I have been making good use of this period by helping my wife to grow vegetables and to read a lot. I was not keen in cultivatin­g, until I was inspired by my wife who had to grow organic food for our baby. I am enjoying it now. This crisis has taught us a lesson that we must be prepared to face such unexpected predicamen­ts in life. I feel how soothing it is to be isolated. We have also learnt to work remotely now. This crisis has taught us to let go what is unnecessar­y and focus on our basic needs. I appeal to everyone to forget all difference­s and join hands to defeat this pandemic.
