100 days of Lockdown

 Something prick my mind at different ages. Why don’t you feel lonely all alone? Mostly between me and my mind all ends. You don’t have to speak out when you get all answers within you, i feel that way. I could call myself obsessive minded one, my thoughts wander freely .one way keeping me active !!the other way it kills my time on a busy day. I am one of those who wouldn’t even wait for a long weekend to travel. Just plan before a night nap and start my journey few hours later before sunrays hit the land. Traveling with a wage plan having a slight fear How it would end up ..? where it will take you ..? is a riddle throughout the journey one should experience it for sure ."Cover the earth before it covers you" is one of my fav Quote , if not at least go with your region .All my travel plans holds a combination of things like, sunrise/sunset view to  admire the reflections light creates when it penetrates through layers to form diff colors.Surely a visual treat for a rider, explore uniqueness/speciality of the place, get to know people their lifestyle , bring back something when you return ,it may be an object or a memory to rejoice rest of your life .

 
 Deciding to stay inside room for next 100 days, it was a challenging question of survival to me. But not being able to step outside doesn’t mean you can’t explore right..?  Now the only travel i do is from my room to kitchen -kitchen to balcony. YES, i am missing travel a Lot. After deciding to stay 100 days inside a room now i should frame few protocol to make it better and ease my soul too.  Now it’s time to check my determination and analyse myself. Because i get suffocated in a closed area at the same time should be able to train my mind loving this as well. To me everything is an experience, fear popup when one deeply wanted to prove / achieve through his act. Most of the times this would stop us from trying out something .so view everything as a beginner and start learning this is a wonderful universe and it has lot to tell us.
 
Do something to break the routine:
 
 Day 1 : Base line rule is not to step out of my room ,so obviously my family supported with food to all other requirements over the table i could say. Post completing my regular things i follow to do daily.. don’t imagine much just a few smaller ones like first 15 mins of eye exercise next 15 to relax ,30th min out of my bed for a short walk to see the sky and listen to birds. Continued with a glass of plain water, begin the day with a song. Being my profession it’s a tradition to spend good amount of time with laptop. Apart from daily activities, decided to do something i lost touch recent years. As i wish to be inside a room env , Looked around me it was an unused  old desktop purchased at my high school , decided to repair it. Second day: Took boxes from storage room and watched photo albums along with family to recollect events. sometimes i felt right for not capturing few special moments to avoid pains. Everyone would have travelled from non-digital to digital era and still you feel it’s all good olden days. where you had more time to talk, play, spend time together rather than drowning into the screens. Few things are felt more than words those days!! are always cherished.
 
So called day-arrived ( Born day ): 
 
 Sometimes life doesn’t move in a planned manner, we have to go by the flow. Lockdown has taught us many things for few we would have started knowing the neighbourhood, few others could have managed to cook by yourself, few would have realised the value of relationship. COVID would have made one realising that you have missed few things not done may be for someone its responsibility or give an incomplete feel in life. To my eagerness/shock i am not sure Y..? the day it all started till now don’t have no where a room for fear or any such feel. I hope living without any expectation / having a good past experience made me content.

 Everyone would like them self more!! It was a different way of surprise ,when i was asked to bake my own cake. More fun part is when we waited till 12 o’clock: you know wats next, i was asked to bring the cake myself and arrange it over the table. Finally, this was surprising me. Undoubtedly sister s my partner in crime , Next scene we ended up jumping into next building (keep it with you) to try lantern flying. Even though this lockdown crashed my travel plans on this day.It was not much less, had a filled day with family. we are Gifted with her making us smile every time. she lifts us like an angel. Many such good moments with her but in specific i wish to thank for my first road trip with her. To me Every birthday is a new life, learn to live and view this world without any flaws.If you consider yourself  a new born one on each occasion, you would lead a better life. wishing you all new life ...!!!
 
Social media and entertainment:
 
 Every day was a fresh keeping myself occupied the way i liked. Never into a place seeing myself with a long face How time flies? Other hand i was highly running out of time with my work. Really had less space for social media’s. Mean time i followed some amazing travellers profile over Instagram and Facebook. who travelled some beautiful destinations voyaged around INDIA. That is absolutely soothing about watching travel / food vlogs. So that you can go virtual tours and aspire to be there some day.
 
 It’s all about Radio:
 
 Remember the time when you last heard a random play list song over a radio? By chance it’s your favourite one. I do Created that kind of experience at home. You can find numerous sound tracks over your smart phones or gadgets easily. I bet that can never match up with this, even a YouTube jukebox won’t do. There isn’t much noise outside, because there's hardly vehicular traffic due to lockdown. At any cost i promise myself to stand by the balcony to watch the sunset which i don’t get on a regular work day. The rustle of the trees because of stronger winds, chirping of birds few heading back to the nest, make a painting for an artist / a good snap to a photographer else it will make your day for a normal person like me. Few late night programs over the radio drag me to next day .. Trust me we do have a huge listener for Radios. You will forget the pain of ads and some misleading Headlines.
 
 Global pandemic situation forgets about stepping out of the city we haven’t stepped out of our houses in a while. This doesn’t mean we are in bad shape, make your day rise faster than before. This lockdown helped me to TRY few things missed recently or never done. Even i do miss few regular activities like travel, friends, office, place, trips, break time, temple where i get to say 'hi' and thank him for all the blessing. Find out a way i have started my journey already this lockdown.
