Here are the top 5 things this lockdown has taught me.
1. Family is everything:
In my last few years, I had never stayed with my family for this long. It was due to my studies, my work I had to stay away from my parents. My parents stay in Kolar and I stay in Bangalore even though it's just a matter of 1.5 hours to commute between two places. Staying with the family has brought me a lot of happiness. Sometimes presence makes a huge difference. My parents have been very happy since all of us are under one roof.
2. Beware what you wish for:
I have seen a couple of people complaining about the boredom during this lockdown time. Those were the same people who used to love work from homes hated coming to offices. Now that God has given the opportunity to work from homes for as long as 2 to 3 months(hopefully) people should be grateful. But they are not. So I really feel people should be careful in wishing what they want. Do they really have it in them to have what they wish for?
3. You can live with basic needs.
Needs and wants are two different aspects of life we have been entangled with. A lot of times wants have become needs. Like I want to watch a movie in the theater had become a need for me to unwind myself. But now that all such luxurious things are not there is the lockdown, I am pretty much satisfied with movies that Netflix/prime offers me. Many other wants like eating out in a fancy restaurant, road trips, cafes, etc are good to have but not necessary is what lockdown taught me.
4. You can learn pretty much anything on your own.
I have come to an understanding that as long as are having a good internet connection, there is nothing that you can't learn. Learning is super fun for me. In fact, I really look forward to learning new things. That is my high. Vedic mantras, Exercises, Coding, Technologies, Gardening, Cooking, Hacking and you name it you have everything at your fingertips. So I strongly recommend making use of this time to learn and upskill yourselves.
5. You can't really control what happens to you.
I hate to say that I am a control freak. I always feel things and people around me should be in my control. That is one quality in me I am really fighting hard to get rid of. Probably this lockdown is teaching me that that lesson in a hard way. There are things happening in the world and society around me which I have no control over. I can't choose to go to the office because I want to. These sorts of lessons have surely calmed me down instead of driving me crazy.
Please share things that lockdown has taught you.
