Day 20 of 21 - Self Quarantine

13th April 2020

Dear Diary, 

This is the 2nd last day of the 21 days quarantine. Day 20 is it. These 20 days have been really tough but filled with a lot of learning and self-love. It also made me realize how important it is to meet people, friends, and socialize. Having said that, these 21 days are not just a task to be at home, but it is to fight the pandemic that is going on. And I am very sure that the quarantine would get extended so that the fight continuous. Also, there is yet another announcement that is going to be made by our PM tomorrow at 10 am. He may talk about extending the quarantine period. 

Last night wasn't very peaceful for me. I went to my bed watching "Mardaani 2" movie. The movie is about a psychopath killer who would assault females and eventually kill them brutally. The bold lady police inspector would finally catch him and kill him in public. This whole movie made me think that even in today's world, girls are being assaulted. I seriously believe that some of the sections of our law should be amended and punishment for any crime of assaulting or raping should be taken seriously and immediately. It was almost 3 am when I finally fell asleep. 

It was 11 am when I got up today. I quickly logged in to my laptop and checked my emails. Then I did my daily exercises and freshened up. I decided to eat something light today so I prepared toast and had it with sprouts and banana. I was already very full so I decided to skip my lunch. I then again started working. I had a lot of backlogs that I had to finish. I also had many meetings to attend. And to add to all these pressures, my Wi-Fi stopped working. Then I had to contact the customer care and somehow after an hour or two the problem got resolved. 

In the late evening, I called my family members and had a nice long chat with them. After that, I prepared myself dinner and had it watching videos on YouTube. 

I am now on my bed making sure not to watch any intense movie tonight. I would prefer to see something in the comedy genre. Also, I am a little sad already because the coronavirus cases in India has already crossed 10k.

I keep praying to God to bring all this to an end soon and I request all my readers to also do it. Together we shall all overcome it. 

Good night, stay at home and stay safe. 

With love,
