Lockdown 1: We can do this together. We just need a new task every week to look forward to.
Lockdown 2: I miss dining outside, so I'll learn to cook my favourite dishes. I'll start by baking a cake because apparently, that's a new skill that HRs are going to look for post-pandemic.
Lockdown 3: I am being fired. I am not being fired. I am being fired. I am not being fired. Am I being fired?
Lockdown 4: I have learnt to co-exist with lizards.
Future lockdowns: Dobby wants to be free.
Well, that summarises my last few weeks. But how are you? Alive, I'm assuming. Some weren't as lucky. Here’s a new term for you - tree sexism! Thanks to people’s preference towards male trees.
I've been spending the lockdown praying that things get back to normal soon, so Salman bhai can start shooting and stop singing, writing or selling sanitisers. When I'm not busy working, on Netflix, weighing in on internet wars (YouTube is way better btw) or avoiding bhai's songs, I can be found exploring Bumble, the app that took ladies first tad too seriously. To break the ice, I asked a match, 'Sunrise or sunset?', and he replied, 'Sleep'. Well, I'd vibe with that thought but that's all people seem to be doing this lockdown. Me? I mostly use it as an excuse to ignore calls and texts since I can no more lie about being out and busy. Though there is one thing I absolutely look forward to every day - the after workout photos of Dulquer Salmaan <3.
Life hasn't been easy. But at least there are some things that haven't changed. I still have the same reply guy. Money Heist is still overrated. The Indian series on Netflix are still as bad. Michael's cameo in The Office finale still makes me cry. I'm still single. Telecallers have continued to be in touch. I have been atmanirbhar before Modiji made it cool. I still hate weather updates from God's favourite child, Bangalore. However, one thing has changed. Corona doesn't scare me as much as the electricity bill does.
