In the Times of Corona...

-

When the entire nation was locked down, we naturally started missing our usual life.


Like the morning rush, as a student of a university which strictly abides by the 75% attendance rule, I have always struggled with making in time to the college for the first class; but when the lockdown was announced my mornings which used to start with a hurry to get to the college were switched with household chores, me leaving the house with an unfinished coffee and a toast in my hand turned into a full-fledged heavy breakfast which obviously made my mom really happy 


But I missed the fast moving life.

The morning makeup routine was no longer a part of my day, the messed-up buns and comfy clothes made me forget what dressing up really is.

I even started missing the Delhi-traffic. For us millennials living in the capital, the dashboard story was a part of our routine too. 

But things that I really missed were getting a change of atmosphere at work and having a normal work routine. These things really made heading back to home a real stress buster. And do I really need to mention sudden hang out plans with friends, eating out at my favorite restaurants and the weekend, like I have really forgotten what the excitement of approaching weekend used to be. 



Now, with the start of June and after surviving 4 lockdowns, there’s UNLOCK-1, one of the most awaited days which allows a maximum chunk of our day-to-days to be normalised after 8th June. And after 68 days of cussing this lockdown, I cannot help but have mixed feelings for it.

Now, I’ll miss the time I got to spend with my family, the skin and hair care routine, me waking up 15 minutes before an online lecture or a work call.

Everything about this quarantine made me realise that time wasn’t the one moving fast, it was me.

  I have been a bit MIA and have a lot of catching up to do on this blog and my all-time favorite topic to discuss after a break has always been FOOD. So, here are some of the places that I visited in Delhi-NCR post lockdown and just loved…. ·          PAUL The one thing that keeps me happy and going even on my worst days are desserts. And this place was one of the firsts on my to-go list post lockdown. Had this ultimate craving of satisfying my sugar tooth and it certainly got fulfilled. They have a delightful range of desserts and I have grown so fond of their hot chocolate that I can even have it on a summer afternoon. ·          DRAMZ One of those places that you go to for a nice view and surprisingly the food turns out good too. The idea was to have an all cheese comfort meal with the view of Qutub and nothing feels better than an outing that got executed just the way it was planned.  ·         PLUM One of the best places in Delhi-NCR for all the sushi lovers. There’s this u

At the Outset...

I am a reserved and a “too shy to face the camera” type. I’ve always hated that how my mode changes from chatter to silent when a person I don’t know or I am not comfortable with walks in or how my nice and chic smile turns into a photo-anxious one when the camera pops up. Whenever I think of working on this, I always find myself wondering that how I’ve always been a sucker for fashion, travel, writing, exploring the nouveau.  After contemplating for some time, I finally decided to follow this passion as a hobby and start this blog as a medium to say it all and aloud. I am a bachelors of technology and by default us engineers are always assumed to be a geek but I am strong believer of doing everything which feels right and I think we should always do what makes us feel good and stop looking out for validation from other people. Nobody’s perfect and we can be the best version of all that we want by getting aware of what makes us feel comfortable and by working to achieve what we aspire.
