Be positive India lockdown for 21days. Stay at home stay safe
It is Covid 19 which forced the world to go in hibernation mode. Panic has gripped the continents, as WHO declared the coronavirus crisis a pandemic. India too is taking extreme steps to contain the spread of the virus, and has imposed a complete lockdown for 21 days till April 14. As per the directive of the Government of India, we have to lock down our offices and our self as well.
Considering the situation and to be on the safer side, some of our colleagues went back to their native towns which are mostly in the Himalayas . They left before all the borders got sealed, and they all made it home safely and I am happy for them. However some of us did not manage to leave in time to return home to be with our families.For the time being I feel a bit frustrated as I am all alone in the city and dreaming of my home the whole night. The next morning when I climb down my bed I feel the mere silence without the honking of vehicles and barking of humans. For the first time I can hear the sound of birds from my balcony which gives me immense pleasure. During this lockdown period I have seen the city changed. Since most of the Institutions and transport services have been shut down for 21 days the air quality has improved drastically. The Neighbours are getting closer, communicating and helping each other. People are giving respect to the vegetable vendors and other essential goods suppliers. It brings a sense of responsibility within us and teaches us to respect the necessity against desire.
No dought, this unexpected virus attacked humankind vigorously, but it also brings back the humanity to the humans..
