This lockdown period has trapped us all inside our homes and has intended us not to go anywhere, no meetings, no gatherings, no schools no colleges and what not.
Let’s look at 10 such things we all missed during this terrible terrible 1 year.
1. COLLEGE LIFE
Colleges students are just sooo very desperate to go to colleges and meet their friends..Lectures are secondary obviously. Going to the canteen comes next then followed by that one chai Ka tapri jaha poora college jaata hai..Sitting for that one ‘special’ lecture because that teacher is pretty or handsome or just a teaches who is chill all the time. Bina ID ke college me entry milna still stands at first place though.
*This happens when college going girls realise that they cannot sajho dhajo for the convocation/farewell. *
2. WHEN YOUR PARENTS ARE VERRRYYYYY STRICT.
You know tum kuch nahi ukhaad paogee in front of your parents when you ask them ke mummy papa ek Baar bass friends ke sath ghumne do. That is the time when you realise ke ‘MAUT KO TAKK SE CHOO KE WAPIS AA GAYA’ feels. Not to forget Kokilaben types aakhe dikhana which our mothers have mastered.
*You questioning yourself when you receive ‘No’ from your parents, grandparents,watchman, doodh wale bhaiya, aliens and girlfriend but…. Girlfriend hai tumhari?*
3. LOCAL TRAINS
How can we not talk about this…College me aane ke baad trains have been our pehla pyaar. Auntiyo Ka jhagda dekha jisse neend hi khul jaaye bhaisahab..Running train me chadhkar seat pakadna, chalti hui train se utar jana.. listening to songs sitting on the window seat, door ke paas khade reh Kar hawa khana, seat ke liye number lagana…isn’t all of these just truly blissful moments we all miss rn.
*Just by chance when you get the very khaali train of your life’.
4. FRIENDS MEET
It’s been a long time since we’ve met our friends, had a small eye to eye conversation. Since everything is online nowadays..these pretty memories cannot be cherished on zoom meets or Google meets unless it’s when your friend says ke Bhai milte hai Yaar bahot time ho Gaya… that’s when it’s hits you ke haa Yaar kaafi time ho Gaya mile hue..let’s catch up.
*Kab tak seen pe chodoge apne doston ko…milte hai fir wo hi chai ki tapri pe wo hi purani baato ke sath..*
5. SHAADI ME FREE KA KHANA
We don’t even remember me Shaadi me khanae khaaye hue Kitna time ho gaya hai and now is the time when people are attending online shaadis…is that even a thing…matlab Kaha se enjoy karoge free Ka Khana..Kaha se laoge free ka butter chicken, naan aur biryani aur last ki mithai…Kab tak Dal chawal khaoge aur usme hi alag tarike Ka tadka maar maar ke Khush rakhoge..humse naa ho paayega.
*If you know..you know.*
6. GHUMNE KA PLAN
This plan is something Jo banta hai par execute nai hota. Pata Nahi kitne saalo se Goa ke plans bante jaa Rahe hai bante jaa Rahe but no. No idea ke aur kitne ideas banenge aur Kitna ideas Nahi banenge..iss idea Ka bhi Kuch idea Nahi hai..
*You telling your friend on ‘THE DAY’.*
7. STREET FOOD
Iss lockdown ne toh naak me dun Kar rakha hai…Bhai Yaar sham ko bahar jaa ke ek vada pav nai khaa sakte hai Yaar…This Corona bhaisahab naa..Raat ko Dal chawal khaate time you miss street food wala Chinese aur panipuri aur dosa and what not..it’s a big unhygienic but abb kya hi farak padta hai..
*When you just can’t….*
8. NIGHTLIFE
Bass ho Gaye abb online lectures aur work from home…we miss going out at nights and not just for drinks but to enjoy the silence of the night…jao Kabhi marine drive pe and listen to the waves…might be talking to you…
9. INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLING
Mana ke hum garib hai but we’ve seen so many instagram posts of people posting reels and videos ke abb bass jaana hai toh jaana hai…paapi mann Ka sawaal..kab tak wo hi lockdown me chaar deewaro ke beech wo hi online lectures wo hi work from home..
*When you just saw a reel and you realise you have work pending to be complete.*
10. THEATRE
OTT platforms ek taraf bit theatre ki baat hi alag hai…sitting in front of that big screen and watching your favourite movie…popcorn ke baare me sochna bhi mat…300 ke popcorn ki jagah ek aur movie ticket as Jayegi yaar…it’s damn expensive..
It was kaafi exciting in the beginning of the pandemic knowing that you’ll be at your comfort level the whole day, just lounging around and doing nothing…but as time passed you started to realise ke abb bass ho Gaya abb aur nai ho sakta…and this is the time when you want to be yourself at topmost priority..you want to enjoy yourself.
But guess what, we are into another complete lockdown already. All of us feeling ke Yaar abb kya hi bacha hai…
