Quarantining in 2020 - Part 2
Well, As I said here are few consequences noted due to the quarantine.So,basically we are all at home.This is such an unusual situation the World is facing right now.To my knowledge, the world would have never seen such kind of situation anytime before.
So,the 40 days and counting quarantine here has started with a complete country lock down on March 24,Sunday for a day and called this as Janata Curfew which means a curfew by the people (for the people too :D ). All the big malls and movie theatres were closed even before this happened.
The lockdown was then extended for 21 days more which was until April 14 - the first complete lock down for the country where all the modes of transportation including domestic and international except for goods have been shut.All the industries, shops, religious places, tourism and pilgrimages were all shut down and any major events or functions were asked to minimalise or postpone during this period to avoid huge crowd gatherings there by fighting against the spread of the virus.For the every day necessities , steps were taken and arranged.
People were stuck as and where they are with no way to move.You can definitely not be able to cross any state borders.Students , employees and other range of people who work at different locations were stuck at those places in the PG's or rented homes.Few PG's were closed and they had no other option other than to leave to their hometowns . So, on such requests few Governments provided letters and those with the letters were allowed to migrate to their home states on a given day.
While most of the sectors were shut down, few sectors like IT where the work can still be continued remotely started using that option for continuing their business and deliveries.Meanwhile, there were daily wage labourers who suffered a lot from the lack of income - however there formed few ways of helping such people by raising funds in which the part was taken from the Central Government, State governments to individuals, NGO's and other groups. The Function halls,hotels and other such places were turned into Quaratine zones for homeless and the needy people and they were provided with food through many ways possible.
The Irony is :
Due to all these actions taken by the entire country (some other parts of the world too )
=> The air is now getting pure BUT wearing a mask is mandatory
=> Roads are all empty BUT no long drives are possible
=> People have clean hands BUT there they cant shake hands like before
=> Friends have time to sit together BUT they cannot get together at a place
=> The chef inside you is full on mode BUT you cannot invite anyone for lunch or dinner
=> There is enough time on hand BUT you don't know what to do
Ah!Such a mess :(
In an other way, this is an unexpected boon we have all got too.We got a chance to re visit our living style and modify as required. We were all so busy in the ever running world all these days, No time to see us , no time to talk to our friends, running behind the schedules , depending on the machines for everything.
Our typical lifestyle would not be having any major things other than - waking up, getting ready , run to offices and schools , chase the timelines, come back home ,sleep and repeat. Such a monotonic lifestyle!! :/ - Still we feel exhausted ,unhappy and dissatisfied most of the times. Why?
May be this is the time that we all ever wanted to have, A much needed Break for the world, sometime for thinking about ourselves and for our people around us and not to forget - Our nature - We never cared for her cautiously but yet we were treated right most of the time.May be she is exhausted in bearing with us and our stupid acts and may be she wanted us to know what can happen if she stops caring for us - We definitely got a few such warnings in the form of natural disasters recently increasing in number.We got a chance to learn what actually are needs and what are wants and what exactly should we be longing for.
I always used to think this way - To maintain cleanliness or healthy environment (or anything ) around is actually easy given that every individual takes up on their duties and become responsible just about them and their surroundings , the entire country and the entire world will be in place ultimately. Uh! Here is the point , 'every' individual must do it , even if one doesn't take it up, the chain breaks and cannot be achieved.
Now, during this pandemic when 'every'one is at home ,doing their works by themselves :
The roads are no longer busy with the hell lot of people on it , No air pollution, No sound pollution, those little creatures like sparrows and other birds are now flying up in the sky happily which usually would be filled by the planes that fly for every 5 or 10 minutes . People's minds are more peaceful than before.Got sometime to look around and know your neighbors :D :P .Actually talk and socialize like it s meant to be done ( not on the internet )
Well, lets see what's more is there for us . See you .
