My lockdown story Hello readers, I think we have moved way past the point where I can ask for apologies for not being regular with my blogs. But all have plans and so I had some too. I actually wanted to pen down a new blog only after a new beginning but I just could not miss today's date without sharing the overload of emotions I am feeling today. March 14, 2020 So before you wonder what is so special today. Actually, this day, March 14, last year, I left behind the city of dreams - Mumbai with a never ending hope to get back to it for my graduation. But alas! We all know life had something else in store for us. Not that I am filled with anger and regret for it but attachments, that's the thing with me. Something that tear me down when given a lot of thought into it. For more than 2 years, I had been living in Mumbai. I created so many bonds with people, with places, oh!

Dear self, To begin with, I would say that I am proud of you. I know situations and circumstances have been very unfavorable lately. You just feel like giving up on everyone and everything, but keep going, do not stop, keep your hopes ablaze. In such hard times, your faith in your near and dear ones also begins to dwindle. You find them insensitive and feel that they fail to understand the gravity of the situation you are in. But I advise you not to doubt them, take in their care and words of concern. It will make you feel better. However on some days, even those consolations and words won’t be able to cheer you up and you will keep sinking in your desolation. But remember this is not the first time when you are feeling so distressed, you came out of it then and you can also come out of it now. Don’t indulge yourself in temporary pleasures. Nourish your spirit. Find a brighter way to overcome your failures or cause of agony. Yes, this again makes you feel like reading a phil...
