Lockdown Day 51
Definitely the fastest 51 days of my life
The longest time I have been stuck into home and didn't step out from my home at all
I am the lucky one who got to get back to hometown before lockdown started.
The place where my family lives in lockdown is under curfew area from the last 51 days so there is no relaxation at all in going out for anything.
Police is all over the place. Its on drop silence on the roads.
Initially 21 days were all exciting, depressing , entertaining and what not.
Everyone enjoyed their time as well cribbed about not going out.
Everyone struggled, they explored their hobbies,called to their long distance loved ones, learnt something new, fucked up their sleep and eat cycles hence the basic routine but now at 55 days of complete lockdown everyone has become calmer. They have more patience now. As someone said in 21 days, if you do something daily then it will just became your habit.
Now work from home, not going out, not dressing up, no food from outside, no parties, not seeing anyone in person other than your family, no traffic, less pollution have been part of normal routine.
I am dreading to go back to my pre lockdown lifestyle now.
I like this peace, less people, cocooning in my safe place with my family and not going out.
There are some weak moments for sure when I crave for something from the outside world but then thinking about leaving my inside world is making me more anxious.
So just a reminder to my future self to make me remember how to be grateful and how to take everytime patiently
