Envy
(noun)
The feeling you get when you go through your Instagram feed and wonder why you seem to lack the artistic/culinary/photography/miscellaneous skills that the majority of the population has chosen to unleash at the same time!
This is day #13 of the lockdown here in India. Wherever you are, I hope you are safe and well. Take care.
All around, people are painting, creating art, posting beautiful pictures and videos and cooking up quite a storm. Meanwhile, I’m here, glued to my mobile screen or my laptop, when I’m not eating or sleeping. I wonder if the lockdown can actually make me put a few kilos.
Ah, hopefully, today might be the day when I finally start doing YouTube-video inspired workouts. (If you are my Amma who’s reading this, then I guess the cat’s out of the bag. No, I haven’t started doing it. But I will. Today might be the day! Now please stop nagging me. :P)

Haha! I also see the other parents out there with their detailed schedules of “enrichment” for their children, where the best I can do is say “read a book and don’t hit one another.”

Pretty much everything is closed and we’re staying home. We’re bearing up.

It’s the same here. The essential supply stores are open and social distancing is the norm. Hang in there, Liam. Stay safe.
