How I took the most from the Lockdown

It was a crisp March Morning and India was really excited and filled with patriotism for the Public Bandh (Lockdown by the Public), little did we know that this was the start of something that would affect all our lives, so much that the GDP went into recession for the first time since India’s independence.

I don’t know how why it exactly happened but, during the first week of this lockdown, while others were busy sharing and watching memes and TikTok, a thought came to my mind

Whenever this ends, I am not going to regret how I spent my time.

I am going to use this.

Hence, started my journey

  • Mind you, it was a journey
    From going to reading just college books into reading more than 30 books in the year
  • From going to watching 6 hours of Netflix every day to completing 5 online courses in 2 months
  • From THINKING about trading in the stock market for the past 2 years to actually do it
  • Earning my first bucks

I am really thankful for this lockdown

I am sorry that many of us have had to face many difficulties and have to go through a lot of trouble, but by the grace of God, I haven’t had to go through them.

This story is meant for the people who want to change like I did, especially if you are a teenager, I think you will be able to connect with me. 😊
