Nowadays most of us are locked in our houses amid lockdown due to the pandemic. Such is the situation, there is always a fear in the mind that what will happen next. Such an experience has come for the first time in our life. Earlier according to my father, during the Indo-Pak war, he had experienced a similar atmosphere. There was silence all around. But at that time since there was no radio in everyone's house, there used to be a huge crowd near the loudspeakers in the streets and there was a feeling of helping each other and brotherhood among people.

Lockdown is also a time of emergency, a war, we have to win this war in any case, we have to stay in homes for a few days. If you see, Lock down has made us all alone but with our loved ones. There is a feeling in our hearts about the concern and help to others.
A sense of mutual unity is being seen in every where .. From cinema theatres, parties to hotels every thing is away and we are with the family. The lockdown has drawn a virtual boundary line in our midst but has united our hearts. Bringing the family members closer. Everyone is worried about a each other. This is the first time we have got to work with our hands. One thing is being realized from this, that we have all feelings from home lord to the lady of the home. Members of the whole family have shared the responsibility of work among themselves. The responsibility of work has increased in the houses, but we have also got time to think for ourselves.

By the way, this time of lockdown is proving very useful and effective. The whole family has a chance to sit together. On the one hand, in the free time, we are getting new food recipes made by our hands. Exercise is also being done from sweeping the houses to taking vare of children. We have got a chance to revive our old hobbies, painting, music, stitching, cooking, the part we had forgotten in the race of the life. The era of old indoor games like snake ladder and telling stories have returned. People have started remembering the past years.
The time of lock down can be said to be very useful for the people associated with literature. I have got an opportunity to write in my spare time, such opportunities are rarely available. Ideas of new stories are coming to the fore. In such an occasion of family junk and domestic violence, incidents are happening, let alone writing on the problems faced by the elderly without the servants. I am in final section reading the book on Yoga by Gina Tomaine. I am also preparing a glimpse for a video. I have got the opportunity to read my favorite author Orson Scott Card and Stephen King.

In my thoughts, it would be better to extend the time of lockdown now because our health and safety is first. We can be more safe by staying in the houses by making social distance. We can also do some small works at home, which can also make us go ahead financially. A few days away from the glow of the outer world, less resources in the lap of nature and We can be better healthy by living at a lower cost. One benefit of the lockdown is that we can see Sun rising and setting from our roof after years.
We are breathing clean and open air, we need not consider lockdown as a bond in such a situation. We have to enjoy ourselves a lot by incorporating happiness, joy and contentment into our lives.
