What pandemic taught me is 'patience'
While getting irritated with the word 'Pandemic' I was watching news. Over my head there was only one thing and that was the severe infuriation against the country from where it came from. I developed annoyance so high that it took toll on my mental peace. Everytime someone sneezed or coughed in my family even if they hadn't met anyone or went anywhere, I got alarmed and checked for symptoms of 'Covid 19'. I just didn't want to take risks. It was really making me go insane.
I stopped calling any help coming from outside and that led to the impact on my physical health too. I had to do all the household chores all alone. Yes, I know it doesn't sound that bad but believe me, for a person like me, it is the last thing that should happen.
So, earlier the free bird was clenched into the trap of household chores which made me realise that it could be a fun activity to do sometimes and yes not 'everytime'.
Feeding your loved ones the food that you have cooked and waiting for their expressions and appreciations had become my daily routine.
Even if everything was done till evening, I didn't curse anybody because I was the only one taking care of the home. I sometimes felt so overwhelmed by the fact that what would I do if this pandemic never ends? and cursed myself for thinking this non sense and I never dare to utter it.
I really have become more calm and kind towards my househelps because they must also have felt tired of doing stuff that I have been doing for few months and they also needed rest which hopefully they are getting now a days.
Now I have started calling some of them again in a hope that this pandemic is soon going to get over and obviously with utmost precautions.
Hopefully,  I maintain this patience and kindness lifelong. It is tough a bit because of the expectations I start having from them as soon as they start working but I will try my best to keep a tab on that.

Thank you readers for reaching to the end. If you like my blog please give it a heart and comment your views.
