The Lockdown Diary: Aditya Seal

The coronavirus lockdown in the country has taken a toll on people, where many of us are missing our friends, spending time out at our favourite places, eating at favourite joints and a lot more. The news reports which are released these days about this deadly virus, do raise concerns but have also changed the way we use to see life, every day.

Amidst these tough times, Mumbai Live reached out to Aditya Seal to understand what he has been doing in this phase and what he desperately wants to do once the lockdown is over. Here's what he said...

1. Describe your 'lockdown' period in just 'one' word:

• Self-reflective

2. What do you enjoy the most about this period - something you will cherish the most!

• It's a once in a lifetime occurrence that you cant step out of the house or you may not return - feels like I am living in a movie. It's just the entire experience that I will remember forever 

3. What new hobbies have you started in this period?

• Well, I have started playing the guitar now and definitely will carry on

4. Three films/web series/content pieces you've loved watching?

• Tiger King
• Money Heist
• The Test

5. What do you miss eating or drinking the most?

• Pizza

6. Three friends who you miss spending time with...

• Anushka and a couple of my college friends - we had a pact of meeting at least 2-3 times a week, but we obviously would end up meeting 5-6 times

7. What's the one skill you did not know you had?

• I have discovered ki 'main jhaadu bahut acha maarta hoon.'

8. Three places you'll rush to, right after the lockdown is over...

• Pizza joint
• Hair salon
• McDonald's

9. What is the most annoying thing you've observed during this period?

• ...that idiots are still out assembling in groups

10. What has the lockdown helped you change or realise - emotionally or mentally?

• The biggest realisation has been that there are some evil people living that probably need to be wiped out for the betterment of the world. I will not agree to any other conclusion that the fact that this virus was developed and spread for gains. It's sad that money has been given more importance than human life, and it's not affecting just us, but the generation to follow as well. There will be a time when people with different ideologies will take over and that's the time the world will be at peace.
