Corona Lockdown - Day 16 - 9th April 2020

Bonjour! Hurray!! My first unit of French online course is done. During 2013, I had two classes per week of an hour each on French. In between the ongoing office tasks and the trainer training us in office made most of us stressed. Few of us used to sit on the last bench opening the laptop and doing the priority tasks that been assigned to us. I never realized the importance of the classes. When I realized to learn it on my own, I can surely see the difference. 

There are many books lying in my bookshelf and they are inviting! Taking everything step by step. There is this sense of accomplishment when I see the things I have done instead of cribbing on what I have not. Happy with the way my list of tasks is going. 

This is how my day went.

Breakfast: Plain Akki rotti with soppu palya

Lunch: Bassaru and soppu

Dinner: curd rice

That's the heavy cooking in the morning! Cleaning those green leaves, wash it twice or thrice, cut it, put those soaked grams. Cook it once with water and pinch of salt. Drain the green leaves, the stock is made into bassaru and the residue is made as palya. Mission accomplished in the morning! Only making rice was for the noon.

Meditation: Took both the sessions on meditation. It feels good to see the almost 1.2+ million people from 140+ countries taking up the session at the same time. This is helping much!

Read: No reading from my book, otherwise read other short stories in Medium.

Write: Wrote a small poem, I cannot call it as a sonnet though it has 14 lines :) 

Work out: Had 25 minutes works out on my core!

Cleaning: The daily cleaning is going, as usual, it has become a routine, I need to plan on cleaning balconies, I know its a tough job, but there is no good time than this!

New learning: French lessons. Now I know how I can introduce myself and days of the week in French. The next lesson is the number and relationships.

Music: Many tracks today! Om chants while making breakfast, instrumentals while working, some random track while working out and it turned out to be a good one, 

The lockdown is going to be extended for another two weeks until April 30th as of now. Hopefully this will end sooner. To my surprise tomorrow is a holiday, I don't understand what is so good about this Friday when it cant be counted as a long weekend being at home!!
