Day 18 of 21 - Self Quarantine

11 April 2020

Dear Diary,

How are you? Well, I am doing good or if I can say that I am surviving this pandemic situation. Reading or listening to news makes my day even worse. The graph of COVID affected people is growing day after day. It looks like there is no stop to this. After taking so many safety measures, still, we as a nation are lagging somewhere.

Nowadays I am getting up really late, it's almost daily past noon. As the days pass by, I am getting lazier and lazier. After my regular household activities and meditation, I had my lunch. The afternoons are so lazy that I spend the whole of it just sitting and watching web series in one place. 

During the conversation with my family, I came to know that there is a possibility that the lockdown will get extended. Well, there are few major cities of India that are already sealed till the end of April. I am scared if the same happens in my city, it's going to be a nightmare for me. Its already been a month that I am locked in my room and went only twice to get groceries.

Hearing about the seal down, I think I will have to once again go out and stock myself for the next few weeks. I never ever thought even in my scariest dream that we will even see a day like this in our lives. There is nothing we can do apart from being at home and helping the service providers. This is the least that I can do to support my government and nation.

As the days are passing, I feel broken from inside. This loneliness has started consuming my positivity. The support of my family is the key to my survival now.

Every day I am praying that things should be fine as soon as possible. Till then stay at home and stay safe.

With love,

Arti
