My days during lock-down

There is an excitement to stay alone in an apartment with your dogs. During this lock-down when everyone is struggling to cop-up with their growing frustration, I really have the pleasure to enjoy my time all alone with my dogs. I could not realize before that, that life could be so thrilling while spending my days in an apartment far away from my family. Since childhood almost most of us possess the passion to stay all by ourselves and live life as per our own rules.

Yes, at times it is frustrating when I need to do things which I could never imagine to be so boring, but it really prepares to be self dependent holistically. This quarantine bestowed on me the opportunity to know myself well. In fact I feel that most of us do not really know what we are as a human begin. We just keep chasing the basic amenities for survival in daily life. This lock-down is a blessing to us in the shape of curse. It is true that civilization is under great threat but life endowed us with the privilege to know ourselves better through this pandemic.

So long in life, things which were merely matter to me now turned out to be a great deal. Hitherto, I had never realized that sleeping on an empty stomach at night may force me to wake up middle of the night and cook anything to subdue the pang of my hunger. Staying alone taught me to be little more organized in terms of keeping house hold stuff in place. At times it is boring otherwise it is enjoyable to stay alone and do your work in silence and peace. Most importantly, when my body feels like giving up I need to shake it off and move to finish the pending work in kitchen. It made me feel the value of my mother and also all the women who relentlessly work at home to balance everything in life without much of our knowledge.

Life is beautiful, when we know how to accept every form of it. In quarantine, I saw the best version of me; I moulded myself to an inspiring person from what I was. Seeing the morning from my bed gave me a prospect to view the life with passion. With the sunrise the birds and all the living beings on earth comes to movement and run for survival. Every dawn ushers new hope and challenge for all and I am no exception in that. As soon as I step on the floor I start running to get everything in place for my dogs and myself. This extra responsibility made me strong from both sides mentally and physically. I no longer find excuses to spend five more minutes on bed. I just jump off the bed and get my hands on things that need to be done early. Life threw upon new challenge to me and I embraced it with my armed open to enjoy life to the fullest.
