Today is Memorial Day. The day when we remember the soldiers who died for our country. The somber time during which we honor those who served and never returned. In 2020, it is also a day during the time when the world is slowly reopening after governments have locked down their countries. This is why I am proposing a new holiday. One that will make future generations remember all that we went through during this global health crisis. This holiday, unlike many others, will not be celebrated with big parties or any parade or any other form of festivity. Nor will it include gathering together to remember the dead -- or gathering of any kind for that matter. Instead, during this special day, everyone will stay as far away from each other as possible. When social interaction is unavoidable (like when we suddenly need a dozen rolls of toilet paper), we will wear masks and gloves when we go out to the few places deemed essential by local authorities. All of this will help us to remember how hard life was during the long months of worldwide pandemic we had to face. We need to show future generations the difficulty of staying at home and binge-watching Netflix shows. I propose that the name of this new holiday be "Quarantine Day", and that it should take place on the last Tuesday of every May -- right after Memorial Day....

This is the first post on my new blog. It isn't anything much, but I hope for it to become useful in the future. I plan to post writings related to a variety of topics ranging from programming to faith and anything in between. Of course, it will be well-separated into different categories so you can only look at what you are interested in. I plan to write short and long posts. Interesting and dull posts. Even productive and boring posts. Hopefully most of them will be short, interesting, and productive though. That's all I have for now. Enjoy my blog!...
