Lockdown Diary 4 : A confusing phase

 Diary 4: A confusing phase. Day 55 (18th May 2020) Monday. One might wonder why am I calling it a confused phase. Just have a look at the blueprint of lockdown 4 first. It's been extended till 31st May 2020. It is confused phase because they have opened market places. While people still struggle to understand the meaning of social distancing. 🤷🙄 Any sane person will still avoid visiting crowded places when corona scare still lurks and people who will go out are already going out since day one. (The most untamed animals of the animal kingdom.😤) This feels like opening the liquor shops situation all over again. Let's wait for these changes to show colors. Lockdown 4 is going to be an interesting diary I suspect.  Stay tuned. 10:40 Finally this lockdown has some music in store.

It's the silent killer that's making too much noise these days. The only way to break the chain is to stay at home.  Therefore, on 24th March 8 PM the Prime Minister of India announced a 21 days lockdown. Initially people were asked to self- impose it on themselves but some COVIDIOTS(GOOGLE THE TERM) are taking it as lightly as their brain. Hence, it was imposed stringently.  As they say, "it takes 21 days to make or break a habit." I decided to make some changes in my lifestyle. I am documenting it to inspire myself to follow through the routine for 21 days. Day 1- (25th March 2020) It's 6:36 AM...
