Due For An Upgrade

I don't know how all this will unfold either, but I imagine we will need to evolve.

Thanks for reading.

My Pandemic Diary: Voice of the Coronavirus Pandemic

 It’s a diary by nature but it’s my personal experience. Coronavirus was spreading like anything in India when Janta Curfew was declared. At this point of time I decided to travel back to my natives from Delhi as Delhi was turned the hub for the virus. Facing couple of blows from the auto-rickshaw driver and the cab drivers I reached the airport where I could notice mass of people trying to return back to their natives wrapped in PPE kits face covered with masks hands with gloves waiting for the announcement. The best kind of motivation is always self-motivation. After few days when the Nizamuddin cases raised I was targeted for being a Muslim and travelling from Delhi. Neighbors stopped speaking, if parents went for vegetable shopping people started staring. I had my own struggle which was stopped after me complaining to the Superintendent of Police.

Quarantine is the separation and restriction of movement of people who have potentially been exposed to a contagious disease to ascertain if they become unwell, so reducing the risk of them infecting others .Self-quarantine had an additional stress and challenge on my mental health when I was tested positive for COVID. But I tried some physical activity and relaxation techniques which turned to be a valuable tool and helped me in remaining calm and continue to protect my health during this time. I have started focusing on my health more and have started 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity every week. Being physically and mentally fit is very important for a person. Books helps to be optimistic in my life and stay positive during this pandemic. I have start making plans for the entire coming week so that it will keep me excited for the entire week. I’m taking care of myself eating regularly and having enough sleep which is helping me in reducing stress. I’m listening to music, watching movies, and have also started writing blogs which I thought I will not be able to do earlier. I have generated a proactive nature in me during this pandemic because I feel attitude is all which gives the power and control to the uncertain situation. Also, taking care of me has not only helped me stay healthy, it has also helped me stay calm and focused so that I can adequately take care of my family members.  I have always refrained writing about my life in pandemic until now. Now the world is opening many new things are coming in the way. After seeing so many deaths and sad news now being optimistic in nature some ray of hope is coming in my way. I have started having imaginary conversation with our toddler in our house. It likely won’t come as a surprise that doing something for me and for your my own purposes is likely to be more fulfilling, enjoyable, and successful than doing something to please others.

I remembered about Tumblr. 

I used to go here every time I wanted to read others’ input. The feelings and thoughts gets me entertained and somehow interested.. 

A lot of things had happened in the past years and I didn’t bother to make a consistent update regarding what has been going on in my life right now or what has already passed.. I just forgot how expressive I was. I forgot my love for writing.. 

Then last night, I was putting my son to sleep.. *yes I have a son now.. :)

I remembered the old Apps that I used to be part of. Friendster, Multiply,  TUMBLR. Yep so I remembered this wonderful site. Luckily, I still remembered my old email and password to log in. YAY!

This pandemic, a lot of good old memories kept coming back when I am daydreaming. I understand why I keep on remembering old stuff.. cause the present just sucks. This pandemic kept us in our house for how long I can’t even remember. I just reminisce the days when we were so free and just living life. 

And here I am today. writing my first ever blog. I am back.

Decided that a global pandemic is as good a time as ever to put all my notebook hoarding to good use and start a paper journal.

2020: The Year of Standing in Line for EVERyThiNG

Thanks to everyone who waited in crazy-long lines to vote this year. NYC had early voting for the first time in history and many waited 4 to 5 hours just to cast their ballots this year. ⁣

It’s an unprecedented Election Day in the U.S. today. I saw musicians performing in front of polling sites to keep spirits up. ⁣⁣

In uncertain times: may there be equal parts hope. ⁣

Even the pavement is getting vaxxed

Take this mask away from me.

I can’t wear a mask anymore. It’s boiling hot outside, the temperature goes up to 41 degrees with high levels of humidity. I walk into a shop wearing gloves and a mask so cautious of not having to touch anything other than the things I need.

The mask is suffocating me, it’s making it hard to breathe. It’s supposed to protect me but all it’s doing is taking my breath away and not in the way I would like.

I’ve been made terrified of germs because paranoia has spread faster than the actual disease. I sit in the car and take my gloves off, my hands are dripping with sweat like water.

This world has become apocalyptic and there’s no escape in sight.

1st July 2020.
