COVID TIMES - 2020
Covid -19 pandemic 2020
Introduction
As a child we read about events at this scale happened in the past but never thought of living through one. Covid is one such for this generation.
Wuhan market or not ?
Is this due to the wild animals market or the lab experiments gone wrong or a biological weapon to destroy the world economy? -Only God knows and Time will reveal.
In Hyderabad, it became a sensation with the Mindspace episode. From that day, roads were empty as if it was Sankranti or Dasara time. Due to all the news and media, doubt and cautiousness was injected into the minds of people.
Lockdown
Practice social distancing, atleast for the valuable lives of others. Easier said than done.
Zoom is a hit, like Paytm during demonitization.
Office, school, college, home converged - similar to the malls with eat, shop, play, movies theme.
Irony - few stupids were honking on the empty spinal road.
Lockdown look
My tools to beat covid
Internet, Smart phone, Bose ear buds, Trimmer, Scissors, Soaps.
In-house games, badminton in hall.
Listening music - best ones from the childhood, school, college days to the recent ones.
Losses
Mutual Funds, Equities, APDP variable pay - are all gone for a toss. First week, my OnePlus fell down again while WFH and this time the display was completely gone. Luckily had an alternative option, switched to a basic phone that was discarded by my younger one - Redmi 4. She was showing pity and says ' irony that you're using that phone. I said -Dad knows how to bring best out of it, for that matter can live without smartphone as well (we never had phone during treks). I am using that little phone to do the blog.
Thanks to my wife for the offer, she must be thanking me for not accepting her phone.
Also I am worried that they may find in a future study - washing hands with soap will not kill the virus. All soaps and hand washes, tap washes, cleaning we did...
Best of social media
Thank you friends on fb, whatsapp.
Some of the good ones:
Best part was the noise pollution reduction - able to hear the birds chirping. Peacocks, Cuckoo etal.
Below little birds in our balcony.
Family Activities
Discussions:
Daughter asks me 'when was the last u cried?
Critic review of the school days, National prize winning write-up by our elder one. We never discussed in those days.
Safest - food, vegetables, fruits are the cheapest and the locally found ones.
Solving the puzzles posted on whatsapp.
Our cooking:
We all took turns for cooking. Few of those below.
our plays:
Best isolation
Angel Noah aka Shiny, our youngest.
No complaints, no fuss about lockdown. The aspiring Psychology student knows how not to get bogged down under pressure.
What I personally feel
-This too shall pass - simple.
Abide by the law of land.
I feel sorry for the victims, without doing any mistake they have to struggle.
For me - it gave time to rewind, re-live the moments of life.
Gave me ample family time, was missing this due to hectic schedules we were into - by choice or by force.
Restarted blogging my treks.
Watching the Survival movies like - Cast Away, Into the wild, I am still alive - Andes survival, etc.
Thanks to the ACs, Laptops, Smartphones and all other equipment for running almost 24 x 7.
Last but not the least the router for running seamlessly.
Thank you!
Hoping that there should not be further updates to the blog.
Go Corona. Go.
Nice one. :)
