Day 5 of 21 - Self Quarantined

29th March 2020

Dear Diary, 

It's Sunday (not every Sunday). I had decided to get up really late today. I did not put my alarm and I made sure I had closed my windows at night. I got up at 10 am. I quickly planned my day as I had many things to accomplish today. I did my daily activities and started with the first task of today. 

I got dressed up and took out my camera. Yes, I was going to shoot my next YouTube video for which I had already written the script yesterday. I won't be disclosing the content of the video but it was too much fun to shoot it. Multiple shots, multiple angles, multiple activities kept my day occupied. A small spoiler, there is a sequence involving food, thankfully because of which my lunch automatically got prepared. I cooked egg curry and rice today. It was almost 4 pm now and after all the shooting was over, I quickly had my lunch. I had to get ready for my second activity as planned. 

I got ready, wore my mask, my gloves, covered my head, took a bag and now I was out for a deadly mission, to buy my groceries. I stepped out of my house after almost one and a half weeks. I went on the street and walked towards the shopping cart. The roads were abnormally empty as it was expected. I went inside the shop and the arrangements were really nice. Only a few customers were allowed to go inside at a time, sanitizers were given at the entrance. I quickly bought all the things that I wanted and headed back home. 

As soon as I entered my house, I kept the bought items aside and entered the washroom with all my belongings. I sanitized my phone, my atm card, my wallet, put my clothes inside hot water to wash and then I took a shower.

After taking rest for a little while, I called my family and spoke to them. Even they are now tired of being at home. Once I cut the call, I wanted to start with the last activity that I had planned for the day. 

I opened my laptop, transferred all the videos that I recorded, opened the video editing software and started editing the video. I wanted to finish editing as much as possible. After a while, I looked at the time and it was 11 pm. I heated my dinner and finished having it. 

Now I am lying on my bed, pretty happy with my day as I completed whatever I had planned. My bedtime prayers still remain the same - fast recovery of the world from this pandemic. I would request all my readers to also pray for the speedy recovery of our world. 

With that, good night, sleep tight and we shall meet again tomorrow.
