Day #1 contd.
ICSE student in my room was flaunting how they have read classics like Mcbeth and Great Expectations in school. The KVian and CBSE pass out in me has started reading it already. We don't flaunt and we aren't easily impressed.

Lockdown Day#2
Essentials are available easily in neighborhood. Got milk and vegetables. Wondering if jogging in nearby park/road is allowed or not, even if I go alone? 🧐 @BlrCityPolice ?
Need to work on a planned routine to stay sane.

Update on Day #2
We ran out of gas. Asked our private supplier to bring a cylinder. He did after 4-5 calls and 4 hrs of waiting. Earlier it was priced at 850inr now he charged us 950inr without a bill. This sucks. He promised he will send the bill. Let's see.

4.f says gas retail outlets to be open under exception, Pvt ones too. So i am thinking I will take action against this gas guy as he was saying police is asking us to close and give all reasons to hike the gas price.
Day #2 contd.
Thinking of resuming my Game Theory course on Coursera. Had to leave it after 1st week because of work. Seems like a good time. Meanwhile the girl in the house is working her ass off- WFH is real deal for some. 😐

Found this workout routine very nice and tiring. Could manage 2 sets of 7minutes each separated by 2-3 mins gap. Try it out since we can't go out for jog or gym.

There seems to be power cut and the caretaker of the apartment must have passed out after 2 peg and isn't bothering to put the generator on. Aah well, into the darkness then. Knox.

Looking out of the window,that pink poui tree in the distance imparts sense of calm and hope. We have sort of managed to get the sleep routine in place. Chalked out To Dos list for today.

Day #3
Haven't yet resorted to binge watching movie and web series etc. Trying to still explore more constructive avenues. Books, Coursera, corona etc.
Meanwhile if someone wants to see WFH , they can pay a visit and see the lady in the house slogging. Scary shit.

Family back home is also bored in lockdown and is browsing old photo albums from childhood and sending across WA. Yes, they made me and my brother wear same clothes. We had multiple such sets. 😐

Day #4 contd.
My current worry is- I had lost about 10kgs in last 3 months and was starting to feel better about myself. I think this lockdown will take me back in time. My favourite workout was running and that's absolutely taken away now. Floor exercises are -- meh! 😢

Earth Hour today. Not sure how many remember this , already so much on everyone's plate. Have switched off all non essential electric lights.
Meanwhile another disaster - like situation is unfolding at Delhi-UP border. God forbid even if handful of them are Covid+ve.

We are almost half 1/3rd year to 21 day lockdown (initial).
Have started picking up old books and old thoughts. Need to cut down on my black coffee intake. Btw, I have been winning the "random slap game" against bae.

My Game Theory course is going faster than Great Expectations book. Have barely read 50 pages of this "classic" but have finished more than 50% course of game theory, managing to barely cut the 70% criterion. 😥
Another hectic wfh day for the girl next to me. #Lockdown21

Lockdown Day #7
Today is 7th day of Navratri. We do the major pooja on Ashtmi so today is last day of fasting. We usually invite kids(girls mostly) from neighborhood and prepare food for them. It's a common sight in northern India to see these kids being in high demand on 1/2

Ashtami and Navmi and they make some money also in the process (bribing I would say). But this year, none of that would be happening. Mother used to wake up at 4am to prepare food because if you are late,the kids are already full. Anyway. #Lockdown21 #LockdownDiaries #COVIDー19
Day#7
So the girl in the house confronted her manager today(on call)&told him to be efficient in scheduled meetings. Apparently he reserves a 15min slot for meeting on calendar but goes on for 40mins. Yep, that's how worked up she is.
My scared ass running amok in kitchen rn.

I have resumed the usage of Zen Mode on my OP6 phone because I am squandering my time mostly on twitter and other online browsing. Evidently my eyes are feeling the strain. So, yea. #lockdowndiary #Lockdown21

So with today 1/3 of lockdown period has come to an end. I think one major reason we haven't fought is , she is mostly busy with work and I am figuratively jobless and pretending hard to upgrade my skills. Next on show off list is coding. Will sleepy to that thought.

An important update. Since the lockdown i haven't been able to find Atta Maggi or even the maida maggi in the stores-the primary junk food source in India. Interestingly, Ching's noodles have taken over the world it seems. Tried one packet and found it too salty. Yuck. #NoChing
Day #8 contd.
I was feeling pretty rich about my glass flask for coffee and until she took this one out from some unknown place. 😏

Lockdown Day #9
Things have started to get a bit boring now. #COVIDー19 numbers in India have spiked in last 2-3 days. A major chunk to this spike is attributed to TJC where I see - failing citizens in their civic responsibility and govt failing in its responsibility. 1/2

Now some are busy excessively in communalising it and others in blaming solely the govt, everyone has their biases. But India is glaring at a breach of catastrophic magnitude. Ppl unwilling to come forward after TJC should be punished - from victim to criminal. #Lockdown21
Day #9
Another set of ppl that need to be punished are those violating quarantine. It's difficult for everyone but if incidents like that if indore where med staff was chased by mob is just disheartening. Punish the fuckers. 😡

I have started to work upon my distancing from phone. This pic of a screentime restriction app. As per the app my phone usage type is "addicted". :(
Covid cases in India are just blowing up now it seems. May citizens help save this country.

I feel I have started to put on weight and my body is badly craving a casual jog/run. 😢
Right now I am flirting with the idea of going for jog early in the morning on nearby track - 5:30am -6ish type. Just that I am not used to waking up that early. #Lockdown21 #COVID

Woke up early - 0545 ist. Worked out a bit and now to the daily repertoire. Hopefully will cut down on screentime. Can't switch off phone because I might be asked to come to office if needed. Aah well.

I think I have pulled a muscle in enthusiasm to jog this morning. The right leg is in pain. The daily chronicler has helped me stay sane and to the task.

Another thing that I find tad disconcerting is , ppl assume that PM is calling all the shots single handedly, without any consultation. If grid issue can come to mind of a regular person, it wouldn't have crossed the experts advising PM, holding talks/conferences? Bah!

Moreover the dude (PM) is more popular than I gave him credit for.

670+ Covid cases already today. The nunbers in Maharastra ,esp Mumbai are just blowing up. Very disconcerting stats and I guess that's how the numbers double every 3-4 days. We were getting comfortable with 450 around casesfor past few days. Now 700+ likely. 😢

Contrary to my prejudice about audiobooks, I think they are good enough. Although my compulsive self downloaded EPUB file of the book also just in case to refer. 🙈 But all in all, decent work audiobook team ✌️. Not needed though during lockdown but later on...go!

Normally I would have cheered that only 1 day is left for 21 days to be over but general consensus seems to be towards extended lockdown. Anyway, phase-1 of lockdown is edging culmination. Cheers to that. ✌️

By now most ppl have got used to this lockdown, especially the class that can afford to stay home, practice social distancing and post food pics. Hence, April is passing considerably faster than March. It was all a matter of getting used to.

Day #22 contd.
Overall a semi-productive day. Did few things that were slated before procrastination took over. Rest will be done tomorrow along with tomorrow's To Do list. It's a terrible cycle of piling on.

Lockdown Day#23
I think I have overestimated my potential and underestimated my targets while chalking out 'To Do' things. Classic case of end sem exam syndrome from college.
On lighter note, have started listening to this on audible. #NotABook #LockDownDiary #COVID19

One last day before office resumes for me. I have been consistent with floor workout for past one week and I feel better finally. Not sure if I am putting on weight or not though. I hope not. #Lockdown2 #LockdownDiaries #Covid_19

So this is perhaps 2nd or 3rd time during this lockdown that I have felt completely lost and directionless.
Now I have made my 10days work plan as wallpaper for my laptop,tablet&phone.Yes,all three.
Lockdown has been characterised by such sense of hope& despair

Lockdown Day #25 (Unlocked)
Office is currently working with 1/3 of manpower and so today onwards it's my turn to be on the watch. 😎 There is a reason they call it graveyard shift.😒

The whole day practically went in sleeping, lazying around. This is kind of the ritual post the graveyard shift. 😥
A lazy day and lazy food, swadisht nonetheless. 😁

I had realised this quite sometime back but I think now I am going to officially make the switch from Kindle paperwhite to my good old classic.
Paperwhite is soporific , I don't know why. 🙈 All hail the old kindle.

Updates:
Crude prices hitting rock bottom, literally.
Covid19 cases on rise despite increasing temperatures (no points bere).
I unknowingly washed my hands with soap when I only intended to get them wet.
Politics at peak amidst Covid.

With single digit runway movement and scheduled runway closure at BLR, thought of trying my hand at chess after ages and damn that was a phenomenal victory.
Kidding, the opponent was really weak and played after years too. 🙈

Above was a pic of work station.
In many other countries, the system dependence is much higher or to say, the infra available is much better (image).

Lockdown Day #30
A month of lockdowns comes to an end, lockdowns continues.
Govt freezes DA/DR of its employees.
Finally I think it's settling for me that it's going to be like this for a foreseeable future and it fucks me up badly. Leaders across the World are comparing 1/2

the current scenario with WW-II. IMF projects worst recession since the GD of 1930.All this is finally sinking now. Lay offs seem to have started.Airline (Mauritius,Virgin Australia) filing for bankruptcy & inevitably many will follow suite. WHO saying worst isn't here yet, TF!
Lockdown Day #31
Remember when mornings were a routine and weekends were an aberration.Yes,that. Now lockdown mornings itself have become a routine. I am thinking of taking up some freelancing work if it suits me.This lockdown feels like the proverbial Long Night.

Did you know there was section of mathematicians and scientists that favoured octal or duodecal system over the currently used decadal system? There argument was using duodecal is better as 12 has more factors than 10. Anyway, number 32 threw me on this tangent.

I am nearing completion of this book. By tonight or noon of tomorrow I would have successfully completed 1st audiobook of my life.

On wider thoughts, I think audiobooks are great option for reading fiction, short stories, biographies provided the narrator is good e.g. Ruskin Bond 😍. Not so great for non-fiction genre or those remotely touching academic discourses. Personal views, of course.

Remember the times of Onion Crisis? The per kg cost had shot up to 200 rupees.
The guy on the street today is selling 5kg onion for 100 rupees. I am not saying it is entirely b/c of #COVID2019 , but just amused.

Last night again India registered it's highest ever #Covid19 tally. Soon 2k positive cases would be norm and it will only increase, if the current situation is any guide. The country has been under lockdown since Mar23.The cases since then have increased 65times

The pressure to open the economy is real and perhaps inevitable. Ppl will die either way, it seems. May more force be with ppl who are at the helm and taking decisions on behalf of 1.3bn, for the will be the one criticised (nonetheless) for years to come.

Could be just me but of late I have been noticing a disturbing trend of demonising govt employees. Yes, the machinery is huge and slow but the new generation (not all ofcourse) is trying to change the perception and working exactly how they would have in any Pvt firm

Few days back DA were freezed at Dec 2019 levels till July 2021 for CG employees. Which means DA was last revised in July 2019. 2 years unadjusted for inflation now. Hardly ppl spoke about this- public or Pvt sector employees. Some section lauded this move and 1/2

suggested that the 7PC revisions should also be "clawed back". 7PC came in 2016.
Today the IRS team has submitted a document titled 'FORCE' to suggest raising fiscal means to fight Covid. I see so many on Twitter against this and have shamed IRS for this.

Why? The suggestion include higher tax slab for 'super rich' (or bringing back wealth tax) and additional cess. Both as temporary measures. But somehow these are unpalatable. All govt employee by default are tax payers. 1L crore roughly could be the savings from NO-DA

Am evening spent well. Amidst moon and stars and trees and dogs and owls too (yes, no pic though). A good day to jog on the backstreets. The new #bangalorenightlife is equally pretty.
