A happy ending to the bizzare phantasmagoria

SVC Word of the Week - Phantasmagoria
(A sequence of images, real or imaginary, which appear bizzare or too fantastic) 


Life in the present times appears too bizzare for words.  Routines have gone haywire, and everything we once did without thinking now needs careful introspection.  Almost a series of  bad phantasmagoric images we can't wait to replace with happy ones. If predictions of scientists and researchers are to be believed, we may soon be heading towards regular life, pending a vaccine. Which may be arriving soon. And that will most certainly put an end to the conundrum being viewed in the media at least.

The need to be Scrupulous about hygiene in the new normal

SVC word of the week - Scrupulous
(To be careful and attentive to details)

The pandemic has certainly put a check on the lack of hygiene. Even as the world limps back to normalcy, people are learning to be more careful and thorough about maintaining personal hygiene. Hand washing and sanitization are being given due attention with everyone becoming more scrupulous in a bid to keep the infection at bay. And this is certainly a sign of the times to come. No washing your hands off of good hygiene now.
