Lockdown.. Curfew…Covid-19 Pandemic… Mask… Sanitiser… Social distancing these are not words. These are now becoming a prominent part of our life. It started on 22nd March in my country India on this day it was not so severe and I thought it would be for some time but the next day on the 23rd March it was announced that complete lock down will be imposed in the whole country. We were in shock and depressed to know that all things had closed. It was a different aspect that never felt like this first day was not so horrible. I felt mixed emotions, stress, fear and curiosity was there.
The main things and reason for stress I was very upset that we were locked at home at the threshold. Streets were completely empty. Vehicles were standing still and nobody was not leaving their house.
I was watching news and live updates on social media about the conditions and I was very disturbed to see as it was spreading in all countries. I was talking to my family and friends and all were in panic. It was impacting our life and was not good as the word has been entered in our life that was called Covid 19 pandemic. But still none of us a had a clear picture of what was happening about the virus.
It was completely locked down, So all shops, schools were closed except essential services remained open like grocery and medical stores, from the pandemic we learned an important thing about sanitation and personal hygiene and many major changes in our life. However day was normal but at night I couldn’t sleep because of anxiety and fear regarding what was happening in the world. The next morning I woke up at sunrise and felt nature and I felt that everything was the same as before. I blinked my eyes and I wanted to believe in myself that except in human beings all things were normal like trees, my lawn and flowers were blooming as before. It gave me same relief only one thing was crystal clear that we have to stay indoor and can not leave the house this was hard fact and we have to follow the rules and guidelines
On the TV Channel there was different and horrific news about covid 19 but I have decided to limit it to just watching headlines and I was avoiding unnecessary discussion of coronavirus rather than love to listen to music but honestly it was not making me happy. In the deep of my mind the word lockdown, quarantine were just wondering I was reminding myself to stay inside the home, My mind was not able to accept all things so easily but this was a bitter truth.
