Chapter 1

I was feeling so hungry and this graving for Chinese

street food is ….. till today evening I didn’t knew about
CORONAVIRUS so I hurridly ask my mother to
accompany me to the market and help in relishing the
food . after strong opposition from dad I along with
mom went to the market and enjoyed the food not
even knowing that this would be my last visit to this
place where I spend my every evening of so many
years. Peacefully sleeping with the taste of Chinese
food in my glands ; a new day started with dad
watching news channels.
His stern look at me about last visit still remembers me
of those children who initially rebel and then hide
somewhere to avoid harsh sarcasm. May be that’s why
Indian parents r irreplaceable. Mom working in the
kitchen as usuall calls me to take my breakfast. Let me
tell you without coffe there can be no breakfast for me
but making coffee is not my cup of tea! In my house
mornings are the busiest time of the day inspite of this
that I don’t go to school anymore or go out for work as
I am having work from home (which I enjoy
sometimes) or dad has strict office hours since he also
has his own business of selling others houses and
making them buy from others. I still wonder what
makes her so much busy even when she wakes up at
5am. Well I may not comment otherwise I lll lose my
yummy paranthas which is the tradionall food of any
Punjabi family. Usually our morning starts like this only
dad getting ready to go somewhere (I still don’t know
where he actually goes) mom screaming to do things as
fast as we can only because she wants to wrap up so
that our maid can come and clean the house and me
silently watching the silent war which is going to turn
into world war like everytime. You must be wondering
why this war? Well this happens every morning
because of some one way habits of my parents. My
mom has a habit to finishing task quickly and dad loves
to delay 😊 and ultimately they broke silence and it
turns into argument which results into war.
With this usual morning routine which was going to
change drastically soon I woke up and tied up my laces
for gym jog. As I reached gym To my surprise the gym
was closed with a notice pasted on the shutter that
due to coronavirus gyms are closed. This was the big
setback due to the most important reason as I just
started coming in my shape. I am not a fitness freak
but as doing physical exercise secret happy harmones ;
doing gym made me happy but now happiness no
more. I returned back to my home and got ready for
my French classes. To all my readers I am
professionally a French language instructor and a big
struggler in getting students even after having
experience of 7 wonderful years. Well that’s the truth!
With the discussion of this virus with my students I
believe that I should go and buy my necessities just in
case of lockdown.
In my entire life I had never heard this term ‘lockdown’
but I didn’t knew that god will not only make me learn
this new term but also make me experience so that I
should never forget till my last breathe. I have this
quality of delaying things specially when it is to go
market and purchase things. But this time I think god
wanted to teach me a lesson. With some more delay
sitting together and watching the newsof how the virus
is spreading I asked my dad that what if this will spread
in india ? what will happen to us? the moment he was
about to answer I heard something . it sounds like I
heard of first corono patient in india. Taking this not so
seriously I was still wondering whats wrong with
America and china? America is the superpower , France
and Italy is best known for cleanliness then why this is
happening? Can really one bat can cause so much
destruction? With all these questions
