Eucatastrophe
(Neologism) Coined by JRR Tolkien, a eucatastrophe is the opposite of a catastrophe—a sudden and unexpected event of happiness or good fortune.
The calamity had hit us
and hit our homes, kitchens and gyms
but differently
so many
were finding a lost talent
the lost motivation
to cook, to do, to learn again
Challenges are the new normal
Rituals and rituals
Coffees and sarees
Weight loss, weight gain
Groupie and selfie
Eucatastrophe!
