She said, she felt that if there’s a time the world needs healing is now. From the pandemic, she said people have lost jobs, associating with our loved ones has come to a halt. ‘The new normal itself came with an unusual painful experience so from all that I was saying to God help us to focus on you and forget about all that is going on”, she said.
