Corona Lockdown - Day 40 - 3rd May 2020

Image
Finally Sunday! End of the series of 3 continuous holidays! I see the news on TV today. They are talking on easying the lockdown having few of the sectors being open. Though the number of positive cases is raising, I am not certain how this sudden open of the lockdown would treat the people. One good thing I saw today was the armed forces showing their gratitude to the Corona warriors. The jet planes showering flowers on the doctors and police across other states. It was a treat to watch. Also the navy has lit the entire warships with lights in the dark to appreciate the efforts of the Corona warriors. India has crossed 40K+ positive cases and is very near to the Netherlands in its positive cases though in the Netherlands this virus had kept its leg first. Hopefully, all the IT sector would be working from home for another week or two I believe. Hoping for the positive Monday! This is how my day looked like Breakfast: Akki rotti with cabbage palya Lunch: Fruit salad Dinne

Corona Lockdown - Day 39 - 2nd May 2020

Image
It was yet another Saturday and the mind is trained to be at home because of lockdown. Lockdown got extended again for two more weeks till the 17th of May. The Corona positive cases are growing higher and in Bangalore it's growing more in numbers too. I m not certain how the kids will be taught this year. It's been more than a month working from home and a few other companies asked their employees to work from home till August. An unseen virus had tied the whole world inside the home. There are debates on the pros and cons of the lockdown vs the economy. What I feel is this year 2020 is successful if you are healthy. Stop cribbing about pay cuts, no bonus, and unpaid holidays. Lets be grateful for the jobs we have so far. Let the dreams, aspirations, and plans be there behind the curtain waiting for the right time. Utilizing this time to sharpen the skill will help in reaping the ripened fruits later. Let's learn new things. Either the new technology, programming language

Corona Lockdown - Day 38 - 1st May 2020

Today's is Labor day here and is a holiday! After a long time, I watched a Hindi movie. Thappad was the movie name. The movie theme was good. But I am not sure if our society has reached that extent to divorce her partner for one slap. I had seen similar comments on the Twitter platform when this movie got released. It appears that women face tough situations at home as well as at workplaces and she goes through this turbulence of thoughts balancing family, work, children, and their education. All that womanhood wants at present situation is a pinch of appreciation and an ounce of respect. This is how my day went Breakfast: Uppittu Lunch and Dinner: Ghee rice and chicken curry Meditation: I did attend only 12.30 session today. My brothers were at home in the evening and couldn't make it for the evening session. Read & Write: I couldn't complete this Music: Had many random tracks running Work out: It was more of competition with my brothers on

Unlock The Wardrobe!!

Washing machine seemed whispering to the tap with a wicked smile - "Same faded ones" The tap appeared saying  -"once again??" with a wrinkled eyebrows! Detergent was crying "These are already faded - how can I make them fader again?" I looked at the clothes I was dumping to wash They appeared talking "how nice the ones resting in hangers" We are the ones kept lying half folded for easy access! we are picked directly from the string where we will be still drying said the other! They seemed questioning "Why we are being used the whole day??" I am missing the perfume sprinkled cozy partners said the machine! still waiting for the colorful ones to treat them better! I am in awe with the freedom they get beach washed in machine and sun-soaked dance in air to get themselves dry up! Little did they know how lockdown felt!

Corona Lockdown - Day 36 - 29th April 2020

The day was good. It was a rainy day! I started my day pretty early at 4.30 in the morning. It started raining from 5 onwards. Thought of sitting at the balcony but it was all wet. The birds were chirping constantly. Had attended a morning session on a kind of personality development. It was a good one. We do get feedback on our careers at least once in a year. As a human on this earth - do we really think we need to get the feedback from our near and dear once. Just to check if we are being a right human on this earth - don't we think we should be asking the feedback? Softwares would come every now and then with the latest versions and updates. Don't we think as a human we need to reversion ourselves, rebrand ourselves and be our better selves? I did think about this and got feedback from a few very close family members, and felt good to see how positive others feel than myself. There were few things to improve as well, which I will be considering. We tend to take our positi

Corona Lockdown - Day 35 - 28th April 2020

It was a good day. Cloudy day and the day was filled with many activities. Many a time we think we are inside the home and are locked down and are not going out these days. But the new positive possibilities are hidden at this time. I am putting myself a few questions. Am I learning anything related to the field of my work? Am I giving my dedicated time to people in my world? Am I doing the things I have been hidden under the carpet many times? There are many more queries inside, are we giving a separate dedicated time for answering each query that we had within. Time to analyze and retrospect our own self. My day looked like this. Breakfast: Veg pullav Lunch: Had the same I made for breakfast as it was pending. Dinner: Chapathi, dum aloo, and pudina chutney. Dessert: Egg pudding Meditation: I did complete only the evening meditation session today. I had an important call at noon so I couldn't attend. Work out: Liking this time now. As I usually take up in the evening p
