A Quaran-teen's routine.
‘Quarantine’ is like an influential, though a controversial youtuber. She’s all over the news, everyone knows her, everyone talks about her. She’s been here only for sometime yet it feels like you’ve known her for almost an eternity. Some people like her, some people don’t. Some people despise her so much that they go an extra mile just to contradict her. Poor thing. Afterall she’s the reason why you don’t have to wake up early, walk through dirty lanes, travel in crowded vehicles, endure the overwhelming noise pollution, deal with traffic and what not! She’s like a blessing in disguise, granting you what you wanted all this while. A chance to take a step back and relax.
Instead of waking to alarms you must be now waking up to your mom’s outbursts of how much of a disappointment you’re. Greet her too with a “good morning” and a kiss on the forehead while she rants about the fact that it’s already afternoon. Start your day by going to the balcony and looking into the outside world, not to admire the view but to make sure that people (who shouldn’t be there) aren’t roaming on the streets. Think of yourself as the protector of the world. Stop them. Stop them because a lot of people are working really hard to save the very people who are disobeying the law. Now you must be wondering how you could do so. Firstly, try shouting out as politely as you can to ask them why they are outside. If they reply with “I was bored, so I’m going for a drive”,‘yeet’ those water balloons on them. Make it a family game. The one who gets the most strikes wins.
March over to your kitchen, and just observe whoever is cooking. Get to know the pulses, the spices, try to understand how each one of them is unique in their own way. Do not and I repeat do not ever say “but mom, they all look the same!” It’s offensive. Everything on the kitchen shelves have their own names, their own identities, their own preparation times. It’s a labyrinth but it’s worth it when you have finessed the art of cooking. Offer your novice self to your parents, propose some jobs that you could do to help them. They’d be flattered but little do they know that you’re only doing this so that you don’t have to live on take-aways and instant noodles later in life. A win-win situation! Also, while you’re at it you could rename a few dishes, and serve them by saying that you’ve mixed poison in them. Team up with your sibling/s and prank your folks!
I’m sure your privacy must be greatly affected by the constant interaction with the same people everyday leading to annoyance, frustration and a desire to murder. And no, watching “How to get away with a murder” won’t help. Instead you could learn a language! Just imagine harping about everything that’s bothering you to an audience that is patiently listening to you. The fact that you’re complaining about them to them in another language makes it so much better. It’s cathartic. As they will have no clue about what you’re saying, you could easily pull this off! And even if they are suspicious, you can always blame the good ol’ “the site from where I learned this must be unreliable”. If this excuse doesn't work then don't worry, you'll no longer have to care about how to spend your time :)
P.S. Please don't waste water on those morons, if you can think of a better way to deal with them let me know.

Quarantine is the girl everyone wants but the difference isthat the people who wanted her dont value its presence and the people who needed her know her value of her presence.😁
