We all are stuck at our homes these days. Despite the fact that Lockdown 2.0 has began, life is still stopped at the standstill. Nothing is same anymore. We can’t go out to chill with friends anytime we want. There are no more Saturday Night Discos. Even going out for movies isn’t the same anymore. Life has somehow become boring and ‘not-so-happening’ all of a sudden. Even though we are still burdened from just the same amount of workload, targets and meetings, the FUN factor kind of seems to be missing from our lives.

You can stay up the whole night in your pyjamas without a single worry in life. Well, yeah, there are things to be worried about. Like corona, bills, the fact that you still haven’t received your salary, you’re missing your friend a lot, and many more. But that’s the thing. You can get a cup of coffee, or some chocolates or maybe a bowl full of your favorite ice-cream and let all the worrries wander off your mind for some time. It’s a thing you’re never going to regret.

Yeah sure, we all enjoyed it when we got some time for our families when Corona was in the early stages. The time to be together and bond wasn’t available earlier due to the fast pace of our lives. But now, many of us are bored and agitated to be locked in such enclosed spaces for a long period of time. And consequently getting farther away emotionally than before due to lack of privacy and spending too much time together without any sort of respite. In fact, according to the several researches, many couples in India and abroad, have started to file for divorce for irreconcilable differences. It’s merely because of the fact that they just can’t spend a lot of time together. Now it’s high time that we turn our shortcomings into our strong points. Look for common interests to enjoy the things that both of you like.
