Hey guys, I’ll be writing this last one while my coffee cools down to drinkable level before I finally start studying for my exams which starts after 5days!!
Ok so this is about the people of the cliff. The photo above is of the music shop which I used to pass atleast 5times a day in my almost a week’s stay. I lifted the picture from an Instagram post so covering the face. :P

ALSO I GIFTED ONE OF THE GIRLS A BARBIE DOLL KEYCHAIN, WHICH SHE WANTED VERY BADLY AND THO’ I COULDN’T GIVE IT TO HER DIRECTLY AND SEE THE REACTION ON HER FACE I’M SURE SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED IT :DD

(also one of a friend I made helped him sell like 3–4 music instruments by storying about it on his insta story, I mean, how cool is that??:)))

So talking to a couple of shopkeepers at the cliff I’ve come to know of what they think about the coronavirus. So we all know how this lockdown has completely force-changed the way people live, think and communicate. And we also know how it has negatively impacted businesses, and how tourism and small businesses have received the biggest blow but what we don’t know is how it’s changed the minds of different people of different fields. While some might thank the pandemic or the year for being one where they had an opportunity to learn new things, make new friends, new music taste, interests and how it was the best year for character development, but we often fail to think about what the others, the ones really suffering think and why the year truly sucked for them.

Since I was solo travelling, I didn’t have anyone to hang out with at times and once randomly decided to go chill and jam for awhile and ended up having almost 30mins talk with the shopkeeper. He believes that Covid-19 is nothing but a hoax created mutually by the government and the big businesses to benefit themselves and they don’t really care if the people below them die or suffer. While this is partially true — that the government doesn’t really care about the people and keeps them busy or keep their minds diverted through entertainment and consumption and ‘the pigs’ accepts anything and everything given to them without questioning it and enjoy it in the name of servitude a.k.a. patriotism.

Talking about the other part, while we know that people are actually getting infected and falling sick and some even dying, which is scary but I don’t think we’ll know anytime soon if the virus really is a hoax or a bioweapon or just a bi-product of human idiocy over the years.

What do you guys think about the virus?

PS: Just realised upon reading this that this became more about ‘the pigs’ — the creature that accepts anything given to it without questioning it and ‘the big brother’ — the one after absolute power who’s after the world, rather than the people of the cliff, so I guess I’ll elaborate on what I think about them rulers and servers some other day. Ok bye!

tee-hee
