Life in Lock Down




 Covid-19 or Corona Virus is a global pandemic which was originated from Wuhan in china in the last weekend of November 2019.29L Corona +ve cases and over 2L deaths worldwide at present left us no choice but to remain at home in LOCKDOWN

Doctors and scientists are working day and night to find its medicine and/or vaccine but so far it is very early to say anything about its availability within months or so.

LOCKDOWN and SOCIAL DISTANCING are the only way to keep this virus away for the time being.

Initially it was weird to be at home for the day without any work,spent hours and hours together seating and sleeping in various different postures.After Few days of staying in home,we  found that it was no easy to pass time but soon we realises that this is a life time opportunity to spent valuable time in family.


Those working in offices are looking for their turn to come and curious to attend their offices.
Large number of Indians are stranded in foreign land and waiting to lockdown relaxed.Similarly migrant workers all around the metro cities in the country stuck up without job desperately wants to go back their respective states.


Life in lockdown has come for a change when:-

No visitors are visiting anyone's home,

Little or no interaction with people even in neighborhood as everyone see others in suspicion of Corona carriers,

People are spending maximum times online searching apps related to their need,

40 minutes walking on the track/road or workouts in Gim has been replaced by Yoga and various excercises which are being performed in room,
Life without maids for doing daily chores at home is not easy for houswives,
Video chatt is a new trend to meet near and dear online in virtual world,
Eating healthy home made foods are becoming more popular as restaurants are closed,
Walking on the streets/roads  without any work has come to a complete halt,

Online classes and training have been in trend now,

Face mask and social distancing seem part and parcel of life now onwards,
Driving is now a dream and cars are parked as if they have not been driven for couple of months.Going for a long drive is definitely a dream,
Taking a bite while driving,being on a call all the time and an instant coffee on the go have all suddenly come to an end.

Now we are happily settled at our home.No hurry, neither to earn nor to spend. Requirements of life reduced to get food 3  times a day.

No one is in hurry to go to their respective jobs,people are sleeping late at night and getting up late after 9am in morning. Usual timings of breakfast,lunch,Evening snacks and dinner have been changed by now with a delay of 2 to 3 hrs.As a result majority of our timings for going in bed shifted from 10pm to 12 in midnight.

Watching TV,spending time online ,reading books,online gaming and video chats are the new ways to pass time at home.

Life changed during this period of Lockdown and may be a new fashion trend with face mask will be seen very soon.


The visuals of mankind with face mask and social Distancing may be seen for decades to come in future.

Life may not be same as it was before COVID-19.
