Not the right time to point fingers
You questioned the lockdowns and cited the economic impact. I firmly believe that lockdowns were relaxed purely because of economic reasons. So, your arguments (there are valid counter arguments as well) were valid.
However, that does not mean that the government should be blamed. Its a crisis that no one was prepared for and steps were taken with the right intent and keeping everyone's interest in mind.
While the situation has worsened drastically in past few weeks, it is still better than many countries. Your assumption is probably unfair that situation would have been similar if strict lockdowns were not imposed.
But while criticizing the lockdowns and urging the government to allow production to resume, did you take 'enough' measures to ensure workforce safety? According to media reports, in one of your plants, 140 employees have tested positive and two have succumbed to COVID19. Now, as per reports, your own workers are asking you to consider the option of shutting the plant!!
It is unfortunate and everyone hopes that the plant keeps buzzing and workers remain safe at the same time.
Hope lessons have been learnt...especially that its not the right time to point fingers.
Help the government, yourself and automotive industry by ensuring workforce safety.
Lockdown makes me really angry. Don't provoke me or I will bite your ass off!!!

Mahabharat Play
Watched Mahabharat, a play from the point-of-view of Duryodhan. Really liked it as I have always understood Duryodhan's perspective. It was tad lengthy but then...Mahabharat is an epic!!! If you get a chance, do watch it!
I was leaving Hyderabad for a weekend trip and did not know where to park my vehicle during that period. I had recently moved to Hyderabad and did not have a safe place to leave my vehicle unattended. I had spent over a month in hotels, service apartments and at the house of a kind friend.
Someone suggested long-term (in my case, just 2.5 days) parking at Hyderabad Airport. I was not comfortable with the idea but wanted to try it out too. Was not a great decision!
As soon as I completed the security check, I started thinking "did I turn off the head light", "did I lock the vehicle", "will the vehicle be safe" and everything bad. This continued for the entire 2.5 days I spent outside Hyderabad and made me miserable.
When I landed in Hyderabad, I was really anxious to reach the vehicle. This smile is what I had on my face after finding my vehicle. Was so relieved. Car was safe. Little dirty though. Took it for a wash immediately afterwards.
Ananya Met Varun Aaron
These pics were taken when we were returning from Udaipur. This is actually at Udaipur airport. While getting into the airport, I noticed some familiar faces. Some Indian cricketers were in the queue. Varun Aaron, Indian fast bowler, was right behind me. I shook hands with him and wished him luck for a comeback in the Indian team. Later we saw Karun Nair, Shreyas Gopal and few other cricketers. They had come to Udaipur to attend Karun Nair's wedding. Ananya did not recognize any one of them but wanted some autographs. Varun Aaron happily obliged and that brought smile on Ananya's face.
A crazy and 'expensive' evening
This was at Prost (Hyderabad). We met up and spent a long time chatting and drinking. When we decided to leave, Khaitan suggested that we should try some shots. And we ended up staying for another hour!!! It was fun. Even the chef came out for a pic with us!
Created a small bar
Always wanted to create a bar or display unit at my place. Considered several bars on sites like Pepperfry, Urban Ladder, HomeTown and also visited several furniture stores. Did not find anything that fit my requirements. An old friend has once shown a bar at her place and I had liked it but when I saw a similar unit, I was not particularly impressed. The unit looked pretty good when all the doors were open but with the doors closed, it looked quite ordinary. Ended up buying a simple display unit. I like this one as it has scope for customization. One a weekend, I would put some lights inside and then it would look even better. For now, I am happy!!

RIP Sushant Singh Rajput
Recently I watched the movie for zillionth time. It is indeed an inspiring story and I watch it quite frequently. But this time, for the first time, I saw Sushant Singh Rajput in the movie. Every other time, I saw Dhoni...this time I saw the actor. And from here on....this movie would always be about Sushant Singh Rajput. RIP Sushant.
