What did I learn in a 40 day lockdown

What did I learn during the 40-day lockdown ??

  1. Life is unpredictable and life does not happen as we plan. Many times we expect and plan a certain thing- for example, a long Holiday, all this comes to a standstill when there are unpredictable circumstances that show up and you just have to go with the flow and not get miserable. 
  2. Dependency on a sole income source- we usually depend on the sole income source at a given point in time, but that's risky when it comes to such a situation. All we need is a backup plan ready during such calamities or an unexplained pandemic. 
  3. Upgrade your skills- This pandemic has definitely given us more time to discover our strengths and weaknesses. instead of wasting this precious time in self-entertainment, it's best to utilize this time for upgrading your skills and knowledge in any form whatsoever.  
  4. Inculcating values and developing a sense of responsibility amongst the younger generation - life is not a bed of roses. It can be harsh sometimes. Acting responsibly makes a lot of sense during such a crisis. 
  5. Toddlers are not always fun, however, they are far more patient and responsible than us-Adults.
  6. Being innovative and creative is the need of an hour. I personally tried all new and innovative ideas and fun games to keep my kid occupied. especially, when you know, you have to be their friend, parent, entertainer & teacher all at the same time.
  7. It's liberating not to socialize and be with your own self for a certain period of time. This gives you a broader perspective on life.
  8. Video calling your family members has become a routine.
  9. Miss munching on mom-made dishes and vada pav 
  10. Learned innovative cooking hacks with limited groceries.






  11.  
  12. Succeeded in living a minimalistic life. Luxuries no longer matter. Looks no longer matter.
  13. Tried hands-on Video Editing, blogging, making round chapatis, singing, dancing to fine-tunes, reading and actually came across new words like - quarantine, lockdown, incubation period, plasma therapy, Hydroxychloroquine, coronavirus, deadly virus, janata curfew to name a few 
  14. The most powerful country in the world could not maintain the spread of this unexpected pandemic.
  15. doctors and all the paramedical staff including the police forces and soldiers are our real heroes 
  16. Maintaining sanity in this situation is the most important aspect
  17. Nature is at its best when there is no human interference 
  18. Last but not least realized the importance of bai (maid). The true queen who rules EVERY household 
  19. Hope for the Best prepare for the worst

A Family Pilgrimage to Vani Chi Devi: A Journey of Faith and Family Last weekend, we embarked on a pilgrimage to Vani Chi Devi, our maternal family's kuldevi, located near Nashik. As this is a significant spiritual site for our family, all of us, including my parents, husband, sister, mother-in-law, and our two daughters, decided to make the journey together. The drive from our home in Kalyan took us approximately 5-5.5 hours. We started our journey early in the morning, setting off in two cars. To keep our energy levels up, we stopped at Dogri Mall for a quick and delicious breakfast. The menu offered a delightful array of options, and we indulged in idlis, aloo parathas, medu vadas, dosas, misal, and batata vadas. After a refreshing restroom break, we continued our journey towards Vani. Finally, we reached Vani around 11:30 AM. Knowing that the temple would be quite crowded, especially on a Saturday, my father, who has some local connections, managed to secure VIP tickets for us....
