Quarantine The New Normal

It was December 2019 when Covid19 started in China, We started reading about it from January 2020. Till that time we were not thinking that it will become a Pandemic and would change our lives.
Initially, I too thought that it would be controlled and there is nothing much to worry but with the passage of time things changed and whatever happened was not imagined as the wildest dream ever.

The fear, anxiety, uncertainty were enough to make anyone feel low and depressed.
I too felt depressed initially but then understood that "This is the Situation now "
This is "The New Normal " and now we have to mentally prepare ourselves to handle this situation and keep ourselves happy in this tough time.

I would like to thank Mayank for introducing me to this blog train.
Sharing my experiences in this quarantine period.

The thing that affected our day to day life :

1. Controlling kids screen time
Kids stay at home during vacation but suddenly schools getting closed and kids at home with a situation that we can not allow them to go out to play or allow them to visit anyone's house is a difficult task for parents ( especially when you have small kids at home )
To keep them engaged and also to control their screen time was not easy.
Like other moms, I tried my best to do that

* Asked them to help me a bit in daily chores
* Asked them to do some activities like DIY's, Paintings, etc
* Asked them to study Arabic in their free time

Still, it's not easy as they feel bored and want to go out.

2. Absence of  Maid
I know for ones who are staying abroad not having a maid is not a big thing but here in India, we have the facility of getting a maid to help us in daily chores.
When the lockdown was declared I gave a paid leave to my maid like others and now doing everything myself ( Which made me more exhausted than before) Especially during the Summer Vacation time which is meant to relax.
 Initially, this made me too upset but again understanding the situation it's Okay :)

3. Not being able to go out

I never thought that there would be a Time where going out will be so difficult but this happened.
I am missing my Morning Walks ( Something which I am missing badly )
Though I see many are doing during the lockdown period also, I didn't.

Then going out to a Superstore to do basic grocery shopping will be so difficult as one needs to stand in a queue for a long then back home sanitize everything.

Now ordering everything online as that's easier.

4.Visiting Relatives and Friends place

Visiting relatives or friends' houses during weekends was a normal thing but not now.
Especially when we didn't go anywhere this Eid, it looked so bad ( But again this is the New Normal)
Connecting via Whatsapp or Video calls is Okay but once gets tired of spending so much time of net and it cannot give that feeling when you meet someone in person.

5. Tight Financial Situation 
Many have lost their jobs, some are not getting Salary, huge loss to business owners.
This is a tough time for all. People are careful in their expenditure and want to save money.
But think of the ones who are not able to get three meals a day.
So we need to offer and help such who are in need.


These are the normal Challenges which everyone is facing.
It's affecting mental health also as people getting bored, depressed.

But on a bigger scale, I Thank Almighty for all the Blessing we have.

This Pandemic Situation and Quarantine period also taught us many good things :)

1. Value What we have 

Having a house, getting three meals a day, and being with your family is a blessing from Almighty.

News of migrant laborers made us cry.
People dying of hunger, dying while trying to reach their native.
That made all of us realize the importance of what we have.
Importance of food we are getting, the importance of our Jobs, House, Savings.

We are lucky to have all these.

2. Humanity 

We have seen many individuals and organizations, NGO's helping the poor and needy.
Ration kits being distributed to needy ones.
People like Sonu Sood doing a fabulous job of helping migrant laborers to reach their home.

Insaniyat Abhi Zinda hai Khatam nahi hui 

( Humanity is still alive )

3. Evolving as a better person

It's said that trials and challenges make you stronger and it's true.
We have emerged as a better person now :)

* No wastage of food or any other resources.
* Value life and Value all your blessings.
* More considerate towards others.
* No fancy shopping or wasting money on unnecessary things.
* No hue and cry over small things ( there are bigger issues in life )

4. More Health Conscious 

Past two months we all are used to have a home-cooked meal
That's good in many ways :)
We are eating healthy now and many have upgraded their cooking skills :)
( Economical on the pocket too )

We are taking more care of our health to improve our immunity and be healthy.
This is something which was needed badly as because of our hectic lifestyle and habit of eating outside frequently it was missed.


5. Family Members staying together and working together

We have heard and read a concept of  #ShareTheLoad 
but that was not followed in all households.
Thankfully because of this quarantine now it is getting implemented.
Whereas we can see husband's and kids also doing daily chores :)
I could not stop my laughter when I saw many Influencers posting Videos and Pics of their husbands doing household chores on social media especially Instagram :)

At my home now hubby helping me in Kitchen and kids doing baking :)

And there was a mad race of a hectic lifestyle
Now couples do have time to spend with each other.
Parents can spend quality time with their kids :)

Moral Learned :
Stay positive
Take care of yourself and your Near & Dear ones
Help the ones you are able to help especially poor and needy
Pray so that things get normal

Till things get back to normal  Stay at Home and Stay Safe.
When outside use Mask & Sanitizer.

Share The Load To Bond With Your Loved Ones

Past two and a half months we all are at home because of  Lockdown and this Self Quarantine has changed our lives.
Not being able to go out, not having any outing, and lots of other issues and problems.
Every adverse situation has something to teach us, it makes us stronger and wiser.
Same in this quarantine situation.
All at home ( hubby and kids) and maids are given leaves, so the work pressure and responsibility of Moms & Homemakers have increased many folds.

( Image source: Google ) 

At my home, I gave paid leave to my maid long back when the first lockdown was declared.
Than mentally prepared myself that now I have to do everything. Cleaning, Cooking, Laundry, etc.

These all are time-consuming works which make one exhausted.
But no other option.

Within a week I felt sick and tired.
Then hubby said Lets Divide the work, It's not good that you should everything.
Then he made few rules for kids :)
That they need to help me with daily chores, either cleaning the house or arranging the table for meals, Cleaning & arranging their wardrobes, etc.
Work was divided and I felt happy that now all are behaving responsibly.

Hubby doing his laundry himself.
Then on weekends, he cooks something for the family, either lunch or some sweet dishes.

So this all came as a sweet surprise to me that now all are taking part in daily chores and more important behaving responsibly.
Not leaving everything for Mom or Maid as earlier it was.

In fact, my kids started trying new recipes and they are good at baking now.
They have learned to bake cakes & cookies.

Then gradually they also started preparing their breakfasts.
A simple menu like Bread Omelet or Pancakes are regular at my house now :)

My birthday was in April.
Since this time it was not possible to go out, my kids planned a simple birthday party at home.
They told a day before that Mama tomorrow you won't work, we will do everything :)
Next morning when I woke up was surprised to see that my Son has prepared my breakfast :)
A simple bread omelet ( heart-shaped omelet ) with a note :)

That made me feel so happy and proud.
That now my son can also cook and he is so concerned that Mama should take rest on her birthday and should not work so much as she usually does :)

Later on, my daughters baked a cake for me and presented it to me with a hand made card.
This will be a memorable birthday for me.

Now when I am not well, I am not tensed about daily chores and meals, I know hubby and kids will manage :)
( This is a relaxing thing for a busy mom like me )

My Son even prepares Tea for me :)

Staying together, Working together, Cooking together has helped to have quality family time.
Something which was missing because of our hectic schedules.

Now we are able to spend quality time together.
So this quarantine time has taught us to be more responsible and value all we have.

When the workload is shared by all family members, bonding increases.
So by sharing the load we multiply the love :)

Ariel India had initiated this #ShareTheLoad Campaign long back
wherein male members of the family were asked to share the workload at home.
Helping females in daily chores.
And doing laundry is not rocket science in the era when we have the facility of using a Washing Machine.
Even kids can do it.
I have asked my kids to do their laundry themselves.

One can watch this lovely video from Ariel

#ShareTheLoad
#ShareTheLaundry
#ShareChoresMultiplyLove

My Husband & Son are now sharing my load :)
From them
I will #ShareTheLoad and help in household chores in association with Ariel India and  Blog Adda

I watched all episodes and would recommend others
to watch it who like to see light comedy and family
Drama.

2.  Shehr E Zaat 

This is an Urdu Romantic Drama starring famous
Mahira Khan and Mikaal Zulfiqar. 

Falak ( Mahira Khan ) was a daydreamer and only
child of rich parents.

of a man of her dreams. She finds Salman(Mikaal
Zulfiqar) matching her sculpture and she gets married
to him.But sadly was not treated well by her husband.

So this is a kind of Spiritual Love Story. 

Sounds interesting and different, watch it :)

This is a family drama starring Savera Nadeem as
Zubeida and Noman Ejaz as Farman.

Zubeida plays the role of badi aapa ( elder sister),

Zubeida and Ghazanfar loved each other before

Starcast: Fahad Mustafa as Adal Soomro 

Mehreen Raheel as Aaleen ( Second wife of Adal ) 

Sajal Ali as Suhaai ( First wife of Adal ) 

I have watched some episodes of this Drama,
which was interesting as Mehreen first dated
an old man then fell in love with Adal and married him.

Adal is trying to balance his relationship with both his
wives.

Yet to see till the end to know what was the ending.

Do watch it out :) 

5. Noorpur Ki Rani 

This story is about a poor girl Noorie (Played by
Sanam Balooch) who accidentally lands into a
rich palace which has an old man and his daughter
after a little hesitant Noorie was accepted by them
and is given good care in terms of education and
manners. 

Now, this makes an interesting plot and I would like to
watch this :) 

6. Main Abdul Qadeer Hoon 

Main Abdul Qadeer Hoon is the story of a boy Abdul Qadeer ( Fahad Mustafa ).

He is an obedient son but his parents are too busy in their own lives.

He befriends a girl in neighborhood Zareen ( Alishaba Yusuf ) who is a spoilt and fast girl and he gets into smoking and drinking. After which he was sent to England by his mom.

There his life changes a lot and he was inclined towards religion and now wants to be a religious scholar. When he returned to his homeland he was a changed person with a cap and beard.

His mom was surprised to see this and after some twist and turns finally, he got married to Zareen .

Wonderful Experience At Food Hunt Cum Bloggers Event by MPOC

On 10th January 2020, we had a Blogger Event here in Hyderabad by MPOC
( Malaysian Palm Oil Council).
I was happy to get the invitation and was looking forward to have some great time there.
And yes to my expectation it was a wonderful event with some great insight about Malaysian Palm oil council, details about the benefits of Palm oil and the most interesting part was Food Hunt event:)
So in this post, I will share all the details.

After Meet and Greet with fellow bloggers and Organizers, got a chance to meet Bhavna Vyas Shah
Country head of MPOC( India & Sri Lanka)

She shared details about the benefits of palm oil, its usage, health benefits, etc.

What I learned from the session is :

* Palm oil is widely used in many sectors or industries like Food, Cosmetics, Pharmacy, Animal feed, BioFuel & Energy.
* Indirectly we are consuming it for long but we are not aware of it.
Since it is used in Personal care products, Cosmetics, and Food industry we are consuming it but were not knowing about it.
* There are many myths surrounding Palm oil and the session was to clear all such myths and doubts.
* It has numerous health benefits but people are not aware of it.
* Since in India depending upon region and taste people are more used to prefer oils like Mustard, Coconut but for a large population like in India, we need more oils which are affordable and good for health and Palm oil is a solution for this.
* It provides food security as Plantation of Palm tree requires less land, fewer fertilizers.
so more oil is produced in less land.

Health benefits of Palm Oil:

* Palm oil is a nutritious oil rich in Vitamin A, D, E, K.
* Its free of Trans Fat.
* Palm oil is rich in Vitamin E which is a powerful anti-oxidant
  capable of reducing harmful radicals in the body.
* Palm oil also contains Carotenoids which helps to strengthen the body's immune system.
* Palm oil reduces the risk of heart diseases as it lowers bad cholesterol in the body and increases good cholesterol.
* It helps to increase the absorption of Vitamin A in the body in people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.
* It increases metabolism, thus helps in weight management.


Apart from learning all these, there was an interesting Food Hunt Event organized for bloggers.
Bloggers were divided into 5 teams, each having 3 bloggers.
We were given some Clue cards using which we have to find a clue to find our next destination( a restaurant nearby)
It was fun and we all rushed to reach there first, Upon reaching the first destination which was 10AsiaKitchen ( A restaurant In Jubilee Hills Area Hyderabad) we had to mix Icecream, Fererro Rocher Chocolate, Biscuits, Nutella together and eat it fast to get the next clue card. From there we ran to Tikki Shak, a restaurant on the other side of the road. where we had to fill a questionnaire which had some question on Palm oil :)
Once that was done we got the next clue card which took us to the third restaurant Eat India Company where we had to do blindfold tasting :)
A mixed veg curry was served and we had to taste it and name ingredients in it.
This was fun and we guessed right :)
The Next destination was  Urban Asia restaurant where we had to prepare a Salad using Palm oil.
We got some Veggies, dressings and palm oil. All team prepared their Salad and was served to Chef who gave points and again we ran back to our original destination where the event was organized ( Smoky Pitara)
It was all fun and was a totally different kind of experience for me:)
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

At 10AsiaKitchen we were given IceCream, Chocolate, Biscuits, Nutella.
Chocolate was Fererro Rocher
All of these contain palm oil.
Since palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature it gives baked goods creamy texture, so used in the preparation of ice creams chocolates, biscuits, cookies, etc.

At UrbanAsia restaurant we had to prepare Salad using Palm oil.
We mixed some veggies like Cabbage leaves, Tomato, Broccoli, Black Olives
Seasoned it with Red Chilli Flakes, Salt, Black pepper, White Vinegar, Honey, and one teaspoon palm oil.
It turned out good with nice flavor and taste.
Palm oil can be used for Salad Dressing and it provides food flavor and texture to the salad.

The winning team was one whose Salad was best and was liked by Chef :)

After these all we had photoshoots and Lunch.

So this was a wonderful experience for me, knowing details about Palm oil and be a part of the Food Hunt event.

The main source of palm oil is the Elaeis guineensis tree which is a native of South West Africa.
In recent years palm oil production has increased in countries like Malaysia & Indonesia.

Unrefined Palm oil is also called as Red Palm oil because of its reddish-orange color.

Palm oil is one of the least expensive and most popular oil worldwide.

* It is stable at high temperatures so good for deep frying.

14 gms of palm oil contains 114 calories.

How palm oil helps in food Security :
Production of palm oil needs less land, fewer fertilizers, fewer pesticide.
So more oil is produced in less land.
Palm oil needs only 5% of land to produce 38 % of the cooking oil worldwide.
With the increasing demand for cooking oil worldwide palm oil is a good option.
And it's affordable too.

Palm oil also generates revenue worth billions of dollars and is estimated to employ 6 million people globally which is too good.




Palm Oil and Its Many Uses :
There are various uses of palm oil :

* Consumer retail food and snack manufacturer.

Since palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature it gives baked goods creamy texture.
It is added to both frozen and fresh pizza dough to stop it from sticking together and to enhance texture. So Palm oil is used in the manufacture of Cookies and other bakery products.

* Personal care and cosmetics ( for this palm kernel oil is used)

Palm oil is used as a conditioning agent that helps to restore natural oils of hair that are stripped away by most of the shampoos.
Palm oil is also used in Lipsticks as it holds the color well. Doesn't melts at high temperature and has a smooth application.

* Pharmaceutical

It is also used to treat high blood pressure, high Cholesterol, dementia.

* BioFuel & Energy

Palm oil can be used to prepare Bio-Oil and Bio Diesel.

Is Palm success it's greatest enemy?
Since palm is more affordable than many other oils, its competitors raise a question on its goodness, health benefits or problems, etc.
The Malaysian Palm oil industry is a highly regulated industry and has adhered to more than 15 laws and regulations regarding Palm oil Industry. The industry and it's R&D arm is continuously working to improve the industries' environmental performance.
Various approaches and technologies aimed to reduce the impact of the industry on the environment have been converted to successful practices in palm oil plantations, mills, refineries, etc.

The palm tree is unique in the way that they have a higher leaf area index which allows them to have better photosynthesis which means more oxygen, which is good for the environment.

My Trust in Almighty Keeps Me Going

Life is not a bed of roses, it has thorns too and this proverb is so true and relatable.
We all have seen ups and down's in life. We had have tasted success and have seen failures too.
When we are successful, we are happy and life seems good but with struggles, failures, and heartbreaks we get depressed and lose hope in anything ( that's wrong ).

We should never lose hope as NOTHING STAYS FOREVER, NOT EVEN THE TOUGH TIME.
It changes as season changes, the day becomes night and vice versa.
So we need to stay strong during tough times.
I know at times it's difficult but we have to.

Like others, I have also tasted success and failure both ( In Professional life as well as in Personal life and relationships )
I have gone through acute depression and there were some situations which broke me from inside but by the grace of Almighty, I survived :)
I do not want to discuss my problems and pain but would like to share How I managed all :)

MY STRENGTH IS MY COMPLETE TRUST IN ALMIGHTY ALLAH.

This is with me from a very young age, the age when I was not knowing much about religion or any other thing. From that time, I strongly believed that Allah is always with me and He will take care of everything, I just need to do my work and pray ( pray for whatever I want ).

And My Trust in Almighty Allah keeps me going in any situation ( good or bad )
When I am happy, I thank Allah for all His blessings :)
Success never made me mad.

When I have gone through tough times, I took it as a challenge of my life, which helped me to be stronger and taught me a few lessons of life.
I survived because of my faith in almighty that He will take care of everything and things will be better and the situation will change and with the passage of time, everything will fall in place.

I believe in working hard and believe in working to keep myself busy and engaged and not wasting my time thinking about bad memories and bad people.

We have a bad habit of recalling bad memories which becomes toxic and we feel suffocated, better LET IT GO.
( Let it go what's bothering you )

Let it go for our own benefit.

As we cleanse our bodies, we also need to cleanse our minds and heart.
FORGET & FORGIVE actually helps a lot.

We can take it in this way as We are responsible for our deeds not for others.
So if someone is doing bad with us, it's their KARMA, not ours.
And believe me KARMA RETURNS :)

If you do good with others, Universe will return it to you in a beautiful way ( That's Almighty's Blessing )

Similarly, the ones who are doing bad with others will get it back in some way or another.
So we should stop thinking about all those negative stuff and focus on all the good things in our lives.

I think this way and keep myself busy with my work.
Try to spread positivity and smile everywhere :)
( As I know this will return in a good way )

This is my way of handling any situation in my life and this is what I have taught to my kids :)

So my dear Readers & Friends
Be Happy
Be Strong
Do Good with others
Stop Overthinking
Enjoy small moments of your life

6. Now relax and wait for your payment which is done in a maximum of 15 days. 

How good is that :) 

I registered at My Money some three months back and have participated in various campaigns from different brands.

I enjoyed participating in those campaigns and being a blogger it was a good exposure to me.

Payments are done on time and I am receiving payments on my Paytm account.

One can also opt for bank transfer.

So this is a good way for bloggers as well as SAHM to participate in various online campaigns and earn money. 

This is a kind of Work from home which many moms prefer to do. 

One gets a chance to try new launches, participate in campaigns from famous brands and be a part of social cause. 

So do check this website and its My Money App and start participating in campaigns.
