Quarantine period

Part 1

It was one fine morning, may be around 6am. A call from my mother woke me up. She was on the other side, "sanu, you haven't woke up yet? What about bhauju? I hope you guys are staying in. Don't go outside. And cut your nails, remove your nail polish as well. Daddy said there are chances of getting infected by virus. You are washing your hands often right?". It was six in the morning and hearing my mom's voice in such rush woke me up from my sleep. I tried to calm her down. But she continued," it's the fifth case now in baglung. I hope we survive this. "

Yes, this is about the noble virus covid 19 that has caused the pandemic all over the world. Right now in nepal it has been almost a week of country being in state of complete lock down. It has been 10 days of quarantine period. People are watching news every other second, waiting for next positive case like missile that is about to be dropped.

Yes, it has been a complete nightmare here in nepal. The people being infected has been increasing every day and people are living under a fear of when might be their last day. It has been more difficult for farmers and workers who earn in daily basis. If the lock down ends there might be chances of spreading the virus but the lock down has caused economic crisis.

In the mean while, elderly people and young children are living with trauma as it has been claimed that they are the ones most prone to infections. People are posting videos and photos of family, some random memes. May be they all are terribly terrified and it is their way of dealing with the fear. Doctors are nurses are working day and night to find the cure, the cause of infection and the medium of transmission. How chaos it has been, the year 2020.

But we should not lose hope. There might not be many things to do around at home but there are still few things you can do in this quarantine period. You can use this time to groom yourself. Tick off those to do list you have been postponing for years, finish of the book that has been lying in your bookshelf, learn to cook the new dish.

Work on those abs that you have been wanting for so long and never had the time to work out, get done with the story that you have left in the middle. We can still fight this together. You me and every one of us, stay home and stay safe. Let's not take this situation lightly and all be cautious and careful.
