At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon. Tonight is a very special night for me, and it's Kojagiri Pournima (Sharad Pournima as some might say). Ever since a child, year after year, we celebrate this day by sitting in the night flooded with the light of the full moon, drinking milk. Since moon is supposed to be closest to the earth on this day, the moon rays are said to have curative properties. The vessel containing the sweet is prepared and left in the moonlight to be consumed later. According to Ayurveda, the `pitta' or acidity aggravates at the end of the monsoon season. This is the reason why cooling foods are recommended to neutralise the pitta and balance it. The consumption of cold milk and rice flakes is supposed to be a good remedy for pitta.

Corona aka Covid - 19
I think the title suggests exactly what I'm feeling right now. So, its my Day - 6 of self quarantine and I'm paranoid , but calm (for now).
It's such a crucial time for the humanity and the world we live in.
At first there was so much of a chaos and rumors floating around about this virus that people were scared, hell I was scared too, but only information from the trusted sources came to the rescue.
WHO says:
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Precautions :covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing, not touching our face and self quarantine.
We, together can fight this pandemic just by being socially aloof, distant.
My heart goes out for those who are left vulnerable in this kind of situation and please please even if your immunity is good, don't socialize and think of those who might get the infection.
There are a lot of doctors and nurses who are working relentlessly to save the lives of people from this deadly virus. Those are our real heroes.
With all this going around, I really think we need to stop doing what we are doing till now. We need our families, we need the people we love, we need to stop focusing only on the job and money and temporary pleasures which make us selfish. We need to get together as a community and reach out to those in need.We need "us" .
Please stay safe. Till then,

Conversations will not be cancelled.
Relationships will not be cancelled.
Love will not be cancelled.
Songs will not be cancelled.
Reading will not be cancelled.
Self-care will not be cancelled.
Hope will not be cancelled.
May we lean into the good stuff that remains.
