Hi,

How are you all doing your vacation?

Let me tell u about how's the days going for me.

First, it would be a lie if I say” it’s so interesting” but not bad either. After a long stay away from hometown we are finally back and took it some time to adjust to the climatic changes.

    Although this isn’t a usual vacation, I almost spent it with what I missed doing during my academic life. I got a chance to reopen my old cupboard where my story books were kept ,and started reading them one by one.

    Meanwhile I spent a lot of time in front of the television watching often updates about the Corona Virus Disease or COVID -19 and also tried my best to adhere to the protective behaviors. So literally I didn’t step out of my home[including garden] since I stepped in about one month ago and most importantly I was the front raw person who disinfect the people returning home after shopping.

     I also engaged in some outdoor activities like gardening which I find more interesting than indoors as it was more than a physical activity for me. There I eventually found my Mango tree in our front garden finally had able to make a single fruit after about 15 years which made me really happy for her but didn’t plucked it though for whatever reason I’m concerned.

      One more thing I want to tell u  regard less  of all the above is what I learnt from this massive pandemic, which I think will be the same to you all as well that the nature as a person is so fair and invincibly observant in serving her fellow beings , and her guidance is  never a faith in bringing back the biological balance on Earth.

        So, it’s better for us to face this challenge with self-discipline and compassion for others within us.

      I’m so grateful for all the people those who are at the front-line in this battle against COVID 19, serving us selflessly and I wish them, and all other human beings to stay healthy and happy at home.
