you thought you can’t live without but you didn’t miss it in your quarantined life?
What is your nickname/alter-ego?
It’s a different world we live in right now. And we all need different approaches to sail through this pandemic. With people out of work, small businesses suffering, and economies going into depression – we all have only one goal: survival. We all are facing an uncertain and unpredictable future but this is also an opportunity to emerge stronger, disciplined, and grateful.
At times like this, instead of getting stuck into the spirals of “What-ifs”, be kind to yourself and connect with friends, family and acquaintances. Don’t let coronavirus dominate your conversations and stories.
It doesn’t matter how you choose to start your interactions, but what matters is that you genuinely ask questions that attract honest answers. One of the kindest thing “you can do is to not pretend that you’re fine and let others also open up to their success and struggles. In these times, there is no place for ingenuity.
Now, let me answer the above questions.
How are you getting along?
I am trying to cope up with the new style of living, learning and leading.
How’s your day been so far?
It’s been a good day so far. I am writing this post after so many days and it’s bringing positivity around me. I guess I missed talking to you guys but I have had enough on my plate that I couldn’t give time to The Crazy List. It’s good to be back.
What are you reading currently?
I am currently reading The Spy by Paulo Coelho. I left it in the middle and now I am planning to finish all the books that I left in the middle for some reason or another.

I am currently watching Ozark on Netflix and I love it. Highly recommended!

Color my hair. I can see some whites and I am too lazy to cover them.
