COVID-19 is a bigger threat to humanity. It made humans very conscious about human existence and basic necessity of things. It gave us a chance to think about ourselves, our family and our environment. It made us conscious about the basic nature of things. What we need today is a peaceful mind and a happy heart. So that we can live our life with satisfaction and enjoyment.
Home Quarantine gave us the time to work on ourselves. It made us realize about small things we have in life and we must treat ourselves lucky for what we have. We must be grateful for small things. I utilized this time in attending webinars, courses, reading and writing as well as work on my projects pending for several years. And here is the product of all this:
