The lockdown activities

In 2020 the world was hit by the pandemic of coronavirus. This pandemic created chaos all over the world. In India the growing cases of coronavirus resulted in lockdowns all over the country. As a college student, lockdown was quite fun there were many activities and social media to help us get over this lockdown.

The lockdown started from the end of March of 2020 and starting there were many different things that were done. 

To survive this lockdown people started watching the movies and web series for which they needed Netflix,  Amazon prime, hotstar, and other OTT platforms which provided many shows and movies to entertain the audience. There were many Indian web shows that also entertained for example web series like Asur, Special Ops, Patal Lok etc. There were old shows which were rewatched. I personally watched the famous Sitcoms like F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Brooklyn 99. This pandemic made the families close to each other as they got time to spend together,  the old Indian TV channel called Doordarshan also helped in this they retelecastes their recorded show Ramayana and Mahabharata so that the old generation could rewatch it and the new generation would also know about the Indian and Hindu mythology. In the later stages of lockdown Indian Premier League IPL also helped the audience spend time together as cricket is the most favourite sports in India and IPL is the most loved league so everyone enjoyed it.

Social media had a huge impact on everyone's life during this pandemic every generation people were available on social media as it connected them with their friends, everybody wanted to stay connected with their loved ones during this lockdown and pandemic. Social media made people do different challenges, like posting your pictures from different events and posting different bingos related to cricket, Food, City, travel, personality, etc. on their stories. People enjoyed doing these tasks, there were many different apps which also helped like an app called  house party in which the participants could connect each other with video calls and play different games. Many games became the daily routine of every teenager's life as they could play it on a regular basis during the lockdown.

During lockdown as people stayed at their home. Families did many activities together like cooking, there were many teenagers who learnt cooking and wanted to experiment with their foods. There were many cooking challenges like making dalgona coffee, it became very famous and everyone was making it. I personally baked my own cake, I made pizza and many more things. People also ate many healthy foods which helped their body to detoxify. 

The year 2020 was a disaster for many people and at the same time many people became more close to their loved ones. For some the year may be worst for some the year may be best. But the coronavirus pandemic is not a joke, it is still not over and is still spreading. Kindly take care of yourself and your family. Get vaccinated and stay safe.
