Lockdown Diaries:When I Finally Enrolled to My Writing Classes !!

Lockdown Diaries:When I Finally Got Enrolled To The Content Writing Class !


ENROLLING To The Class

Yay!! I’m finally able to persuade my husband to credit some money in my depleting bank account.(It has actually drained due to pay-cuts ..another lockdown effect) 

YES “CLICK”, Google pay button pressed and I’ve made successful transactions to become a student once again !! (Gpay is the one thing learned recently by me...extremely helpful if you have enough cash in your account)


The countdown begins as tomorrow is Day 1 of My Content Writing class.I sleep dreaming to be writing an Arnab Goswami who writes very well ...yeah,I know he actually mostly debates verbally very well !! 

DAY1: Yes, it’s 8;30 p.m.I’m on Social meeting site with my mentor.I get to know about types of content writing. Introduction and many interesting tips which I was unaware of. I was totally feeling like an ignoramus when I came to know what is copywriting exactly and its significance. Till today I supposed it to be just typing or data handling !! What a fool of me !!

Well as all pleasant times take a break, the class was over with an assignment to be completed by the next evening when we meet again for the class .i.e.Day2.

Yes, an assignment that I received after a long time because earlier I was always only giving it as a teacher.I was super excited and looking forward to completing it.I again went to sleep with the contentment of getting a step closer to my passion and planning to work on my assignment.

NEXT MORNING: Positive ! I will complete my work as I have planned my routine for today to get enough time to free my self for assignment.
 Already done all the utensils last night to reduce kitchen work. Who knows the maid may be late! 

Mother O Mother !!

Early morning my mother calls me as I”m sipping my tea. She immediately barged -" Shreyash(my son) was telling me that you are not giving them those ladoos .Didn't I ask you to prepare our traditional sonth,daalchini,alsi laddu, and to give to them? You youngsters can do nothing else than just taking short cuts in life !!”

 The complain song continued...with the warning not to blame her if the immunity of everyone weakens. She wants the images of the laddu till 11 am else she will team up with my M-I-Law and continue with the complaint ranting. Well, keep all work aside and add on a recipe of laddu along with that daily kadha. These are more important than YOUR assignment !!

Patriarchy (Yes!!)

Why has the maid not yet shown up? I finally call her to know the reason. Back comes the reply that the Main gate Gaurd at the Entry of Factory colony denied permission to her to stop the spread of “Corona”.Yes, I stay in an official campus. On inquiring more, I came to know that all household helpers were prohibited entry until further notice !! As far as I know, all the casuals in the office are also coming after the lockdown and many were called during it too !! Only help at home can be a carrier? Are the casuals, workers immune to it? At the office, you don't want to manage without help but at home, you expect the woman to prove herself a super one !! Isn’t it an excellent example of a Patriarchal society? But who cares !! Many more dilemmas of poor Miss and Mrs, maybe next time !! 

Lockdown Guests !!


Local relatives who have a marriage in the family have come to a nearby market for that pending shopping.No place nearby safe for refreshment so luckily for them and guiltily I accept unluckily for me ...they remembered me !! So here I’m serving them from the afternoon to nearly evening with my assignments at the back of my mind.

Evening again !!

 I quickly throw my self to my assignment ...do you think I have any imagination left with such a reality? Yes, this is my today. I have my duties, my dilemmas, and grudges. Very similarly innumerable people are too juggling with their duties and their passions.

But still now this short duration, the evening is there ..........I” ll make this mine and you too find out that short personal moment of yours !!

  5. Remembered my excitement for my content course first lesson. Coincidentally I too had this course in 2020, when I was in grade 10. Being in grade 12 now my mother does the work at home. And her routine turns out to be same as you. Finally, getting only few hours to study for her self.

    Beautiful writeup,,, keep writing...waiting for more
