For many people across the globe, 2020 has been one of the most challenging years of their lifetimes. The pandemic has changed how we work, how we live and to some point how we communicate with each other. Now, people are waiting to usher in 2021 with hope. Among them is Union Minister Smriti Irani.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a heartfelt post and also urged 2021 to “be kind”.
“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.
