Corona Lockdown - Day 28 -21st April 2020

The days are rolling in a flash. The ongoing office work and the tasks at home without any help is a bit tough to manage. The timings of breakfast and lunch are delayed and the clock is at its own pace. Its been so many days going out, roaming around the hangout places near the office for the evening tea. Its been quite a lot of time meeting my parents and my kid staying away from Bangalore. At least we have video calls to connect and to see the person while talking and can afford calls as everyone has a mobile in his or her hand, just thinking how people connected earlier and how did they just travel without GPS. It feels how tightly we are coupled with our mobile phone. In a touch we do get the grocery delivered, in a click the money gets credited. My grandmother never believed when I explained to her all these when she was alive. At least we have uninterrupted wifi and a mobile to get ourselves entertained without actually using it for its purpose!

This is how my day looked.

Breakfast: Paddu with tomato chutney

Lunch: lemon rice with fish cutlet ( Thanks to FTH which delivered non-veg. There was this Fish cutlet, wanted to try it out. There were 3 cutlets in a pack which cost around 125 Rupees. It was a nice starter. I just shallow fried on Tawa for 5 minutes and was done. I will certainly order next time)

Dinner: Plain akki rotti with pepper mushrooms along with paneer tikka ( got some time to try out things in the kitchen in the evening)

Thats some level of cooking today.

Meditation: Took only the evening session, had meetings in the morning couldn't take up at 12.

Work out: Around 20 minutes of good work out.

Any new learning: Tried pepper mushroom for the first time. It is simple yet flavourful. Not many ingredients.

Cleaning: Restricted myself to kitchen and its cleaning.

Read & Write: I am not able to hook into my book yet. I need to find one interesting read and find some topics to write.   I need some motivation here.

Music: I did listen to a few instruments. Also some work out tracks, they were really good and motivating :)

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 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...
