Answer:
The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China has spread to well over six continents. Hundreds of thousands of people have been infected and thousands of people have died. The spread of coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
COVID-19 had reached India, and it being the second most populated country in the world, took drastic measures to prevent its spread – India was to be set under a 21-day complete lockdown. This might seem unnecessary because a 3-week lockdown would be so inconvenient, but looking at the situation in other countries like Italy and Spain, I personally feel we did a fantastic job announcing this lockdown. While this would mean most of the scheduled exams would have to be postponed, it was still better than risking our lives to complete an exam.
This 21-day lockdown period is also proven to be very productive, depending on how you use it! I’d like to share how I’ve been spending my time during this lockdown period.
– Since the announcement of this lockdown, most of the engineering entrance exams have been postponed, which is actually a blessing in disguise because I get more time to prepare for these exams!
– I get to spend some quality time with my family because both my brother and father are working from home now. We’ve actually bonded quite a lot during this period that we spent together, as one family.
– All this extra time at hand got me pumped to learn a new skill. I quite honestly love coding and computers in general so I’ve been taking courses on topics like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and they’re super interesting! They’ll also come in handy when I’m building my portfolio.
– I have also been using this extra time to catch up with the TV shows and read books that I’ve forever been wanting to! Shows like The Big Bang Theory and Breaking Bad are awesome!
So, contrary to the popular opinion that this lockdown period is just unproductive and boring, I think it really depends on how you spend your time. Being active on social media can help spend time but it’s obviously going to get boring after a while. I would highly recommend that you pick up a new skill or do something you’re really interested in!

How I spent my days during Covid-19 lockdown

An Idle Mind is the devil’s workshop – Remember the popular proverb we learnt when we were in school. My father had a strange habit of quoting proverbs to me when I was in school. Little did I understand why he kept saying proverbs to me … I misinterpreted it thinking maybe he just likes saying proverbs! But at this juncture, I realize … the things he used to tell me often crosses my mind … it had so much inner meaning!
In the current scenario when there is a complete lockdown, most of the things aren’t working normally. It’s very important that we don’t keep an idle mind … we may say that there isn’t much to do … It’s actually been quite the opposite for me since these unexpected off days have started … I have been reading a lot of positive things rather than indulging myself in the situation by repeatedly viewing news, videos and posts on social media. Although, it’s important to be aware of what’s happening in the world but not to a point of overindulgence leading us to read false news, negative remarks and criticisms!
Usually when we are in the grip of negativity a lot of us forget to be compassionate, which is an absolute essential character we should have … and can’t be missed especially during such times. I have been practising, truthfulness, compassion and forbearance …the basic principles of Falun Dafa, an ancient Cultivation practice for the mind and body. This break has really helped me do the five sets of exercises and meditation regularly … I have managed to increase the duration of the practice and it has really helped my mind to be in a state of calm and peace. Also, this practice helps boost immunity, so naturally, I feel quite energetic and active even if I am always at home. Along with it reading the profound teachings of Mr Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafain the book Zhuan Falun has essentially been a strong guiding factor for me at all times. Since I was visiting my Mother when the lockdown happened, I have been able to teach her the exercises, which has also been beneficial for her.
Mr India finalist Adhiraj Chakrabarti is an eminent model and emerging fashion photographer from Mumbai. He practices Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong), an ancient cultivation system of mind and body.
Being a creative person and a self-taught photographer, I need to constantly evolve myself. Therefore, regularly setting aside time to expand my knowledge online, also constantly trying to further improve my editing and retouching skills. The other day I also found my bamboo flute at home … so I have been trying to play some tunes that I have learned. Music is something which has deep connects with our inner side and listening to tranquil and peaceful music is always a part of my daily life.
This is certainly a time when we need to reconnect with our inner self… I had given up on writing poetry a couple of years back and being in the confines of the four walls yet staying positive has been a help in reviving my creative side. Have managed to write a few poems and who knows by the end of all this maybe I will have enough of them to publish!
Lastly, how I view this entire scenario is that there are some greater causes behind everything that happens around us, we should definitely try to reflect on our own thoughts and actions. This moment has been given to us and we have the choice to either let evil breed in our idle minds or…
“We walk with glory heads held high, the distant miles of constant mirages, the piercing thorns from the cactus dry, the scorching heat of the dreary desert sun…Yet, the shade awaits not so far, of soothing palms and blissful waters…let’s all return to the eternal oasis”
