5 DifferentThings to do in Quarantine 2020- Free Time


Things to do in Quarantine 2020| Free Time 

Quarantine..Vacations…Post retirement days… seem quiet different terms but all these have one thing in common. – Free time. Duration may vary based on your plans of course. 

As the saying goes by, wasted time never returns. So, it is good to use your spare time in the best possible way.

Here are some ideas which that might help you invest your free time. Knock!! Knock!! Disclaimer here: Although the title says, things to do in quarantine - you may use these tips any day during your free time

1.        LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE

I know, you may now say there is no point in learning a new language now. The evil pandemic has ruined all the travel plans. 

But, I strongly believe in one thing that nothing is permanent. The virus is there today and it will vanish away sooner or later. So use this free time to learn the regional language of your dream holiday destination.



A small financial tip here- Learning a new language not only helps you with your travel plans, but can also help you with some income. There are plenty of jobs out there for translators that indeed are paying very well.
 
2.       COOKING

People say that they cannot live without internet and wifi. But trust me one thing that is far above 4G/5G/6G… XG is food!! I know, you will agree :P

Cooking is one skill that will never go for waste for sure. 



Imagine, if some day you are lost in some place where there are all sorts of raw material available, but no good cooks to relish your tongue. 

The above scenario sound unpractical, but believe me it exists in reality. The Paying Guests and hostels to give an example :P

So, lets use up our internet bandwidth to google some recipes and give a small delicious and yummy break to that tempting web series.

Learn to bake a cake, this is anytime the best birthday cake to your loved ones.

A financial tip again, but I know you are smart and you took the hint :P
 
3.        NURTURE AN OLD HOBBY

Nature has gifted each and every one of us with different types of talents. 

In our day to day busy lives we have kind of programmed ourselves to do the same routine stuff. Thereby we have buried our interests, hobbies and talents so deep down that we need to give some stress on our memories to recollect.

But yes, this is important. Take a moment to recollect:
What were the things that gave you joy?

 How we used to spend our school holidays? 

What was the best thing that you did in college?


I’m sure you must have thought of something or the other or may be a stack of hobbies. Now that you have some time, take this chance to nurture them for a while.

Hobbies can be anything singing, dancing, acting, writing, sketching, painting, gardening, playing an instrument, so many to pen down...

Believe me after taking out some time for your hobbies, you’ll be at such a peace and will feel very happy looking at your work :P
 
4.       HOME-DECOR

We all love to be in a beautiful place. Isnt it?

This quarantine time, hope to make your house more beautiful.

Let’s take a moment to get a thorough cleaning session and let your house become a wonderful ambiance.


Make use of some so-called useless stuff to make DIY decorative items to beautify your house, make some wall hangings, door hangings, photo frames etc.

You may invest a little time to do some gardening -include fruits, vegetables and flowers.

Fruits and veggies will add to your health and nutrition while, flowers will be a delight to your eyes and nose.

After all the effort, “Stay at home” would be prettier. :)
 
5.       SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY

Rather than wasting time to curse the COVID-19 virus, spend time with your family and friends.

This will not only strengthen your bonds but will also refresh your old memories. 


You can laugh together at the “serious problem” on which you spent sleepless nights during that time.

You can sit back and listen to the stories of your parents and grandparents to get a retro- feel.

Teach them to use mobile phones and computers and cook for them their favorite meal at times.

 
These were just a few ideas. 
I am damn sure you would have many more brilliant ways of spending your free time. 

Remember this is even useful for people who are working from home. Allocate some time for these activities and they are sure to bring that smile on your face.

Also, I have tried to jot down some points which would help people working from home. Here’s the link- Click here
Read and any suggestions are always welcome :)
Stay happy and stay safe!!

5 ways to Stay Fit While Working From Home

Covid-19 and the lockdown are the over debated and hot topics this year.  While the world is arguing about the spread of the virus as a conspiracy against the other countries, the spread of coronavirus still remains a mystery.  So, let’s leave the topic to them and move our focus to a topic which according to me is equally important and that is our Fitness.  As there is a state of lockdown in most parts of the world, most of the employees are working from home.  While work from home is the need of the hour, the precious thing we forget is our health and our fitness.  Work from home gives you the flexibility that your entire house can be your workplace.  However, if your work is heavily dependent on the internet then the above point may not be applicable to a few. But jokes apart, amidst this flexibility, we often ignore our sitting postures, our lunch timings, our family time and some people like me even forget to keep ourselves hydrated.☺ These things which we a
