We, officially the \u2018work from home nerds,\u2019 have stuck to our rooms for most of the time since 2020. Some might have planned a holiday during the two Covid peaks; others were deprived of this too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the most part, I belonged to the latter category, except for a day or two that I managed to meet some friends. But nothing after April 2021. I know this is a drastic difference of routine from the pre- Covid era and could be frustrating. Now, one of my friends is bent upon taking a break and wants me to accompany her. Though I\u2019ve already talked her out of her fabulous trip plan, she is still stuck on visiting a fancy place for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.in\/Restaurants-g297596-Chandigarh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dinner in Chandigarh<\/a>. I\u2019ve been avoiding her since..<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">All this has created a mess in my head. On the one hand, where it doesn\u2019t feel good to shun her, I have a cloud of thoughts haunting me on the other side. Is it too soon to start roaming around? Nothing is gonna happen; when others are going, why can\u2019t you? But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imanet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IMA <\/a>recently warned us about an upcoming third wave? So what, it is impending, not yet here? What if the restaurant we visit is not hygienic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/blog\/top-5-benefits-of-fogging-with-hocl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disinfected properly<\/a>? And it continues..<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These fears seem unreasonable to some extent but cannot be entirely ignored considering what our country has come through and what still hovers us. It is not my contracting the disease that really perturbs me. The infection that I may carry along is the real botheration. A day\u2019s fun could become a spreader of the virus for my family and others (who are taking ample precautions and avoiding outside food).<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I know she\u2019ll finally trick me into going to the eatery of her choice; I just hope it is safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been in a dilemma lately.
