I realized there has been quite some gap since I last posted my empties. There are two valid excuses for this. One, in March my father contracted COVID-19. To help my mom take care of him, I took Work from home and went to mom's place to help her. Within a couple of days, I was sure, I had contracted it as well. Although my symptoms were mild but I was 100% sure that I was COVID positive. I did not get myself tested to validate as it was self evident. It took us 3 weeks to test negative but Alhumdulillah we made it through. The lack of energy and weakness COVID leaves you with, left me struggling for around 3 months. Excuse no. 2 feels like an even bigger hit. I have lost all my data, my 10 years worth of data is all lost which was saved in the portable drive. It has been over a month that I have handed it for recovery to a professional but the chances of recovering the data seem bleak. It contains my blog photo repository and for the time being I am left with next to nothing stock of photos. The blog posts I had lined up are all gone. This reason has been a serious de-motivator and also I keep this hope alive that the data will be retrieved and I shall resume posting once I have the pictures.
