“Here’s looking at you 2021... with hope. It’s been a tough year for many amongst us. We have lost people we loved, saw humanity spring to the rescue of those despondent, masks on the faces of plentitude; however some masks slipped just enough to show us the true nature of things & people. But we are a stubborn lot ... hopeful, yet again, for a new year is set to dawn upon us. Won’t be diffident & say bring it on, no not this time for 2020 was brutal. Will surely say, 2021, be kind... for in that kindness will breathe new ideas, be hailed new victories & squeals of laughter erupting from our young shall truly delight us all,” she wrote. Irani also shared three hashtags - #hope, #heart and #happiness.
