So the lockdown has been extended till 3rd May. There are going to be some relaxations area wise, starting from 20th Apr depending upon if there have been no new cases in the area and many other conditions. But still we need to be careful. Countries all over the world are struggling with it. Once it gets out of hands, it will become impossible to control the spread.

The people who have suffered the most due to lockdown are the poor and daily wagers. A lot of them are stuck at places away from their hometowns and because of no public transport running, they aren’t able to reach their hometowns. There is no daily income for them, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive. Govt and many social organizations are putting their efforts to make it better for them but given the big population we have, that is not easy to manage. Hope the situation gets better. We need to fight it together.

So there is still no clarity about the lockdown extension at this moment. The number of cases is touching 10000. Hope it gets extended in some shape as still we haven’t able to flatten the curve. There are new hotspots being found every few days. It needs to be extended in some shape as otherwise the situation may get out of control. Let’s see what decision the government takes.

Today started on a fun note. A friend planned to have a Zoom call with all the buddies from my first company. It was fun. 7-8 people scattered all over the world were on call. So much to talk about. Feels so good to see everyone together on one call.

In the afternoon there was a message from Kent guys that someone will visit for servicing the RO ! Wow ! Canceled the request as got it done already.

The number of cases is still on the rise. The lockdown may get extended which is actually a good thing. That is the only way to keep things in control. Two states Kerala and Punjab has already extended it.

The groceries we ordered from BigBasket some 4-5 days ago were delivered today. Few items were missing because of being out of stock but still good enough. Got some of the essentials we needed. May need to plan another order as there are no immediate delivery slots available. But problem is that you prepare your cart and by the time you will go to place the order either some of the items will be out of stock or the delivery slots will become unavailable. The challenge these days. But still these online services have been doing good work. Helps people stay home. Milk and Grocery deliveries have been fine most of the time except initial one or two days of the lockdown.

So it was a holiday today. Managed to watch Adab Mutaiyaran on Prime. Good movie. Sonam Bajwa gets the Amritsar accent really right. That is the most fun part of it. It is a long weekend but we have been at home for weeks now anyway. So doesn’t feel much different. The same thing feels amazing if you have been going to office for 4 days. That time will come back. Yeah !
