The Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown to contain further spread has taken a toll on mankind. Being confined at homes for so many days is what no one imagined in their wildest dreams. People are waiting with their bated breath to get past these dark days. However, it seems like we have to wait for more days for the lockdown to get lifted.
