LOCK-DOWN


Corona virus khatam ho na ho, but this lockdown will definitely make half of India Master-Chef and the other half a Fitness-instructor. That was my FB status couple of weeks back. I am really tired and hell bored of looking on those lame pictures of Dinner tables and videos of home workouts. But then I thought that, atleast they are doing something to kill their free time, something positive in these scary times of Pandemic. What am I doing? Doing what I am best at, criticizing things! That moment hit me hard and I thought of doing something productive and stop criticizing altogether or at least not these TikTok videos or dinner recipes J


In last two weeks I regained my lost love for the things which I forgot in this mad rush called life. Picked up a book to read after a gap of more than 3 years and finished it in few days. After Scion of Ikshvaku by Amish Tripathi now I am reading The barefoot investor by Scott Pape. Happy to the core, I am back into the game.
Opened two new trading accounts to start investing and playing with the market, which I always loved and lostJ. But this time I made a resolution of getting the knowledge first and then jumping into the ocean of moneymaking, that’s why that second book which I mentioned above.
Coming out of Hibernation is tough, only a bear can tell it better than a writer.  It took me more than four and half years and a Pandemic to come back to writing. As much as I remember I haven’t opened a word document since that last blog. The second book I was writing ‘sequel to the RAINBOW- The shades of love’ is left half-done years ago and I haven’t touched that either since the day I landed in this part of the world; Hopefully, will start writing that again.
As of now I am happy that at least I have started doing the things which I love the most. And this much positivity is enough to survive the COVID-19 Lock-Down.
