The situation of lockdown has changed the way we live our lives. It has influenced various aspects of our social life as well. We cannot go out and meet our loved ones. Hanging out with friends & partying all night has suddenly become the trend of yesteryears. But the lockdown has also proved to be a blessing in disguise in certain aspects. It has unexpectedly brought back the innocence of the past that withered away in our busy lifestyle.
Here are some factors that prove that lockdown has reversed everyday situations in our lives.
#MeTimeVsFamilyTime
With plenty of time in hand, people get to talk, share, eat, and have fun with their family members. They don’t bail out on each other by making excuses like they have a presentation to make or a party to attend.
#CookingAtHome
Ordering food from a favourite restaurant has been replaced by relishing home-cooked food. Just like old times, when Sunday ka puri-halwa made by mom used to be the most awaited meal of the whole week.
#FollowYourPassion
Just like old times, hobbies like silai, kadai, and bunaai are back in trend with a perfectly modern touch. After all, following your long-lost passion is the best way to utilise your time during the lockdown.
#FamilyDinner
Remember the famous scene from 70 or 80’s movies when family members used to sit around a big dining table and eat lunches & dinners together. Yes, now it’s a common sight in every household that looks no less than a scene right out of some Bollywood flick.
#SharingChores
A few decades ago, the concept of the housemaid was not so popular in middle-class families. And people never hesitated in doing their household chores. Just like old times, subah ka nashta, din ka jhaadu pocha, and raat ke bartan are now conveniently divided among siblings. They do it without any complaints as a new form of workout to stay fit.
#CelebrateAtHome
The lavish birthday parties at expensive restaurants are replaced by simple celebrations at home with family members. You might miss having booze and pizza with your buddies at a fancy place, but nothing comes closer to relishing the homemade cake baked by your mom.
#IndoorHobbies
Now that people cannot step out of their homes, indoor hobbies are back in trend. Plants are like their new buddies, and taking care of them is equivalent to chilling and having fun with their pals.
The lockdown will be over in some time. But you’ll always cherish the memories that you’ve created with your loved ones during this period. Don’t stress and live every moment to the fullest.
