21 Days Lockdown - Day 6

Hello everyone!
I hope you all are fit and fine. First of all, I would like to apologize for being late to deliver my sixth day of the lockdown. The reason why I got late is that I was busy doing some bureaucratic work. So let's just start with the day. My day began with a very depressive sad feeling of what was happening in this world. I know I've been a little repetitive about saying that I am sad sometimes, thinking about the current pandemic, but that is the truth of my life. I do not like the idea that I have to sit at home while some virus is wiping out humanity. Although I am at the beginning of my career and there are a lot of things which I have to experience and learn still, I feel as if I should be in middle of it and fighting. I am very sure that many of you too get the same feeling. 


Most of my evening was spent in trying to lift up my mood. I tried to watch Netflix, went outside my room and met a few friends in the hostel, tried to study in our cafeteria (which is nothing but an empty lot with chairs lying around). None of the above actions lifted my mood. This takes us to the highlight of the day when I had conversation with one of my family members. A call which actually lifted my mood. 
I would like to discuss a little bit about it. What we talked about was not something specific but random thoughts, for example, we talked about how to lose weight that is despite the fact both of us have been successful in doing that, still revising and perfecting the art of losing weight is good. Right?. We discussed our journey from being unhealthy to fit. Then we randomly jumped towards the the currently persisting scenario. What I had to offer in that conversation was two of my observations about this pandemic. First, that it is not just our country which is ill-equipped to fight with this disease but our countrymen are also ill-equipped to handle this pandemic stress mentally, a fact which has been proved by few of the the things which I discussed in my previous blogs and also the explosion of memes, most of which are useless and repetitive.


The second observation which I gave was how could people be so oblivious to obvious things i.e. handwashing and keeping themselves hygienic. I say this because there have been so many doubts among callers (who called me) about handwashing and general hygiene in the past few days. To which she replied with her observation that this shutdown which has happened, should happen at least once in a month every year evenly distributed throughout so that we can have a good quality of air to breathe and good quality of water to drink. Basically, what we discussed was although there have been devastating effects of this virus still we have learnt that if we do not go polluting the air, water and soil we can actually live our regular lives without allergies and coughing due to vehicular motor gases. Then the conversation topic changed, we discussed our studies, our future plans and ended with a very cliche thing which we Punjabi always land to i.e. what to eat or not for dinner. Immediately after that conversation I felt a little good and came back to my room to start my studies again. I had a good meal because luckily today my favourite dish 'Grilled Chicken' was available in Swiggy delivery options. As I told you before, today was one of the days when I took rest from exercise and will be starting with my cardio tomorrow. So, this was my sixth day in lockdown in a very short and brief way. 
I hope you enjoyed reading it and had a good day yourself. Please share your experiences and comments below.

Attention ! Attention !!

First though t -  Maybe some announcement. Wrong Second though t - OK. The author wants attention.  True In this particular piece, I would like to address an issue of - Lack of Attention amongst us. The motivation behind this particular piece is my real life friend. Lack of attention when someone talks, discusses, reads or writes something without graphical depiction of the subject is a real issue nowadays. The attention span of most of the modern humans has become smaller than the time taken by a hand grenade to explode after taking out the pin, which ranges from 4 to 8 seconds. This might seem like an exaggeration but is actually very true. The first proof in my argument is that few of the readers are already bored by now, reading about a Real Problem . So to just keep them engrossed here it is -                                             ...

Attention ! Attention !! 2.0

DISCLAIMER  I am not against any kind of invention, discovery or advancement of technology. This blog is not written because I feel superior to any other human just because of my profession.  This is not written to badmouth or discourage you from using some specific sites.  These are just my views about a particular subject. Nothing more. All the pictures used by me are downloaded from google and I do not own them.  I think I should start from where I wasn't clear in my last write-up , as, pointed out by few of my friends. So the problem about which I was talking was - the advent of technology in everyone's life. Before I express my views I would like you to go down the memory lane and remember about your school life. Do you remember how we used to have school debates and extempore. Now let the juices of your brain flow and try to extract out this particular information that in one of those you might have debated about the advent of technology ...

8 Years and a Shirt !!

Hello to everyone! The inspiration to write this particular piece came from a recent achievement which highlighted the importance of hard-work in our day to day life. When I was in my undergraduate days I was quite fond of buying new clothes (as many of us are). I would change my wardrobe as much as my pocket money and randomly springing family parties allowed me to. So, there was this one particular day when I was standing outside Tommy Hilfiger showroom, dreaming of buying some clothes from there. Dreaming because I used to (still at some level) think that they were way overpriced than their material and durability's worth. Suddenly my eyes fell on this crisp blue shirt with long alternating stripes of blue-grey-white-some other things. I instantly knew that I was going to own this piece of clothing no matter what. To my dismay, I found out that it was available in medium size, which was normal for my age, height and sex. But being a medical student who thinks that there is n...
