If there is one silver lining to this pandemic, it is the fact that we got a chance to appreciate the value of life. We had time rethinking our principles, values, and existence. Sometimes we miss an opportunity to become the most excellent version of ourselves. Most of the times, we see ourselves mirrored in shows and that is how automatically become our favorites. When this is all over, and we can explore the world again, may we remember all our learnings at home.
