Learnt to enhance my working ability!

- ANSHIKA SHUKLA

It is going to be about 40 days of isolation, no work, no study, no tension, nothing. I think this is the life we are always looking for. But experienci­ng it, is really irritating and frustratin­g for few days.

Few days, I simply spent all days in watching cartoons, playing carom-ludo, watching ‘Mahabharat’ and ‘Ramayan’ on TV and fighting with my siblings. Then one day, I tried to read a book which I purchased but never opened. I got immense pleasure and got myself in the habit of reading.

Coronaviru­s has totally robbed our busy working schedule but the days we get because of it enhances the capability, talent and creativity. The person who did not like to cook anything now cooks momos, samosa, cake and pani-puri. Each and every family members are now helped mummy to do household chores. Hats off to all mothers, they really did and doing a great job during this lockdown period. We talked too less on social matters but now we all debate on certain social issues. I even called my friends, cousins and relatives. Apart from all this, I am more active on social media and exchanging views etc.

As far as talent is concerned, I become a good calligraph­er these days. I am trying to learn French from the YouTube channel although it is little boring. Yes, one most important work I did is gardening — it is really a good time pass. I am also pursuing my hobby of photograph­y. I have clicked a lot and saved beautiful memories of these days of lockdown.

The isolation days have taught me how to utilise your time and enhancing your working ability. We are getting this time to enjoy with our family out of the busy routine. We will soon get back to our work but I will really miss these days.
