Here is my first, and its been long I wished to have one, a blog. The question, what should be my first blog about?, have been triggered me a lot. Sought the help of google for topics but all those niches didn’t give any ideas to bring out the writer in me. Then realized, why I can’t start with subjects that I can talk out of something that I know personally?

And this is for you all.

Right from the beginning of the lockdown one thing that I kept on hearing from my friends were, “This lockdown is so tiring, I’m done sitting at home, this is so depressing, and much more. Even I replied to them back the same. When all the days in a week felt the same it was little difficult to find things that make my day happening. Even when my family told me to learn new things, I never felt like doing. But dance came as my saviour as always.

I went to learn dance even before acknowledging what my interests are. So, dance was never new to me. It was a part of my life since childhood. Basically, a routine of my life. At the beginning it was nothing sort of a passion rather than a normal interest a six-year-old can have to make ups and costumes and of course to dancing. Until I resumed my learning process after my high school, going for dance class were nothing less than routine and interest. But, never I realize that there where a tint of passion in me. A passion to know more about a beautiful art form.

Few months after joining my new dance class I went for my higher studies and almost took a year break from the new routine. Still, there were some connecting factor that always connects me to dance. Even after pretty long breaks in learning I never felt lazy to get back, instead was more thrilled to learn new lessons. And now having so much of time to just be you, I thought this was the most suitable time to correct and improve my flaws.

Lockdown was a great witness to all my interests. Luckily, I was able to give a new approach to my talents and skills. So along with polishing the dance skills I thought of bring back the habits I kept it aside for a while. With a green signal to the decisions I have made I am still going strong with my likes. Learning new things were interesting but relearning the things I already knew were exciting. Both kept me soulful and fresh.

I think this lock down has become more like a season, a longer season than the other seasons that yearly comes. Covid might be there for more years, lockdowns may come in continuous intervals and sitting at home becomes little more often and regular. So, figuring out new interests that push off our boredom is a matter of concern.

Already many might have started and cracking it all the way possible. But who haven’t still figured it out its never late to find one. All that matters is to keep ourselves happening and less stressful. So, make sure we figure out something interesting and start making it as a pattern. It can be literally anything. But one thing that actually matters us is whatever we do, it should be out of our personal wish and love. Find ways of your own to stay positive and fresh. You will feel lively even before you realize it. Believe. It works…
