The covid-19 pandemic has been an absolute shocker to the world. With highly advanced technologies and power in all spheres, human looked helpless in front of a tiny virus. This is the way nature tells you that you have limits, and if you cross lines beyond a permissible limit to satiate your greed, you will bear the consequences.

But most of the world is not looking to cross the limits or challenge nature. People are following the ways of life available to them. Earlier there was less work without computers, and now we have more work with computers. You can say that a new era with an ocean of opportunities is there. Now, you can learn skills and earn a name and money. But it excludes peace of mind and rest to the body.

Now, for that, nature provides you a break you never thought was possible.

Many people used these few empty weeks to enjoy life and spend quality time with family and self. And of course, they will take a stronger bonding with family and themselves out of this lockdown period. Some even learned new skills or honed their lost prowess. Some increased their screen time and watched all those movies and series that they were finding difficult to manage with their regular work-life.

The best part of any new this is that it is always exciting if you see it positively. This change that locked everyone inside their homes brought a mixed initial reaction. For some, it was frustrating to stay home all the time, while for many others, it was time to chill and relax. This perhaps was the break people always wanted but could never afford.

Jobs have limited paid leaves, and that means the employee must use them wisely. People would save these leaves for visiting their parents, attending weddings, or going on vacation with family. But none of these ever included a homestay with family and without any outside help—no maid, no laundry, no packed food, and so on. The life was annoying initially as those who never even removed a plate from their dining table were required to do dishes or mop the floor. After initial resistance, people adapted to it and began learning and loving it all.

Soon people realized that the vacation with family at home could be cool. Everything was coordinated from dishes to clean floors to laundry to cooking. And when you apply the formula of teamwork from office into the home, you notice an added satisfaction of love from each other.

This will not last too long. Soon the life will become monotonous again with the same things being done repeatedly. This is the time. Make the best of memories for the rest of your life. Enjoy the Break while the virus dies outside unattended.
