COVID-19: India Lockdown for 21 Days―Express Gratitude Every Day








India locked down for 21 days to prevent coronavirus from spreading across the country. It caused panic in the Indian citizens but it is a step in the right direction.  

People are not comfortable with the lockdown but it is in the larger interests of our nation. India has a population of more than 1.3 billion and it is a big challenge to combat coronavirus. The developed nations including Italy, Span, France and America are battling to contain it despite having better healthcare facilities.

Convert the threat of lockdown into an opportunity. Mary Kom is practicing aggressively during the lockdown. Several high achievers are leveraging lockdown to grow professionally. Some celebrities are adding value through donations and community services. In my case, I do research on COVID-19 regularly and share the knowledge freely with the world.  I express my gratitude to each friend every day who helped me in the past. I talk to the friend over the phone, recall the past golden memories and thank him for all the help. It is an opportunity to build bridges.

Reinvent your habits during a 21-day lockdown. Convert this threat of lockdown into an opportunity to build a cleaner and better India. Jai Hind!
