The period of lockdown is challenge for the common man. Since most households are running without the assistance of any domestic help or support staff, there is an increased consumption of electricity and water due to greater reliance on gadgets. The internet is being used throughout the day and sometimes unnecessarily. As an individual who has learnt many a lesson because of this long period of remaining indoors, write a letter within 150 words to the Editor of a local daily sharing your views about how equitable distribution of work and resources within the household can not only be beneficial to one’s family but also improve interpersonal relationships and increase tolerance.

Subject: Equitable distribution of work and resources within the household during the lockdown
Sir:
The entire world is going through challenging times on account of COVID 19 pandemic. India is also undergoing a month long lockdown till May 3, 2020. Everyone is at home; in such a situation housemaids and servants have also been at their respective homes. As a result the burden of household duties has fallen on mothers, grandmothers, and sisters.
During such challenging times, the male members of the family should also lend a helping hand in doing household chores. I appeal to all the males to come forward and share this increased burden.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Jayita Sen
