Day 14 Of 21 - Self Quarantine

07 April, 2020

Dear Diary,

This is the day 14th of my self quarantine. Initial days of this lock-down was horrible for me. I never thought that I will learn to fight with this but look at it now, its been already 14 days. Today I will not creep about my losses during this quarantine, instead I will share my learning with you. To start with, I think I have become more mature in sense of handling this kind of situations. Now I am emotionally stronger than before. I started loving myself more now a days, I think I am taking good care of myself. Nowadays I am improving my verbal skills because of no visual communications. And most importantly that I have become more productive than earlier. I am able to focus on my ongoing things which I really like doing. I am happy that you are again in my life because somehow in my busy life I totally forget about you. But look at the scenario now, in this isolation also you are there with me. Thank you for always being available for me.

The day started as usual but the highlight of day is that I was going out, yes you heard it right. I went outside today to buy few necessary items. As soon I stepped out, I see the empty streets, no honk of vehicles, no chaos of our human life. All I can feel is the fresh and cool air and rustling of leaves when I walk on the empty streets.

I waited for few minutes in order to get into the store, I purchased my necessary stuff and walked back home. This is the first time when I went into a store and there is no chaos, funny to see all this. Well, I came back and of course sanitized everything and then started to work.

The day passed very soon, and in the evening, I received a call from a lady representing StoryMirror. She told me that as you are nominated for the author of the week, please don’t forget to share the voting link among your friend circle to get the title, and of course which I totally forgot. Then I came into my senses and started sharing the voting link to my friends. Hope for the best, I have just two days left.

Here in Bangalore the weather is good, so the evenings are awesome. I just spent my evening sitting at my Varanda and looking at the clouds. I saw the birds getting back to their homes. As the time passed, I started feeling cold and I went inside my room.

Just now I had my dinner and watched a movie on Hotstar. You know diary, it’s good that you are here because I like talking to you.

Praying for a better tomorrow and hoping that things come under control. Whatever nature is trying to convey us through this pandemic, I hope we humans understand that and once everything gets over we don't repeat the same errors which we did in our past.

Keep safe and stay at homes.

Good night. 

With love,
