Lockdown- Day 14

This day marks the 2 week completion of the lockdown in our country. We think we have one more week but never know, it could last longer. I came to know of a loss of a good family friend- not due to COVID-19- may his soul rest in peace. I got a chance to talk to one of my aunts over a video call. Not a great, interesting day- very ordinary.

Lockdown- Day 13

It rained cats and dogs here this evening. This was paired with a black-out in my neighbourhood. People are curious to know if the lockdown will extend or not. Otherwise, just another day in lockdown- did some chores in the morning before settling down to work.

Lockdown- Day 12

The highlight of the day for me was the lighting of the lamps at 9pm for 9 mins to express our solidarity in the current crisis. It was an incredible feeling.

I watched a nice movie and also invested a bit in a personal development workbook.

Lockdown- Day 11

Today was just another day where I went about doing my chores for the day. For the first time in my life, I got an online consultation on the ear situation. I have been prescribed medication but I would still have to see a doctor in a week or so, as there is only so much one can do online.

Lockdown- Day 10

Today is kind of the middle of our country-wide lockdown. We were called upon to light lamps/hold up torches or switch on the mobile phone torches in our balconies, at our windows on 05APR for 9 minutes and turn off all lights indoors. I think more than a gimmick, it is something to look forward to and keep ourselves interested and motivated. I mean for many people in India, social distancing is very hard and also staying indoors. I think, everyone needs to take care of their mental health in such times, so that if we do not catch the virus, we should at least not be ailing from anything else. No progress with my ear. Rest, tomorrow.

Lockdown- Day 9

I could not blog yesterday. I did some house chores and for the very 1st time since the nation-wide lockdown, I did not step outdoors, even for a minute. For the 1st time, we felt we are adequately stocked and should be able to manage easily with whatever we had.

Lockdown- Day 8

This morning, before I did anything else, I went to the vegetable shop and got enough to take us through a week to week and a half. My ear feels so blocked up and no matter  how much I yawn, it does not make it right. I need to see a doctor as I cannot hear very clearly from that ear but I do not want to go yet. It is kind of scary to go to a hospital in the midst of a pandemic.
