Day 10 of partial shut down. Day 1 of this page

Today, 22 March 2020, in Kuwait it is reminiscent of probably the gulf war days, only now the enemy is an invisible force, Coronavirus. The streets are empty, there is silence everywhere, there are even birds chirping. Maybe they were always chirping just never got the chance to hear them. For however grim this situation may seem, we all are today playing a role, a crucial role. No matter how insignificant it may seem in this journey to recovery. You and your contribution will not be forgot. For those who say all you have to do is stay home, whats the big deal in that, I know what is the big deal in that.

From a young age we are all programmed to run, play, study, work and keep on the move, no matter what. Our lifestyles have evolved and we have grown to become a restless civilization. Along with our planet revolving 365 days around the sun without pausing, so have our lives become too. You just cannot hit the brakes when your in top gear. It takes time to gradually slow down, to stop.

Now we are forced to stop, to spend time confined within the comfort of our home. But is our home comfortable? Are we used to having long conversation? Do we still have the skills connect with each other? I guess now is where we find out. If you feel you don’t have the skills, now is when you develop them. If you feel your house is not comfortable, now is when you make it.

Across the next few days, I will share my journey during this self quarantine, what have i learnt and somethings I wish I never knew about myself. I will share some tips of what you can do while in self quarantine.

If you would like to share your thoughts with others please share in comments and our insta page.
