How Are Arjun Chakrabarty, Raima Sen, Chandan Roy Sanyal Dealing With The Lockdown?

The coronavirus pandemic currently sweeping the world has all of us scrambling to stay safe from it and avoid it from spreading among each other. We are practising more stringent hygiene, as well as something called “social distancing” where we minimise physical contact with other people. Major events have been cancelled, and public areas have been shut until further notice. As we are trying to avoid going out, we are finding more time to ourselves for activities that are not social. Let’s take a look at some of the ways our stars are keeping themselves busy at this time.

Suddenly we have a lot of time for ourselves. Didn't we all want it?! But not like this I guess. There is a reason why they say prevention is better than cure and here we are, trying to do that finally. Surrendering ourselves to a lot of 'me time' without asking for it. To think of it there's a lot one can do. Read, write, watch, cook, exercise or just lie on your back staring at the ceiling for hours. It might seem a little overwhelming in the beginning. Eventually we will be able to find our way. Believing strongly that 'this shall too pass'. In all these 'me times' if you would like to catch up on a medical thriller which has 'me' as the protagonist then please feel free to watch Kark Rogue/Karkat Rogue on @zee5premium It can be a good company for a few hours or a few days in this time of house arrest.

As Karkat Rogue actor Chitrangada Satarupa puts it, “To think of it there’s a lot one can do. Read, write, watch, cook, exercise or just lie on your back staring at the ceiling for hours. It might seem a little overwhelming in the beginning. Eventually, we will be able to find our way.”  Now that’s reassuring and gives you plenty of options to consider.

No one saw this coming. Now we can only hope to overcome this as soon as possible. Let’s not be complacent, let’s stick to the basic safety precautions. If you’re safe, you can keep your loved ones safe. I’m using this time to relentlessly pursue my second passion, so I thought I’d share some of my favourite titles with you all. Past Tense – @leechildreacher Men Without Women – Haruki Murakami Exit West – Mohsin Hamid The Silent Patient – @alex.michaelides A Gentleman in Moscow (on the Kindle) Non fiction favourites coming up next 😊 Open to your recommendations and inputs. Take care, look after yourselves and your families and please follow the guidelines issued by health authorities.

This is what practice looks like these days .. more of just chilling & grabbing this monkey of mine ♥️ while she grabs my yoga mat .. Hope you guys are safe .. in your homes .. this break from the fast paced,action packed life of ours is actually much needed.. I so wish that it wasn’t forced.. & life wasn’t at risk ,with people suffering .. but then through destruction alone creation can be brought about .. & Nature has its way of showing us who the BOSS is .. let’s not fight it .. Surrender is the answer .. Yes this isn’t the right way .. but when have humans played it right, really ! Praying for your health & safety Stay safe ..stay healthy !
