I remember arguing
with my friend about Corona virus. We had a discussion on "Will Corona
Virus enter INDIA?" I replied 'No!! It won't affect India' I believed in a myth
"In 36 /37℃ temperature virus would not sustain!
13th March 2020
the whole world paused surprisingly.
City which is popularly
known as city of speed, city of dreams, unstoppable! Yes, you guessed correct
“Mumbai” also stopped.
Schools, colleges,
institutions, shops, courts, everything got shut down. People caged into their
houses!
Lockdown
1.0 made everyone explore their own house and
made them understand their own people closely.
I saw there were
two contrast sides to this situation. First, were people got 3 meals a day! And
second, were people struggled to get even 1 meal. Situation worsened for the
daily laborer’s who used to work to earn money for a day.
Hospitals, police
stations, pharmacies, workers, and so on were serving the whole world during
these crucial days. Let’s not forget the one person from every family who
always used to risk his/her life and used to bring essentials like groceries,
medicines...
Lockdown
2.0 made people realize the importance of
things that we took granted till date!
After which we all
stood with our family and got to know each other's temperaments, love, care and
support also the way we started adjusting our lifestyle, compromising on
things, and showing patience!
During lock down Honorable
P.M Narendra Modi announced several tasks to bring unity and made us believe
that we are not alone. Entire world rejoiced in making the sound of vessels, lightning
lamps, candles…. Made us realize the
unity of the country! Online classes for students, work from home for all job
holders! All started looking forward for their own interest and engaging
themselves in productive activities. Some were cooking, painting, vlogging,
running online tutorials, online fitness training, participating in different contests,
following trends!! #DalgonaCoffee,
#MakeupChallenge #UntilTomorrow, #see10send10, #FirstPicChallenge, and so on. By
this time the decision of exam
cancellation was taken. All students were promoted to next year except the
final year students!
Lockdown 3.0
begins with a limited number of activities allowed to start their functioning.
These include travel by air, rail, metro and interstate movement by road.
Special train vehicles were arranged for people to move interstate. Newspapers
were at the doorstep! Home delivery was back to routine! Lockdown 3.0 gave
relaxation and happiness to all the migrants. But there were many people with
void hopes and empty pockets and to help those people Film Actor MR. SONU SOOD served helpless migrants
which were stuck in Mumbai by arranging private buses with the help of
Maharashtra Government also, he donated over 1,500 PPE kits to doctors in Punjab.
He has also been feeding thousands of underprivileged people along with
providing meal kits to migrants. He had also provided his hotels in Mumbai as
accommodation for front-line healthcare workers. There was a boom in social
media with praising notes, some of them made good memes on him. He walked in
this situation as a God for many people!
It was considered
as ‘Relaxation’ because sell of liquor was allowed with certain conditions in
all zones. People started gathering at liquor shops across the country in large
numbers! Long queues were seen outside the shops! While all these things, final
year students were still hoping to get their exams canceled!
Lockdown
4.0 permitting almost all economic activities
and significant public movement in all non-containment zones, Buses and private
vehicles can be moved with special conditions. Specific activities such as air
travel were prohibited, metro rail services were limited.
The limited long-distance
trains for migrants and essentials workers will continue! All social places
were still barred. Places of worship still remained closed. By this time people
were getting house warm. But Final year students were still waiting for their
guidelines, decisions!!
Unlock
1.0~ Mission Begin Again! Where
markets/shops were opened, except malls to function from June 8 on odd-even
basis.
Honorable P.M
Narendra Modi announced “ATMA NIRBHAR '' in his speech he urged people
to participate individually to stabilize Indian Economy. His speech left us to
think about different ideas to make our own business!
Now we all are used to this lifestyle. People
are now more aware that they are fearless! We can see people roaming with
designer masks! Meeting people casual ling. Wedding functions and several other
functions are celebrated with a limited number of people. All are used to
online classes, meetings, and work!
We are still
fighting the battle and waiting to WIN this battle against Corona!
But one thing is still
not clear! “What about final year
students?”
