Lockdown- Punishment or Blessing

Lock down- Punishment or Blessing

The lock down across the country has created panic and fear among the people.  The number of corona cases which are increasing day by day is creating a negativity among us . We,  who were once free to roam around are now trapped within the four walls of our homes . The 1-day curfew imposed on us was just the beginning of our exile.  People are all wondering on the effect the 21 days curfew imposed on them will have now.

But we need to look at the positive side of it. We will realize how by staying indoors will keep us  safe and healthy . We can make use of the idle time by making it more productive and learning new things which we usually complain cannot do because of lack of time. I for one have been trying to do so.

I have been listing out all the things that I would have wanted to do and have started doing it .I have now started  indulging in my hobbies

1.       Have started painting/ sketching/ trying new methods of paint! thanks to  U Tube

2.       Have been able to find time to read my favorite novels

3.       Exploring cooking as a hobby and am a good beginner for a start

4.       Going back to gardening which I did once upon a time.  I am trying to grow a vegetable garden. Let me see if I can be successful 

5.       Trying to write my thoughts and experiences in my blog which I had left for lack of time.

6.       Try out new creative indoor games.

7.       Spending time with family. Our office time and the travel time hardly gave time to spend quality time with them. It is like getting to know them again.  

8.       And of course, giving myself an hour everyday in the morning for my yoga/ exercise

9.       Try something new .

I am each one of us can list down the activities that would have loved to do and use the time given to start it once again. And I am sure the 21 days lock down can easily be overcome
