The novel Covid-19 is a highly contagious disease. As the world came together to stop the spread of the virus, social distancing became the new normal. We all stayed confined in the comfort of our four walls. But, that was not the solution. The global economy was affected adversely. Even if the virus is not contained, the lockdown rules need to be curbed. We need to start living a normal life with regular activities.
But, will it be as normal as before? Well, we have our doubts. Some changes will be incorporated in our daily lives in the post-Covid-19 era. Let's have a look at them.
- Food habits:
People have realised the importance of staying fit. It is widely accepted that our health depends on our food habits. We need to abstain from junk food. No matter how deliciously tasty are burgers and french fries, we must steer clear of them completely from our diet. Include more portions of fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables in our meals. They would nourish us with the required vitamins and nutrients. Thus, we would attain strength. Consequently our immunity would improve. These foods would provide the required immunity to ward off any diseases. Do not indulge in cheat days during a vacation either. During your Delhi trip, request the receptionist for a kitchenette room and cook your own meals. As you would interact with the local vendors to buy fruits and vegetables, you might get to know about more offbeat tourist attractions. The guidebooks fail to cover every single point. When you wake up in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Dwarka or any other place, cook your meals for the day and pack them along.
2. Stay Hydrated:
Another major healthiness factor is staying properly hydrated. Adequate intake of fluids is important for the proper function of all the organs. Once all the systems function appropriately, we would be strong enough to fight against all kinds of diseases. Now now, you must steer clear of carbonated drinks and alcohol. Plain drinking water is the healthiest. If not, you can indulge in fruit juices, at max. Packaged drinking water bottles pose a major threat of spreading the virus. Do not forget to carry your own water bottle and refill it when required. It is healthy, affordable and safe. During your Delhi vacation, when you leave one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Paharganj or any other place, remember to fill your water bottle for the day.
3. Remote working culture:
The self-isolation periods have proved that we can work remotely from the comforts of our homes. The information technology infrastructure is currently reliable enough to conduct all our work. Thus, many companies are considering the promotion of the work from home culture. It is beneficial for both the employees and the employers. Hence, it is understandable that even after the lockdown norms are curbed the preference to work from home might persist. This culture is beneficial for your vacations as well. You can stay in dayuse hotels by the hour to complete your office work and explore the place at other times. Say you are on a trip to Delhi, stay in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Aerocity or any other place and complete your office work remotely. After completing your required tasks, you can explore the beauties of the city.
4. Transportation costs would rise:
The novel coronavirus has affected the travel habits. All the public transports are sparsely populated. Earlier they were over-crowded. The rates were also less as economies of scale managed the expenses. But, as fewer people use the public transports, the rates would have to increase to make up for the cost. From auto-rickshaws to aeroplanes, there is a surge in fares. The price-hike is here to stay and would soon become the new normal. It would have an overall effect on the economy. Hence, it is wise to avoid booking a hotel for the entire stay during a vacation. Book and stay in a nearby hotel by the hour as you explore the place from one area to the other. Thus, you would save up on cost and travel in a comparatively pocket-friendly budget. During your trip to Delhi, you must splurge in Chandni Chowk. After shopping to your heart's content retire in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels near Chandni Chowk.
5. Meditation:
We are sure you must have been planning to practise meditation for a long while. But, never managed to incorporate it in your routine, right? The schedule was hectic and all, right? You must have had to do all your household chores and we often devote more time to office work while working from home. Even in the midst of all the hectic schedule you must take out time to meditate. As self-isolation can take a toll on our mental health, meditation would help us de-stress and stay cheerful. Once you incorporate it in your routine, practice it even after the lockdown is curbed. Do not skip it, even during your vacations. So, during your trip to Mumbai, meditate after waking up in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Mumbai. It would give a fresh start to your day. As you would have mental peace you would be able to enjoy the beauty of nature better.
6. Virtual Classroom:
Online courses have gained in prominence. Whether it is a virtual live classroom over video conference or interactive video sessions, the online classes are here to stay. Earlier people were sceptical of screen-time. There was always a Cinderella hour associated with the usage of electronic gadgets. But now, they have become a part and parcel of life with the the strict lockdown rules. You can access your courses from anywhere and anytime. So, do not skip your learning during a vacation. During your Kolkata trip, remember to complete at least a lesson before falling off to sleep in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Kolkata.
There are many more changes that would take place as an effect of the lockdown. The above list names just some of them. You must also improve your diet by including immunity-boosting foods to stay fit and away from all diseases.
Stay safe and this too shall pass. Have faith and take care.
