Happy New Year 2021 Celebrations Live Updates: Though 2020 has been a year full of hardships for most of us, now it is the time to begin the countdown for 2021 and be ready to welcome the New Year with joy and happiness.
The year 2020 taught us many things like - learning without going to school, working without going office, shopping without stepping out and much more. This year brought pandemic, fear, deaths, lockdowns, unemployment, loss and anxiety, but we still moved on. And now we are all set for a new beginning in 2021. We keep our fingers crossed and all set to bid adieu to 2020 and welcome the New Year with open arms of hopes, happiness, health and prosperity.
