SOCIAL DISTANCING-THE NEW NORMAL

  

The corona virus has all of us locked in our homes. But it doesn't mean we lay in bed and sleep all day. I used to be very busy with sports and tuitions before all this started, but since i wasnt doing any activity all day and even tuition,schools everything was happening on zoom i couldnt get tired and thats the only reason which made my routine unhealthy. My almost everyday was like this for 1 month but after that I learned nee and different things which i wouldnt be doing if there wasnt any lockdown. A few months ago, The thought of staying home for so many days without meeting our friends and cousins would make us shiver. But now it doesn’t sound so bad after all. I learned how to cook and bake and many new recipes to some exotic cuisines, i did painting, sketching and it was the only thing which i was so bad at. I learned how to live with having a very limited amount of supplies. The lockdown has also taught me that no matter what, you find a way to make your boring days a lot more fun with your family even though you might find them not understanding enough to listen to you.

 

 Social distancing is very important in a pandemic like this. It is the only thing that could keep ourselves safe. It seems very difficult to stay away from your friends and neighbours and it is, but it starts to get normal everyday. Day by day it starts to feel normal to us even though some people weren’t listening to our prime minister’s orders. It has also changed many things around us. To keep up social distancing, people prefer staying indoors which has improved the environment in a lot of ways. The pollution has come down to a great extent and the ozone layer has started to improve. Social distancing has helped families get closer and found was for friends to connect. For some people it might be a disaster because staying in lockdown for so many months could also damage your mental health. The old games like ludo and monopoly have come back to life once again. To think about it, social distancing has had a great impact in our lives and tis time is something we will remember all our lives.
