This world has seen pandemics, recession, the great depression, world wars, nuclear warfare, the Holocaust, and so much more horribly disastrous stuff in just the last century. I’ll not even talk about the revolutions and dinosaurs. 2020 really has got nothing on its grandfathers. What this year really did differently was to do some of these nasty things in the age of internet. In a way, the real disaster wasn’t Covid-19, it was Tik-Tok. (and also Liverpool winning the Premier League)

As we enter 2021, apart from forwarding random images on whatsapp from some people to others, I thought it’ll be good to finally write a blogpost for 2020 and make some more resolutions (since I totally kept the ones from last year). But before that, here are three predictions for 2021. With my expertise in making baseless claims I have full confidence that they’ll be true in the next year, and if that doesn’t happen, we all have the option of blaming this on 2020.

Prediction #1: More Covid cases
This whole new year new me thing seems to have been taken seriously by Covid. We’ve got a new strain and taller stronger sharper virus. Goodluck.

Prediction #2: More babies
The lockdown was announced around the end of March. January 2021 is 9 months from then. In other news, 2+2 = 4.

Prediction #3: More memes
Covid doesn’t seem to end. The decade is over. People are staying at home. It’s like an introvert’s dream come true. Expect a lot of 2020 memes. Which could be a refreshing change from all the wedding and baby updates you’ve been getting.

Hopefully you’ll look back at the end of 2021 and think what a visionary I was. But we’ll come back to that. For now, thank you for reading, I wish you a great year and an amazing life. I sincerely hope one of your resolutions is reading more crappy content because I’ve decided to write more this year!
