Lockdown has been a learning phase for everyone. For me this lockdown is like summer break that going on and on. Last year I had waited for a long holiday but now that I have it and I just wish that it ends soon. how ironic right? I know. Last year I was very excited by only a fact that after boards I could go out with my friend and enjoy a lot but even after boards, I am sitting in my home due to lockdown. This lockdown initially brought lot of sadness but gradually I start liking my new routine.

So, let’s return back to main topic! Well lockdown have taught me many things. During lockdown I have made some fondest memories of my life. For starters I engaged in my hobbies and discovered many more! For initial period I used to be engage in tv and just lay down but I found a new hobby for life that is making mandala art. I started to draw for hours and that felt surprisingly relaxing! Now I have a page on Instagram. Later a craved for brownies so I decided to bake them myself and that was when i found a hidden talent. Lockdown has brought me and my family closer earlier all us was busy in our life’s but now we have more time for each other. I have made a lot of dishes and washed utensils too ;). I got to know about power of internet. A year ago I had a lesson “The Fun They Had” in which children instead going to school attended their school on computer screens and computers as their teachers at that time I can’t believe if I would ever in that situation and here I am sitting in front of my computer and attending my school lessons ofcource my teacher is not some robot. I witnessed the clear sky, double rainbow, clear Yamuna, peacock roaming around my apartment which I believe is one-time life time opportunity.

The lockdown was very fruitful .It taught me patience , not to take things for granted,to live with less,reality of migrant labourer,to appreciate nature and my more things!

It took just one invisible virus, just a lockdown to make me realize all these truths of life!

thank you !
