Hello everyone. I hope you all are in the best of your mental and physical health during this corona pandemic. I can feel the pain and suffering you all might be going through during this tough time of our life. But I think this the real test of our obedience, patience ,commitment and love towards our family ,society and nation. I strongly believe we all will be victorious in defeating this virus and will emerge as better human beings than ever. With this positive note I want to thank all of you for playing a valuable role in the lives of people who are going through the toughest time of their lives by providing ration , food packets , masks , sanitizers etc. Also I express my gratitude to all the Corona Warriors such as Police ,Traffic police, Doctors ,Nurses, Paramedic Staff and others for their exceptional commitment and dedication to save each and every citizen of our nation.

Now i would like to present 10 interesting ways to kill the boredom of lockdown…

1. Learn a Foreign Language …I would request you to remember your days of youth when you had a burning desire to learn a new language but couldn’t do so. There could be many reasons ..finance , lack of time , over burdened with academic curriculum etc. But now it is like a perfect time to fulfill your desire of learning a new language of your liking such as Russian, Spanish, German ,French etc. So without wasting a minute , get yourself registered online and start learning a language you love to learn. You can try the apps like Duolingo and Busuu to learn a foreign language of your choice.
2. Make Future Plans …Wanted to visit your Aunt’s home abroad or wished to travel Europe! You can very well use this lockdown period to plan your vacations for your favourite destinations. Search your options on Google and make a customised itenary of your choice of the places to visit and the food to enjoy. One can check the climate and weather of the preferred destination and can plan for the necessary things to be carried along.
3. Journal...This is one of the best activities to kill the boredom of lockdown . Since we are not allowed to step outside until and unless there is an emergency, we can very well utilise this time by writing our everyday activities done during this lockdown. We can pen down our feelings and the emotions we are going through. We can write down the most cherished moments of our life.We can mention the lessons life has taught us during this tough time.
4. Practice Yoga…We can do some yoga exercises every morning to achieve inner peace strength. We can easily overcome ours suspicions , doubts and uncertainties of life. Yoga helps in killing the anxiety and depression and plays a major role in making a fine balance between mind , body and soul. We can do few Surya namaskars daily for the flexibility and strength of our body. One can do Pranayam, kapalbhati, anulom-vilom to optimize the working of our lungs ,stomach and other vital organs.
5. Start A Blog...Best time to get the creative juices flowing.One can always write a blog and this is a golden oppurtunity to give wings to our thoughts and imagination by writing a blog on the current situation .Else we can choose our area of interests and the topics of our choice and can fulfill our desires of writing a blog and presenting it to the world.
6. Get Fit and Healthy…I am pretty sure most of us are missing their Gym routine and physical exercise workouts because of lockdown. We can do some gym exercises at home with the help of a chair and dumbbells. Otherwise we can do physical exercises without weights to keep ourselves fit and healthy. We can do squats, lunges, planks ,chair dips ,burpees, abdominal crunches to name a few which will keep us in perfect shape and strengthen our body.
7. Getting close to Nature…. I know we all are feeling bored and tired in this lockdown period.We can kill our boredom by spending some time in nature. We can soak the sun everyday for 10-15 min sitting in silence and solitude. This will refresh us and fulfill the daily dose of Vitamin D and help in keeping our bones healthy and strong. We can spend some time in our garden doing some gardening stuff daily. We can very well prune the plants. Manuring and watering the plants will definitely make us feel happy and lift our spirits.
8. Be Creative …One can do painting , skeching and other skillful activities of one’s interest and can explore the hidden talent to the maximum because there is no boundation of time in the lockdown period. This is going to help us to vent out our frustation and anger which got manifested as a result of feeling helpless during lockdown.
9. Play Indoor Games…This is one of the most interesting and coolest way of killing the boredom. Best part is that each and every person of the family can enjoy and take part in most of the indoor games such as playing Chess, Carrom, Snakes and ladders ,Ludo ,Table Tannis to name a few. This is more enjoyable when two or more teams are made and competition is there to be the best performer. We can add snacks as a reward for the winner to be made by the opponent to add fun to the game. I am sure these moments of togetherness will be cherished by each and every member of the family for the rest of their lives.
10. Household Chores…This activity may sound very boring to many of the readers but I am sure once you start delivering ..I mean taking part in household chores be it cleaning utensils, making chapatis, trying to make new dishes, moping the floor, arranging wardrobe etc. ,you will start enjoying these small chores . At the end of the day, it will give us a feeling of value and contribution towards our family.
