Honestly speaking , not trying to be rude , i feel privileged to have a house a roof over my head,walls around me to live in that protects me and my loved ones during this global pandemic ;that too a house with all facilities-air conditioner, smart tvs, wifi, smartphones; isse zyaada kya chahiye. I think about the homeless community during this crisis. We have been told to stay at home ,stay inside .Those people do not have a place to stay inside,living on the roads without houses .Where are they going to go to protect themselves? We constantly complain about heat sitting inside our house so what about those who do not have a roof on their heads living directly under the sun. We should feel privileged to have the ability to buy stuff we need to battle against this pandemic and to keep ourselves comfortable.For people complaining about what to do at home, bored at home, stuck at home , blah blah blah;fyi you are not "stuck" at home,you are safe at home.You are at home so that you do not contact this disease. You are not "caged" at home you are advised to stay at home to save your life. Honestly this quarantined period have been some of the most productive days i have had. Leaving the house at 6 in the morning and returning at 10 in the night; switching trains and switching classes had been my schedule for the past 4 years and never realising that before this major much needed halt. I have had complete control over the 24 hours of my day. I could choose how to use every single one. I could stop to see beautiful mornings and beautiful sunsets from my window and not from some railway station. I had chats with my neighbours ,milkman, watchman and learn about their lives ,their culture, their families and realised the importance of the worker class in our daily life. I watched full 3 hour gujrati film at one go with my grandmother, learned family recipes from her and also learned that the only antidote to any problem in life is waking up early. I cooked with my mom everyday and now we sync in the kitchen. I realised that there are chores in the house that are needed to be done which we never knew existed because mom made running a house look effortless. Dad taught me his business and investments and also learned about his future plans for them. I learned that government insurances have low premiums than an amazon prime subscription. With the new trends and other games on WhatsApp i actually came to know people on my family groups;us cousins have been closer than ever. I contacted people that i wished to talk to but couldn't due to clashing timetables and learned that i miss my best friends' faces and not even video calls help. I am telling you learning a new skill has such an adrenaline rush. I learned to solve a rubic cube learned lots and lots of new dishes. I could also revisit all my childhood hobbies that were packed away for vacations that never come. I could catch up on series and movies on my watchlist and some more because why not. Guys a lot of seasons are going to be postponed just saying. And the most important thing that i could catch up on was endless sleep. I listened music without travelling to anywhere,scrolled through old photo albums,organised my wardrobe,spent unacceptable hours on youtube watching rubbish,read books of my choice instead of study modules because iss time me kaun padhaega yaar kantala aa raha hai. I realised that living with parents and living in mumbai has been a comfort blanket for me. I have never been more thankful to have such a life because these days have been good for me and till date i have never been bored but instead a lot productive. I urge people to stop complaining and start helping and using these days to their fullest and wish to god to never bring back these days again. #Staypositive
