The Lockdown Saga - Day 1/21

India is under lockdown for 21 days due to the Chinese virus (yes... I will call it that) that has overtaken the world by storm. We are all fighting the virus, which is threatening our way of life. India has taken the hard way much earlier and I think this is the best thing to do. I compliment the government for thinking fast and taking this step. Now it is up to the people of India to make it work and make the most of it.

The lockdown started on 25th March 2020 and we are already in its 5th day today. I have taken up a challenge to make the most of it and revisit my writing soul and create something in words. I have been doing a lot of blogging earlier, but this hobby comes and goes. However, this time on, I have taken this #21DayChallenge of writing an article every day. I have been doing that for 4 days now and have been posting them on my personal blog.

I am leaving this chain of thought with links to my blog here. I hope some people get to read it and give me feedback on how it is. The following is the article on day 1 of my #stayinghome

Excerpt

This 21-day lockdown is an opportunity – to make things better and maybe reset yourself and the world around you for the better. At least that is what nature is doing to all of us. Look around you, the skies are getting clear, the air is far more breathable, you can hear the birds more, and the night has shown some clear views of certain constellations which you could not get to see earlier. A news article said, that dolphins are visiting the canals in Venice. So, yes nature is resetting itself.

Another thing the reset is doing is the nature of people are being challenged – we will become more distant. We already were with the social media joining us with LOLs and smileys, instead of pure sounded laughs. The social distancing will probably become normal or some later!

Damn the Chinese Flu! Yes, I will call that openly, however much the politicians don’t want to call it… it is a C-Virus, China Virus! They are the ones who caused it and we are the ones suffering because of it. High time we boycotted China…its a dark, opaque regime which deserves to be ostracised!

Now that this is off my chest, here goes my ‘dincharya’ (daily routine) on this 21-day route. I hope I can diary it every day!
