8 Ways To Entertain Yourself

1 MY NEW EVERYDAY LIFE

Surviving Corona, one show at a time RICHA CHADHA, actress

For the first few days, I watched Contagion, the Netflix show Pandemic and TedX talks by people who saw the outbreak coming. Then I binge-watched 10 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm because I wanted some comedy. Now I intend to watch a host of Oscar-nominated films which I missed out on when they released and also the Netflix show Delhi Crime. My publisher will kill me if I am caught only watching stuff on Netflix and Amazon Prime, so I will be using the time to finish transcribing interviews and researching for my book which features anecdotal essays. I also bought a whole bunch of books. Currently, I am reading Blueprint for Revolution, a non-fiction title by Serbian author Srdja Popovic. I am taking an online dance course in tribal fusion and if the lockdown goes beyond March, I will start with guitar lessons too. I have also been regularly tracking the site covid19info.live for statistical updates about the pandemic.

2 MAKING SENSE OF NOW

A watchlist for the weary by Vikramaditya Motwane, director of Trapped, Udaan

Children of Men: The Alfonso Cuaron-directed futuristic thriller is frighteningly real as it offers a stark, vivid depiction of a society surviving in a chaotic time.

28 Days Later: Danny Boyle’s 2002 dystopian horror is the benchmark of how to get a zombie film right.

Moon: The science fiction drama by Duncan Jones is an exemplary study of isolation shown through the life of an astronaut.

3 APOCALYPSE NOW?

Thinking of doomsday scenarios? These three films were well ahead of the curve
