Hello peeps, this is primarily the third weekend of our lockdown and all of us are waiting for the long-anticipated quarantine days to end! We are busy chilling by watching web shows, our work from home schedule has taken a toll on us already.
Although all of us are trying to be productive during this period, let's accept the fact it may get a little boring from time to time. It's admirable that the government is bringing in all forces and trying their best to curb the challenges that lay ahead and the entire medical fraternity is out there keeping us safe.
The clatter of utensils and clapping of hands amongst all Indians left an unforgettable day which history will remember.
The move was a simple way to show solitude and gratitude for all our warriors fighting COVID-19, especially the doctors, paramedics, associations with essential services. So, while your homebound, take a moment to feel blessed and grateful for all the brave hearts who are fighting fearless through this pandemic only to let no harm get to us!
