A satirical view of our Locked down situation:

Apart from my grandmother's to my nephew's bowl patterns being forcefully branded in my brain, this home-quarantined time has actually taught us some incredible things if we really pay attention.

If that first line grossed you out, I request you to not go any further because what comes next is in no way going to add any value to your already free and enormous 24 hours. I am a married woman and a recent one at that. I came down at my parents for a visit and since have been locked down while my husband stays with his parents in another city. Call me shallow, but in a lot of ways, this lock down could not have happened at a better time. While, my better-half is now busy with the most mundane ( I call them necessary) household chores, I have the liberty to think about the miracles of life and nature. About how mother earth takes revenge and intellectual topics like these for hours at a stretch.

What’s mesmerizing even more is that I, like a lot of you, am sure have found out that probably for all my life, I have been living in denial! Denial about the fact that I will be productive if only I had the time. There literally could not have been more time available and there could not possibly have been more stupid ways to waste it. Don’t get me wrong, I am feeling a big pang of guilt while writing and admitting this right now but since, I am a positive person, what I am going to take out of this revelation is that I am no longer in denial now. That’s a great achievement right?

Anyways, prompted by a lot of new found chefs on Instagram, I did try my very lazy hand on cooking and the result was good too. I got appreciated by my family members a lot but the honesty of those appreciations cannot fully be trusted. Were they happy that the dish was good or that they got to eat something tangibly different in the sans restaurant world or if they were just happy that I can get off the bed...I'd never know and I promised not to ask them or to think about it.

But, let's talk about the guilt and regret s'more shall we? I have always been a procrastinator. If I had baby due in two hours and an option to watch a movie in one, I would choose the latter and stay the hell away from facing reality and be disciplined unless I absolutely have to. And honestly, I had a pretty happy life with this funda. It's now that I have to make something from the very scratch that I require discipline and action. And don't believe what anyone says, it's not a good state to be at least from day one from where I am standing. It looks hell difficult to produce something of so great value

like above everyday!

But, I have decided to try. And the result is this beautiful article. On a slightly serious note, one sure thing that I did figure out was that I procrastinate due to the fear of not being good enough. Because come on, who wants to be mediocre when they start out. We want to be Rowlings from day zero. This, I have decided to let go of and create something of value instead of watching some of the most well-written shows and reading an inane amount of heavenly books.

Also, I searched how to make more people read your blogs and a very interesting result said, "Write about the generic stuff. The stuff that everyone can relate to and the heading matters the most. So like, even if you have to write something personal, the heading should not denote that because why would someone want to read about you?" I hope the advice works!
