Coming to the last month of the year 2020, which is mostly been bashed badly by almost everyone, coz of the pandemic which started much earlier than this year & is still not taking a bit to slow down or vanish from our lives.
Being able to understand about what would come in my life in the coming months was beyond my imagination, while I was enjoying my Early New Year 2020 in January & crying a lil over the losses of 2019. What came after February was too scary af…
My dad’s sudden deteriorating health pushed me out of my Delhi apartment in a minute to reach my parents place asap, Lucknow. Went there, had seen him suffering in pain & af worried faces of mom & me. Believe me, had no idea of what this serious health condition would be treated in India (as there are no right doctors in India), except Dubai. Ofcourse, I couldn’t think of taking him abroad, instead find him an immediate solution. I am so glad, I did found a doctor, who deals in Ayurveda, but in Pune.
I asked him if he is able to counsel & guide us over phone call, & to be honest, I am so thankful to this doctor who was ready for everything we wanted at that time. My dad started taking medicines & precautions. He was asked to leave things which he loved the most. I cried heavily when the doctor was continuously telling me all the diet he would have to follow sans his favourite ingredients since childhood.
But the pain & tears I saw in my dad’s eyes for the disease came with it, made it worthwhile for us to understand that all we need is PRECAUTIONS!!!
My mom & dad made everything possible & he is fine, fit & healthy with all these precautions & dietary formulations.
Talking about precautions, & here comes the announcement of Country Lockdown for the next few months which went from March till August, & slowly uplifting of lockdown, varied from state to state. Covid changed everything for me personally, professionally, financially, mentally, & emotionally.
I came back to Delhi asap & resumed working from home. I enjoyed working at home. I realised the utter happiness I had almost all the time for the initial 6 months – where I have always dreamt of working from home, which was not so common in India until Covid came in our lives. I was agressively working more than required, happily doing all the projects at office & did all the cooking experiments I would have thought that I cannot do them ever in my life.
Dated online a lot of people, never met them, never shared a number with them, & I must tell you – Disappointments is synonymous to Indian guys. Embarassment is the other name of my feelings. Ahhhh we aren’t gonna talk about it. Losers. Assholes. Selfish people. This is how I would describe to all the guys I conversed in 2020. (If you are reading this, hey you, you can do the same about me, but to tell you, I am not sorry for saying this that you were toxic in my life, & it was a good decision to part my ways from you)
Online dating sucks for me. Until I found some amazing people too from there & we became online friends. 🎁🙉 I dunnow why but yeah it happened with me. Lol 😂
I will not discuss my work here coz Indians will take some time to understand the whole process of executing & streamlining all the departments in work from home culture. So till then RIP our offices. 🙄😉🙏😂😁👍
Woahhh, I got an amazing feel when I said RIP our Offices. Damn true 😹❤️
Lost a lot of money in this Covid to almost all unknown people online & believe me I got my lesson. Harder. For the better. 🥺🙏
Professionally if I talk about I have started two pages of mine on Instagram. Infact, one was already there with the name – https://www.instagram.com/spacebetweenbreaks/
The only thing with this page was I fathom a lot to understand what I really want to do apart from my work & then I experimented a lot with my content to understand that Make-up & Beauty is what I love the most doing. 💖🌅🥳
2020 wasn’t that bad as I got my very first big collaboration for an year with an Italian Beauty brand to freelance content for them. Its a slow race & my job would be to remain consistent in it. No matter what. ❤️
The other page, I started coz of the lovely people I have in my life who loved my cooking & coz of their support we made another food page in which I used to post a
lot of my experiments & short videos too… https://www.instagram.com/thequarantinecook5/
I might do a second post this year or might not. God knows. But I must write one thing I am thankful for the lessons this year has given me, more than what I learnt in my earlier years. This year is undoubtedly one of the game changers in my life.
It is the little things which make bigger things happen. Believe me, you all would have got good things with this year too, stop criticizing, start accepting the flow of life brings to you. Be happy with what you get. 🌅💖❤️🥺

Stay happy ❤️ Stay inside ❤️ Happy New Year & Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎉🎂
Much love – Nutannayan Nigam 🤗
