At home during lockdown



Coronavirus has spread rapidly across the world. India’s COVID-19 cases have spiked, and
the numbers are increasing every day. The government has been pro-actively working
towards breaking the chain. A severe lockdown has been put in place in all the states. The
central and state governments are working together to contain this pandemic apart from
finding ways to revive back the economy and also to help the poor and downtrodden.

After being at home for a while watching movies and web series on Netflix and Prime, I
realized what to do next and started calling up my friends to know what they were doing.
Most of these guys were working from home and playing with their kids and were happy
enough that they were spending time with their loved ones, Most of us who are working in
IT sector particularly know how challenging it is at work place with daily updates to give,
attend meetings at the last hour of the day and working almost for 10-12 hours everyday
and in this process we miss the valuable time with our loved ones.

Imagine what will happen post lockdown, the year 2020 has bought new ways of social
etiquettes into practise. Face Masks and Social distancing will be the part of our lives going
forward. Hand sanitizers will be the must to carry in our bags while we are out. The way we
used to watch sports and movies will change in future. But again, we all know that with the
current standards of medical research and technology, the vaccine for coronavirus will be
soon in the market and once this comes, we will be back to our Golden Era. Until then we all
shall maintain social distancing and religiously follow the suggestions provided by
Government departments.

So, what shall we do at home!!

To start a day with Yoga & Breathing Exercises or a Cardio session will be a great booster to
our body, this is the time to develop the immunity system of our body. Eat good food and
have a proper 8 hours sleep.

Try to read books and sharpen your skills. Do join an online course and try to learn new
technologies like AI and Blockchain or any other technologies you wished to learn.
Listen to music, it will soothe our minds.

Learn drawing & painting through online platforms like YouTube.
Help the elderly people in your community, do some household work also you might have
cooked in the past during your bachelor days so bring back the chef in you and make
interesting dishes for your family.

Help the needy in your community in whatever small way you can, it will make a big
difference for our children. It’s better to involve them in the community service.
