The Horizon of Curiosity

The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize the readers with the vectored thought process that evolved during the pandemic and the relevant output that can be obtained from this precise timeframe-oriented intellectual process that tried to address the relevant issues both in the short-term as well as in the long-term framework. The pandemic provided a huge multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder-relevant scope for research and analysis ranging from the social sciences to the natural sciences, and often the continuum is varied and colourful. The methodology adopted for this study is mainly based on qualitative analysis of various secondary sources available for public or academic speculation as well as research-relevant analysis. This is an evolving topic that is dynamic by its very nature, requiring a constant update.
