Mala Thhapar draws on her experience to guide us on how to make the most of our quarantine days
Mala Thhapar
Cash In On Your Quarantine

In 2018, my sister suffered from lung failure, swine flu, and pneumonia. Her pulse and BP were untraceable, and she was on a ventilator for many days. After more than one and a half years of treatment, she is in perfect condition today. I used to be my sister’s caregiver during her ICU, isolation room, and quarantine days, and we were together in it for 18 months.

In today’s coronavirus times, people are baffled as to how to quarantine themselves. Most of them are confused about what to do at home. Working professionals are also confused about business, economy, and work-from-home timelines.

I am not an economist, a politician, or a saint, but as someone who has been there, I would like to share my learning and experiences with you.

Make a conscious choice

Whatever the crisis or disease, the individual must make conscious use of positive words and be like a powerhouse of positivity. Search for at least one positive thing in every situation. Remember, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining.” When you consciously make this choice, it is seen in your body language. And you never know—it can give life to someone dying!

Before getting up from the bed, say “What a wonderful day!” The 24 hours are given to us by God to hope. During the day, try to live in the moment. Live in the NOW. While retiring to bed, make a routine to be grateful for three things that happened during the day. Additionally, seek and ask for forgiveness for three things during the day. Within no time, you will surprise yourself!
