I wish this Corona Virus and Lock down stay for more time without damaging to Life and Economy
Today is day 7 of Lock down - Life is better I would say in these situations and have more disciplined with more family time - of course there are some inconveniences , but that makes you learn how to balance them. I have not gone out in last 7 days - We are managing with what we got 7 days back, its a little bit change - but that makes the family learn how to adjust to situations.
Kids are not getting what they demand - but they have learnt to adjust to what is given to them in food. And its all home made food with no outside food or junk food. Earlier they used to order sometimes from Swiggy or Zomato or pizzas sometimes. But I have taken the advantage to help them understand that outside foods are not safe in these times even though they are available. If we run out of every thing, then we may risk ordering something or me going out to bring stuffs but until then the strategy is to manage with what we have at home.
Life is more organized as we have to do all household works as no maids are allowed to come inside the apartment society. So this has made us get up early and enjoy the morning and believe me, I am feeling the coldness in the morning as I used to feel in 1990. You can see the outside morning in the below picture outside of my window. Can you see the presence of little fog ? I never did see that in last decade may be. And more ever there are lot of birds chirping in the morning making it a unique feeling. If 7 days lock down can make this much change, imagine, what would happen if this happens for a long time !!! Yes, there are some positive impacts - We have stopped the air pollution to a great extent while saving a lot of fuel at the same time making the sky clearer. And the nature is taking this opportunity to heal itself. Mankind must realize that this Nature is our God without searching for God elsewhere. It's existence and wellness only keep us safe.
We are spending a good family time with kids bringing my creativeness. My daughter started her drawing coaching just before a month since Corona arrived and she is practicing some painting and she did paint the Corona Eye. And here are couple of more :
And since kids are not going outside, now they have shown some interests to play some board games at home. Also interestingly some television channels have brought back our ancient epic serials like Ramayana, Mahabharata - they have part of it in their course and now they are able to visualize them, which will help them a lot.
So overall Life is better than what used to be earlier - more disciplined, more organized , more adjusting , more savings - less junk , less malls, no unnecessary visits or spends and a more beautiful nature day by day - what else you need ?
