Such Times : Lockdown – Covid19

It’s been more than a month now since my last post. I think about you people and my blog every day but could not put up a post here.

So, I thought to come up with a post today to share how am I doing during these days amidst this pandemic called Coronavirus due to which we all are locked in our homes. It’s been more than a month to the lockdown with so much of negativity and fear all around.

Well, me and my family are fine. I hope you all are doing good and practising all the necessary safety precations. Do tell me, how are you guys?

Well, human race has advanced to the point that even in this lockdown, nothing can stand still and we are still working and we should be thankful for that. We are not going to office, that is the only difference. Rest everything remains same. Infact, we are working more now. Working FROM home and working AT home. This is same for me, my husband, my friends and my family members. I am sure the situation is same for most of the people out there. Maids aren’t available, so every house hold chore has to be done by self. I think during this time, we have learnt the value of smallest of things and the moments that we never even considered to think about and most important, we have learnt to live without any support system and external entertainment.

Coming to the basics and talking about my every day routine. My each day is consumed by cooking meals for both of us, doing dishes and achieving my productivity at office work. My husband helps me in keeping the house clean, getting groceries from market and keeps me positive and smiling through out the day. At the end of the day, we watch a bit of news to keep up with our current affairs and then we switch to our favorite series at Amazon Prime before finally dozing off. So, the month of April is special for me as my b’day and wedding anniversary falls in the same month.

My b’day : 4th April

Wedding Anniversary : 29th April

So, this time the celebration was very different and we couldn’t do much.

To be honest it was little boring as I usually like to go out to celebrate.

However, I tried to make it interesting with my culinary skills🙈

I had cooked special dishes to make our anniversary special.

• Dal Makhni
• Kadhai Paneer
• Chilli Garlic Paratha
• Anniversary special cake.

Here are the pictures🌸😎🥳

It was a delicious dinner that we enjoyed.

Talking about my b’day, it was way simpler. I had made Pav Bhaji and helped my dear husband with the cake which he wanted to bake for me🧡

My B’day Cake❤

I missed to click a picture of Pav Bhaji🙄

During this whole month, I had tried my hand at many more dishes. Let me know if you would like to see the pictures or would like to know the recipes.

At the end, I just want to say that I know the time is hard, but we must not lose hope and give up to anxiety and depression. We can come out of this disease only when we ARE and WOULD be together.

What is your daily routine and how are you spending your time during lockdown?

Happy Lockdown🤠
