Little calm is returning back. As Unlock begins, things are beginning to cripple back to normalcy and I am sure no one is going to forget enduring 4 lockdowns and we’re going to talk about it even after the pandemic is over at least I will. God knows the lockdown was at the right time or now, the timing of unlock is correct or not; but we are being made to think that we have to learn to live with it. Anyway, I wanted to continue this narrative journey by sharing my quarantine experience. Without further ado, let’s dive right into it. When WHO declared Corona Virus as a global pandemic, the only fear I had in my mind apart from getting infected by the virus was not to develop an unscheduled lifestyle because of being at home. Although, I was attending all my lectures online; it was the end of semester so I had a lot of assignments and completion of my research paper lined up; but still I didn’t want the comfort of being at home to disrupt my organised life in the longer run.

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.

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.
