“Quarantine has changed me & it feels great” - Charu Kashyap

Charu Kashyap certainly has mixed feelings about the lockdown.

While a part of her feels devastated for those who are grieving the loss of loved ones, those who lost their jobs, homeless workers, and elders who are advised to sit at home, at the same time she feels liberated.

“Although being on lockdown has been pretty grueling on balance, the surprise is that many of us have realized there are some things about quarantine life that are worth preserving,” says Charu.

Quarantine has allowed Charu to experiment with new habits and new lifestyles which she wants to continue even in a post-lockdown world.

“There are so many things I would like to maintain even post lockdown. Like less consumerism, slowing down and putting less pressure on myself, prioritizing family and friends, spending more time in nature, and most importantly doing my own work.

And finally, she feels that if you don’t emerge from this pandemic with any great new habits, that is absolutely all right. Sometimes surviving is an accomplishment in itself.
