It’s a 21 DAY Lockdown in India
Today is Day 02 of the 21 day nationwide lockdown in India. There are 650 cases of Covid-19 so far, few are cured and 13 have lost their lives. To break the virus spread cycle, the Prime Minister announced a nationwide lockdown starting from midnight of 25th march’20.
Today, the government also announced to provide free ration and utilities to the low wagers whose work and life have been affected due to the lockdown. Yesterday, some of the states in India released a list of the stores that will provide home delivery via online services during this lockdown for household essentials.
The efforts of the government and the administration, be it the police, paramedical staff, doctors & nurses, cleaning staff and media, are proving to be commendable and fruitful. About 90% of the Indian population is staying at home and following the government orders. But the rest of the 10% can make it go down the drain with their over-confidence and not so common, common-sense! The Lockdown was announced to keep those 10% inside the houses too.
The Prime Minister had initially announced a “Janta Curfew” (People’s Curfew) on Sunday, 22nd March’20 . People obeyed it so well, that it made it clear that India wants its freedom against the corona virus. But the next day, people roamed around like they’ve won the battle against this pandemic, that apparently is affecting most of the countries of the world! Hence, a nationwide lockdown was the need of the hour.
All around the internet, Indian celebrities are getting a chance to connect to their fans in various ways and are also following their duties as an influencer, to aware people and persuade them to stay at home.
Even I wrote a piece on “How to get the best out of your 21 Days” on my blog.
If people really utilise these days to the fullest, they’ll understand the true meaning of self-love , empathy, compassion and the value of life.
The best thing about the lockdown is not just the breaking of the spread cycle but also to realise that the environment is going to breath well for a while. But also, after these 3 weeks end, I’m sure, the most rush will be at the Salons & Spas! The bright side is, if people really utilise these days to the fullest, they’ll understand the true meaning of self-love , empathy, compassion and the value of life.
This pandemic has gotten into our souls. It’s all we read, hear, think and live! It has affected our minds so much so, that we can not see the way out!
Once all of this is over, we will heal together and we’ll share together the storms we all experienced individually.
There is a way out. There’s always is a way out. We’re all waiting for it. I hope it comes soon. Once this is all over, the human race will come out of it as more evolved as a being, more kind, more informed. Once all of this is over, we will heal together and we’ll share together the storms we all experienced individually.
Once this is over, we’ll love our NORMAL and we’ll live in a better way.
Amen.
