Eucatastrophe #NewNormal #A2Z

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!

  11. That is one positive that came out of this catastrophe - the taking away of the excuses for not learning/doing something we want to do. Nicely put.
