COVID19  an uninvited and invisible guest that is taking so much time to leave our Planet .

We had heard about  WORLD WARS earlier , but now we have seen the same situation like that since last year.  In war, person kill another person, in COVID person who get infected is threat to another person. 

What a irony that during war people who were killed got peacefully and respectfully get final rituals, but in COVID Case this was impossible and also life threatening for others to give final respectful good bye for their decised loved ones.

Meanwhile Some NGO'S came in front for doing respectfully rituals of decised.

Now let's go one year earlier.. 

when in January'20 some news are coming from China's Wuhan city that due to some infection the said  city was cut off from another regions. I heard this type of news first time in my life and so also it gives goosebumps to me. 

I have heard that situation was too much threatening than it was showing in news. That time our Government also became alert regarding this. But tsunami was yet to come in our lives.

I remember it was march , the time of holi when I go to my boss cabin to wish him, he alerted me that don't play holi if possible. That time I didn't understand why he was saying so. 

Then after holi some uneasiness was started in country.

Corporation vehicles were coming to sanitize the public places. Advertisements of masks , sanitizers could be watched in TVs.

At that time doubts were started  coming in minds that definitely there were some things to concern.

But in life never faced or seen such Crisis, so totally unaware for the things, that was going to happened in coming days.

I remember it was 19th march 20 (Thursday) I was on leave from office . Then I have been told Friday will be no office and sat,sun was week off. 3 days have been spared to fight corona. 

Then suddenly I heard that our PrimeMinister will address the nation on Sunday night. We were concerned that definitely there will be some instructions or guidelines that our PM will give.

Then on Sunday night our PM started addressing , as he announced complete lockdown or we can say JANTA CURFEW for 21 days, I was too much happy that I get rid of my daily routine for some days. 

Now the Game began here..some words were going to became part of our lives.. Lockdown , curfew , masks , sanetizers etc. The environment of panic started. I remember the month end was about to come and that night people started rushing towards shops to purchase essentials , they have forgot Government had given relaxation of some hours to open shops . But people were creating panic . My parents were also part of those rush. But frankly telling i was not worried .

The roads were without traffic , I have never ever seen such deserted roads in my life . The police men were performing their duties and become Corona warriors. 

Some government vehicles were coming with full of daily needy things.

On Roads we could see some people distributing eatables to needy ones.

The most effected persons were those street vendors , factory workers whose livelihood closed due to lockdown. In concern of how they would manage their lives, they decided to rush towards their home towns , states. As we know in Delhi mostly workers , street vendors were outsiders from different states, cities. 

Now 21 days passed in understanding what the lockdown was , 18th april had come , end of first lockdown. But viewing the severity of condition ,lockdown was extended till 3rd May.

In between some heart breaking pictures had came in front of us. As virus was spreading and in absence of any treatment infected were losing their lives. We found CORONA WARRIORS in form of health workers , doctors , cleaners , sweepers , ambulance persons. Knowing that their lives was in danger , they were serving infected patients.  

 Another sad story was of migrant wokers , who were in hurry to reach their homes. Instead of waiting for some arrangements to be made by government they decided to walk towards their homes.

Some good pictures were also came in front of us , as capable persons were helping the needy ones. we also heard some landlords waived off rents of their tenants.

We also see some pictures where wild animals found wandering on roads, as there were no vehicles.

Also mountain peaks of himalayan range could be seen from some of punjab , haryana regions due to distinguishable environment in absence of pollution. That was unique experience for people residing there. 

Many things were changed during lockdown. Online classes of students , work from home were the things we ever only heard , but this time seeing in reality. Working from home was looking so comfortable in starting but after some days we need different rooms , new laptop , office chairs , tables.

One more thing that changed was fooding habit. BreakFast and lunch had now became BRUNCH , breakfast + lunch at lunch time.

In between new term came that was Loan Moritorium, Banks has given 5 months relief from paying EMIs.

Now It was 1st July when UnLock had been started. Many things were changed . 

People started going out with masks. 

In My view Benefit of Lockdown was that our Medical facilities enhanced and prepared to fight for this virus.

And yes two things we celebrated during this lockdown were
