Moping the floor this morning took me back to those days of my childhood when my mom use to assign us some easy household duties during our summer vacations. Corona virus pandemic has brought the world on hold and specially India where the central government has just announced a lockdown for the entire country. Amidst our fight against this virus, our lives has kind of rebooted itself, didn’t it? The time we are spending with our families is what we never thought we ever would. Everything seems to be as it was 15 years down the line when our lives didn’t revolve around the internet. It was simple yet beautiful. . I still remember the times when my mom use to tell me about her childhood days and the simplicity of that time. Few cars on the road, ample of household work to do, limited means and food and absolutely no outing. Aren’t we all living the same life now? India has been locked down completely for 21 days and our high speeding lives have got down its gear and lowered the speed. We are moping the floors on our own, washing our dishes own our own and cleaning the house all by ourselves. It is almost after an eternity that my plants, home, family and even my pet has all my attention. No matter how difficult these days might appear, this will be the most memorable period of our lives. And more than that it will definitely teach us a lot if it already haven’t. More than anything, it has taught me the value of our culture and the thought behind creating it. Our “Namaste” was just a way of greeting for me before I understood how smartly our ancestors designed it; for it had no physical contact with the other person. And this is exactly why we see the entire world, including Prince Charles himself, adopting the same. Our traditional Kaada (Herbal Drink) and its importance has not just been understood but also adopted by the world in this fight against coronavirus. From Biryani’s and Pizzas, our life has again come down to our simple and healthy daal-rice and roti. Fancy tetra pack juices have been replaced by fruits and green teas have gone tossed by our traditional tulsi-tea. Haven’t this virus rebooted our lives and taught us the true value of our traditions?
#lockdown has kind of stopped so much. Our lives, the world, pollution, so much more. I had so many plans for my home decor month but all of that is on a standstill. So just sharing my favourite corner of the kitchen today for #tuesdaytrendingpost . Just some simple picks from @surajkundcraftsmela and a craft store.

With the threat of #coronavirus increasing day by day, many of us have opted for #workfromhome . While as a #workingmother this hasn’t been a very odd situation for me. I have to work from home on days my daughter isn’t attending the school for any given reason. . . As much as people think it to be easy, for those with kids, it’s as difficult as climbing #everest . So here are a few ways I work from home while keeping my daughter engaged and my house super managed. . . A NIGHT BEFORE The planning for the next day starts from a day before and with this technique, you’ll increase your productivity to almost double the next day. Before going to bed, clean your entire house and kitchen to keep it easy for the next day. If your house is cleaned at night, you’ll tend to save a lot of time the next morning for other work. . . EARLY BIRD Waking up early is the best way to kick start your day. Try to wake up early and get the house and yourself ready before your kid wakes up. Your speed tends to get almost double when you have the timer on you. Finish your house hold chores and set up the entire house and breakfast before you are ready to entertain your kid. . . PRIORITY & PLAN This is the trickiest part and I learnt my lesson the toughest way. I was on a call with a client when my house help started cleaning the utensils in the noisiest way possible. It be became super embarrassing. So now I try to plan my work according to the situation. Only the desk job is done while my daughter and the house helps are around. All the calls are kept for the afternoon when there’s no one at home and my daughter is taking her afternoon nap. . . HOME SHOULD LOOK LIKE HOME I am very particular about this. No matter what, I hate to compromise with the cleanliness and organisations of my house. I make sure that even if I’m working from home, my home isn’t loosing it’s charm. My work station is cleaned immediately after work. A clean environment will always boost your capacity. . . So I hope these little tips help you just the way they have been helping me. .
