People ask me that since I have got the vaccine, will I be mask free now? I want to tell everyone that taking the vaccine isn’t going to change that. Masks aren’t going anywhere for a long time.

I have learnt to not take life, relationships and circumstances for granted. I am so grateful to God for keeping me and my loved ones safe. Sure, 2020 was tough, but we have to move ahead and I am sure 2021 will be an amazing year for everyone. Love and light to all. Stay safe and be responsible,” she signs off. Kavita Awaasthi
