With Earthquakes Felt In Gujarat, Assam & Himachal, People Are Wondering Why 2020 Won't End Already
On Thursday morning, three different earthquakes struck the states of Gujarat, Assam and Himachal Pradesh and people want 2020 to stop.
Many believe that 2020 is a curse that keeps on giving. Of course, the main reason for this is the ongoing pandemic that isn't giving up yet. Then there are the natural disasters like the cyclones and earthquakes that are low key making people lose their faith.
Take for example the tremors felt today in Gujarat, Assam and Himachal Pradesh. While, fortunately, no loss of life or property was reported, people have already sort of given up on 2020.
