Introduction The overall pattern of the corona virus pandemic so far has been a series of COVID-19 waves; surges in new cases followed by declines. Ever since the inception of COVID-19 from December 2019, has had a lot of influence on human life and has completely changed the perception of human behaviour. Another surge began in the mid 2021 as the contagious delta variant began to circulate and eventually become dominant, followed by a third wave by the end of 202l. (1) As per the sources, the mutations of the virus still prevail with variants, in most parts of the world. In India, in the month of March 2020 a nationwide lockdown was imposed by the government to gain control on the spread of corona virus. Severe restrictions were imposed on the movement of people which made people stay indoors with no contact with the outside world. It's been more than two years from now that all aspects of life were seriously disrupted on a large scale and impacted every segment of life. The pandemic has drastically changed the way we live, the way we perceive life, the overall working of the human race and all the aspects related to it. Having said that, it had both positive and negative impacts on everyone. The impact was not only limited to human health but other aspects related to humans like social, economical, cultural, educational, environmental and emotional wellbeing as well. The world is working together to cope with the unpredictable situation caused by the virus and is trying to adapt to the new normal. The research tries to discuss and analyze how the lives have adapted to the new changes since the first surge of Covid-19 pandemic and tries to highlight the various aspects of the new normal that came into existence due to the pandemic and the perception of humans towards life. The impact of COVID-19 has been, by far, the most fatal and widespread, partly because of the severity of the condition and partly because today the world is way more connected making transmission quicker.
