The Quarantine Species

Types of people during quarantine

I am sure all of you are quarantined in your respective houses to control the spread of Covid-19. I think this is a great step and it should be followed by every citizen. 

There are different types of people during quarantine. 

• Bored😩

• Criticizing😏

• Enjoying🥳

Bored

Even I am included in this group🙈These are the type of people who feel like prisoners during quarantine. These people think quarantine is a really good step but at the same time they are waiting for this phase to end. They can be seen sitting at their balcony staring at random birds, thinking how lucky and free these birds are. I agree to that thought because these birds or animals have no one to quarantine them, no viruses to harm them and have no curfews implied to their flight. At a point, these people are so fed up with quarantine that they start doing things they have never done before! These people try to utilise this time and start cleaning their houses which lasts only for a few hours. They soon figure out that there is NO solution to boredom!!! At the end, what all these people do  is to pray for this phase to end as soon as possible🤐

Criticizing

This group is very interesting. It seems like their only motive in life is to criticize everything they come across!!!🙄 In quarantine, their main target becomes the GOVERNMENT. They HAVE to critcize every decision made by the government otherwise they feel like something is missing in their routine. Once they are done criticizing the government, they start criticizing the people who are aimlessly wandering on roads during curfew, by calling them disrespectful or irresponsible citizens. When they are done with all this, their next target becomes their children. They criticize them for being free and not studying. I mean why would children choose to study when their schools are closed. However, these type of people are better than the people who are bored because they have atleast something to entertain themselves😜

Enjoying

Everyone enjoys holidays but these people enjoy being quarantined!!😱 Some people enjoy quarantine because they have worked or studied very hard and are in serious need of rest, while on the other hand, some people enjoy because they are jobless and lazy so quarantine is nothing new for them. However, we will only talk about the first group. These people are glad that they have nothing to do. They know that their universities or offices will reopen soon, so they try to make most of their little quarantine vacay. It’s only because of these people that the servers of Netflix are down, due to them binge watching shows and transforming their room into a movie theatre. They pray for curfew to extend which would be a nightmare for bored people but good for them😉

Besides all of this, I really hope that this phase ends soon and our daily lives move back on track.

Prayers for all countries affected by Covid-19🙏🏻

Coronavirus(Covid-19)- Impact on our lives

I am sure all of us are aware that the authorities are working hard to control the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in their respected territories. Government is also advising citizens to self-isolate themselves at their place.

Self-Isolation is a great prevention method but beyond a point it becomes really tedious.

I was really excited for the start of my new session but the next thing I got to know is that the schools have been closed till March 31 in order to avoid being in mass gathering. Honestly, I was disappointed but then I thought how bad can it be? I mean it’s only 17-18 days. It’s the first day and 17 more days are starting to feel like 17 more years.

Many people must have thought that they will enjoy these holidays but how can someone enjoy when they can’t go to malls, cinemas or simply out of their house.

This is great for OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, they must be getting alot of traffic because what else can people do sitting at home?

You have self-isolated yourself to prevent Coronavirus but real Coronavirus is spreading through your phone. If I open Whatsapp, there is a message about Coronavirus and if I open Instagram, there is a post about Coronavirus. The conclusion is that we are all getting affected by Coronavirus in one way or another🙈

We have used less sanitizer in our lives than the amount of sanitizer we have used in the past few days. A few months back, when someones sneezed we used to say “God bless you”, now we say “Get away from me!!”🤧

Firstly, people are self - isolated and extremely bored and you know what’s making this even worse? MEDIA!!! Isn’t boredom enough that media has to scare us as well now!!Yes,Coronavirus is a highly communicable flu which needs to be treated properly but media is creating a big chaos out of it which is causing panic amongst people. We need to understand that everything media says is NOT true.

I hope all the schools and workplaces go back to normal routine as soon as possible !☺️

Cell(Phone) - The New Unit of Life

What is the unit of life?

Yes, the answer used to be “cell” but now humans have added the word “phone” which makes the answer “cell phone.”         

It all started in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell invented the world’s first telephone, little did he know that he had made distant communication easier and communicating face to face difficult. Before cell phones, people wished each other on occasions with a genuine smile. Now also they wish, but the only difference is that the “genuine smile” has been transferred to an emoji on Whatsapp!! People have sure made Insta friends but have forgotten the real ones. Before cell phones, a person had well wishers. These people made him/her happy by complimenting and saying delightful things, now also this happens but the word well wishers has been changed with the word “followers” and the way of complimenting is by tapping a heart button on Insta.

People of those times were much braver than us.  If someone didn’t like a person, he/she went right to that person and said everything. They both were called each others enemies. This has also not changed, but the way of saying those things is done by typing text known as “hate comments” and the word “enemy” has been replaced with the words “trolls and haters.” Earlier, people stored good memories in their mind but now we need pen drives and galleries to store them. We were called mannerless if we didn’t go to someone’s house on festivals……….Nowadays, we are called mannerless if we don’t send a colourful GIF with “Happy Festive Season” written on it.

Isn’t it funny how phones have connected us to the world but have disconnected us from our own family? People competed about the number of friends they had, nowadays we compete on how many followers we have. Earlier, when people used to see a child with spectacles the first thought which would come to their mind would be “Oh God, the child must be studying alot” Nowadays, the first thought which comes is “Oh God, the child must be using phone for a long time!” See the differences?

There was a restaurant in Australia which offered discounts on food if the customers did not use phone in the restaurant……………Eventually, that restaurant had to shut down because NO ONE came to dine there!!!!    

       

Sometimes I really think  “Are we using phones or are phones using us?”

In either case, we should learn to manage our relations and the usage of phones. I have tried to convey this message by writing this blog. Hope you liked it. Thanks for reading ;)                                                                                            

New Session in School - Elation or Dismay?

Feelings of Students before the start of a New Session

I  came up with this topic because I am currently going through this ;)

Before the start of a New Session, there are multifarious feelings going on in a Student’s brain. The main ones are :

. Elation

. Apprehension

. Dismay


Elation

Many of the students are elated. The reason of this overjoyment might be that they are with their friends or either they got the best teacher. Now, if you ever come up to a stage where you need to identify if the student is elated or not, then I might be able to help you! So, you ask the student if he/she has packed her school supplies and bag, if the answer is yes it means that the student is overjoyed ;)These are also the students who mug up allllll the books before the start of the session and are likely to score above 90 in their exams:)

Apprehension

This sort of feeling is not only found in nervous students but also in students who are excited. This is mostly caused by all the wills and woulds some of them such as: Will i get good grades? Will the teachers like me? Would the books be easy for me? Would I be able to study that hard and so on…..These are also the students who pack their supplies prior to the date but still have last minute things left. Now in nervousness either their grades shoot up or they go down, it depends on determination as well ;)

Dismay

Now! Now! These students are an interesting group! These are the students who have least interest in anything because their friends are not with them in their section or they got the most strict teacher. These students have no interest in packing their bag or going through books. They go unprepared to school on the first day with no supplies and of course with no interest!!!They are likely to be seen sitting at the corner of the class staring at a friend group with jealousy in their eyes :(

So this sums it up !!

Hope you liked reading this blog. Comment if you are going through these feelings! Thanks for reading ;)
