The Lockdown Wishes

Dear Diary,

Story 2.

During my school days, I read a book "The diary of a young girl". It's a book of the diary kept by Anne Frank written during the days when she was hiding with her family due to the Nazi occupation of Netherlands. I always used to wonder as a child about the way life would be if I had to live my life locked in the house. For an extrovert like me this is an obnoxious idea. But today we are in a lockdown situation. It's not exactly like the one Anne Frank faced but we are still stuck in our houses. This made me wonder if the things I would do once the lockdown is over. This is my wishlist of the top 5 things I want to do after the lockdown: 1. Take my daughter to a garden I loved my daily garden visits with my daughter. The one hour of playtime in the evening was so refreshing for both of us. Sometimes my husband or my brother would take her to the garden while I finish the household chores. My daughter loves the swings and the slides. She used to have so much fun interacting with other children. This is definitely the first thing I want to do after the lockdown is over. 2. Watch a movie and enjoy a dinner My husband and I are movie buffs and foodies.

We miss our weekly outings to watch movies or to enjoy a nice meal. Although I am loving my time spent in the kitchen preparing good food for my folks, I'd love to go out and have some fun. 3. Get the air conditioner repaired The weather is getting hotter every day and my air conditioner is not working. As soon as the situation gets better, I will either hire an air conditioner or get the old one repaired so my family can sleep peacefully. 4. Restart the mother toddler program One of the best experiences I have had after coming to Mumbai is the mother toddler program. I was only able to attend this for two weeks but as soon as the lockdown is over, I want to restart the enrollment to the program. This experience not only helps a mother bond with her child but is a great learning experience for the child as well. 5. Enjoy a Spa Day with my mom After working day and night to complete the housework these days, my mother and I totally deserve a spa day. Once the maids are back to work, we will finally have some time for ourselves. This is a short wishlist of the first 5 things that came to my mind. What will you do after the lockdown is over?
