My Lockdown Musings

This picture shows a girl selfie.

It was a time around 2020, the epic year with those iconic number everybody has their expectations on peek everyone believed that 2020 is going to be their year, this year will be a life changing turn and surely it was but things not always turns out as we expected them to be. 

One fine day in the end of April I woke up with no worries of waking up early no hurry of getting ready and with no excitement of going out for exploring it, felt nothing but suddenly as I stand at the edge of my balcony for the first time in many years I couldn't hear the horns of vehicles traveling on roads, I couldn't see the busy street of people marching towards their jobs, I couldn't hear
my neighbors checking upon each others.

 It was all empty and all I could think about the time, when there was rush, hustle bustle but as every coin has two sides this too had , I could hear the chirpings of birds bouncing in the air even if it's 10am. I could feel a wave of pristine freshness on my face and all due to the pollution free environment. My eyes were blessed to see the empty lifeless roads and it felt so calm.

 It was almost one month since India was locked up with the fear of getting caught by the virus and it was still hard for me to believe that this phase which we are living right now is a reality. It almost felt like a movie were zombie or alien attacks the mankind and thus creates such void . As the lockdown started to exceed all I could think about that when this will be over ? , or will this ever be over ? 

Lockdown has taught me so many things for which I'm grateful for and it starts with , that even in the toughest time of your life being with your family is the best thing you could do and it goes on it that life is like a bubble I could burst anytime there is no promises of tomorrow all we have is a day or maybe an hour or moreover a minute and all we supposed to do is live in that particular moment and be grateful for that. 

Further I learned that I'm so blessed that I could spend this hard time with my family
in my home, in my city with all the necessary things unlike those who are traveling barefoot miles and miles just to reach there home my heart brakes and that makes me very grateful to whatever I have. 

The most important lesson I could live up to is that all we have is US and all
we need to do is to stay together to fight this crisis even no matter what caste or status you belong to because the virus doesn't see your caste before getting into you so why would we humans with mind discriminate as it goes that staying positive and together is the another cure of this virus and one and the another most important lesson that the whole world should look
up to is that nature needs it's space in a way we do but we don't understand this basic funda of life .

 It was glorious to see nature recovering and animals being free on there own home. I'm sure people must have understood by now that how would animals lockdown in ZOO feel being suffocated in there own home just for our entertainment . So we people should make equal space for mother nature as we make for ourselves this phase of my life is unforgettable and years after years. I am sure this phase would be a great story to tell my grandchildren
