Ever since the lockdown began, I’ve been testing every skill I thought I was capable of and started concentrating on things that I was good at.

If it wasn’t for the curfew, I’d literally spend the whole day outdoors and never realize that I had to give importance to certain things that could only be done indoors.

And so, I put together a list of ‘lockdown activities’ as I call them to keep my mind from any menacing thoughts of the deadly coronavirus.

• Play piano
• Randomly read the dictionary
• Photoshop and add taglines to photos
• Resolutions for the new academic year
• Read books
• Improve handwriting
• DIY best out of waste
• Design signature
• Paint moods and memories
• Watch documentaries and informational television shows (Brainchild, Brain Games-NAT GEO)
• Write poems ( I haven’t done this before but I’d love to try it out…..and um how do I start?)
• Maintain a scrapbook or a trove
• Install learning apps and online study material
• Self-portraits and pencil sketches
• Doodle on mugs and make handmade key chains
• Read poems, blogs and watch YouTube videos (Keep it random)
• Haven’t got any friends? Don’t worry, you’ve got Google on your side at all times.:)
  • https://entechus.com/search-engine-tips/
  • https://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/20-tips-use-google-search-efficiently.html
  • Ask Google to ‘flip a coin’ or ‘do a barrel roll’- believe me it’s fun!

• Try calligraphy or photography.
• Something self-destructive (might seem unusual but go ahead with it only if you’re confident with your decision) like MINDVALLEY that’ll help you reshape your conceptions and beliefs.
• Organize your workspace (increases productivity of your work when the surroundings are comfortable)
• Learn a new language!
