Soon after the lockdown people could not think of a live based in home. Everybody was thinking how we could actually be at home and everything will run out smoothly.
For many of us, things were tough and not so smooth, but we had to follow the lockdown most sincerely for our own good. The things and activities that were most common are:
Online classes
All the schools were closed and even now they are not open due to lockdown. The online classes are the only solution to all the little children. They cannot go to school and play with their friends. All they can do is sit before the mobile or laptop and get lessons online. This has been very monotonous for the children but that's the new normal during the lockdown.
OTT And Web series
For entertainment we have to depend on web series and online platforms . No more going out to the PVRs. We have watched films sitting at our home. Though for some it was enjoying but most of us missed the charm of the cinema hall. That big screen and the big dark hall is something we are really missing.
Online shopping
Now no more going out for shopping. From food to medicine all is sent to our doorstep by the online apps. We cannot think of the pros ands cons of online shopping as of now. That's because we cannot go out to market anymore. We have to follow the lockdown rules and moreover no shop is open right now. All the shops are delivering online . So that's the new normal.
Work from home
Most of us had to work from home during the lockdown. And we had to set our businesses on the online platform. Because there's no option left. But there were many people who could not work from home , they faced real problem going out and working. But all of us are not blessed with the โwork from homeโ option. But this is a new normal for many people in the lockdown.
Conference call ,video chat and group chat
This is a common mode of communication for all those who stay abroad or out of the state. But this is the new normal now. We want to see our near and dear ones and we want to hear their voice also. So technology has a solution for us.
Online performances
Now we cannot go out and celebrate different functions or cultural activities. So the best option was to perform live using social media.
Not that we had all the fun of the physical performances but somehow we had to manage with the online activities
