Be a Desi Chef!
We often complain that we do not get time to cook and test our cooking skills! But this quarantine has given us ample time to step into the kitchen and work with the scoop. Watch YouTube videos, check out recipes and try something new. Let you family have the opportunity to relax and savour the new dishes.
Find Time to treat yourself
Over these three weeks, do some self-care. Give yourself a head massage, soak your feet in the lukewarm water, and treat your skin with gentle lotions.
Don’t quarantine your creativity!
Unleash your creative mind during this leisure time. Paint, Write a Blog, Join online Calligraphy Classes, Learn to play guitar online and yes, you can start making a video podcast! There is so much to do; just find what matches your interest and let the creativity flow.

Escape with a good film
We have been always mentioning to watch that series or movie when we will get time, so let’s recall all the names and binge watch them all during these lockdown days. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Zee5, and others are the easiest options with some of the great options available in varied genres.

Get Organised and Give your home a makeover
This can be really a good time to check on the arrangements of your house. Check if you can do something with the décor while staying at home that will give a fresh look to your home. Move tables and sofas, change the place, try new combinations. This would not just reboot the home feel but will also burn a few calories.
Let us make sure that during this lockdown, things keep going and bring a positive transformation when this is over.
