The Alternate Life to lead while facing CORONA

    An year ago none of us did imagine being in a situation like that of what we are facing today. The worst that anyone could have thought of was something like a apocalypse, not the one like we see in "Now Apocalypse".

So now that we are facing this pandemic, people have started to think as to how one should live his/her life without losing the enthusiasm because to stay indoors for weeks, months is something still alien to us and we have never faced this situation before at least nothing that i remember of. everyone has been in search of something to keep themselves productive and to not die of depression and feeling worthless sitting at home. whilst many have resorted to keep themselves busy with watching many of the shows available on Netflix, Amazon Prime and the students had no other no way but to keep them busy with assignments, tests and had to get into the peer pressure of taking part in the race of number of E-Certificates earned in the lock-down period to prove their productivity.

There were very few who didn't get into this lock and have showed us to make even this kind of a situation bearable. One such activity would be to start gardening in our home. The only thing that we are facing problem is to make sure that our family is fed their 3 meals a day routine and that is why we are working in the first place. Home gardening may sound like it is some fancy hobby but it isn't. we could see it as the first step of being self-sustainable life that we want to lead and we grow what we want and do not go out buying what is available in the market, well it does make a huge difference in this situation at the least.

Growing your own essential veggie's can prove a lot helpful and safe to be exact. you wouldn't have to go veggie shopping every now and then. people have always had a habit of growing flowering plants around them, why don't we change it for now and start doing a bit of gardening ourselves. we have reached a point in time where we actually don't require load of soil to grow plants because we have cocopeat now.

    People have already started terrace farming and growing some in the balcony too. vegetables like tomato, chillies, brinjal types of guards and some greens like coriander, mint, fenugreek which are used daily in our kitchen and without which an indian meal is incomplete, but all we need is some interest and time be spent on it. it doesn't even cost a fortune to grow these and cocopeat is also available at reasonable prices then why not give it a try and eat what we grow ourselves. if you have the patience then you can may be start growing like carrot, radish and many which require time for their growth.
