Keeping in view the current situation and the world generally and in Pakistan particularly, there are three countries in who faced the alarming situation of COVID-19, firstly, Chania, where thousands of people were the victims of COVID -19 and even thousands of them died, secondly, Italy and in the last Iran which faced such situation. For Pakistan, it is the situation where we can learn from the experiences of other countries how to face this dangerous situation and what mistakes were done by them, the same should not be done by us. Otherwise, we will have to face huge destruction. 


This is a global health emergency and everybody needs to act responsibly and help save lives. To stay at home is the first and foremost duty of every citizen.

We are to admit the current circumstances and decide intentionally for cooping this alarming situation with positive thinking.

The current situation is a great opportunity for leisure. Here are some good points to keep in mind and do at the earnest during this lockdown:

Spending time with family:
 Spending time with family has ever been a pleasure for every one of us but we cannot do the same due to our routine business, work schedule and tight daily routine, these days provide us the opportunity to spend more time with children. You can even teach them and later they are to google the topic on their own to enhance the information. 

Changing oneself:
The current situation is uncertain, no one knows when the educational and business activities are to be restored. Everyone is at home, now a day, and remaining free for a long time can destroy our personality: so it is needed for the hour to be indulged in positive activities. You should make a clear routine of eating, sleeping and taking rest. 



Pondering:
A pondering mind ultimately leads a human towards success. Being a Muslim, the Prayer has been mentioned for 786 times, but the number of pondering on things and nature is more than that.  During the restriction of traveling due to the Lockdown, you cannot move out but you have the freedom to think and find your inner self capabilities and improve them more and more.



Learning:
The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you, as the current situation allows you for plenty of time which you can spend on learning. You are free to read books, it does not mean that you are bound to read the printed books but you can download the PDF books of your interest and read them with pleasure. I am doing the same now a day although I have been doing it for many years already. Google is a great assistant available during this era. Discussing the books is still the step forward if the other members at home are keen and show their interest too.  


Checking the old things:
All of us keep our things including books, notes and other material with care and love in the home, and sometimes forget them where they are. It is time to rearrange all these things and get benefit from them.




Worshiping:
It is a great opportunity for you to indulge yourself in worshiping as the relationship between human and Allah needs renewal always. Offer the prayers with more concentration, recite the Holy Quran or the books as per your religion, and practice the meditation which will ultimately provide the mental peace.




Self-Accountability
Analyze your habits, one was the routine which was in progress before the Lockdown and the other one is now which is continued now a day. You are to look back into those habits which proved harmful to you and those which were beneficial for you. You are to live not only for you but also for the others as well. Do not repeat the mistakes already committed b you in the past. The current days are a great opportunity for you to enhance your life, make better relationships within the family including the spouse and children.   



Last and the important is to stay home, avoid crowded places, wash your hands, keep your distance, go easy, step lightly, stay safe. All this is not a joke at all.
