Le Covid-19, apparu en novembre dernier à Wuhan, a entrainé le confinement de plus de la moitié de la population mondiale. Ainsi, en mai 2020, 4,6 milliards de personnes étaient contraintes à l’isolement au sein de leur domicile.

Cette situation est pour le moins inédite. Des pandémies, le monde en a connues de nombreuses (peste noire, grippe espagnole, grippe aviaire, VIH etc.) mais elles n’ont jamais eu pour conséquence la mise en quarantaine de la majeure partie de l’Humanité.

Le confinement, comme on a, à présent, l’habitude de le surnommer, a eu de nombreuses conséquences néfastes. Cependant, si beaucoup ont…

Le confinement est terminé ! Vous trépignez d’impatience de retrouver votre « vie d’avant » ! Cette vie vous allez certainement la retrouver mais toujours dans le respect des gestes barrières. ;)

Nous avons sélectionné 3 activités dans Paris qui vous ont certainement manquées en cette longue période de confinement…

CULTIVEZ VOUS !

Les petits musées ouvrent lentement dans la capitale, l’occasion de visiter ces musées souvent oubliés des circuits touristiques.

Et si vous vous rendiez le Musée Jacquemart-André ! Situé au 158 Boulevard Haussman, ce musée voit le jour au XIXeme siècle grâce à Edouard André, riche politicien et collectionneur et Nélie…

Paris is a great city, with countless things to see and do. It's the City of Light, it's the City of Love! Thomas Jefferson once said, "A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life". I will never tell anyone to not visit Paris and see all the stunning attractions. So definitely go and visit the Louvre, take a pic in front of the Eiffel Tower and do all the other things that you find interesting.

But sometimes you might crave for a break, an escape from the beautiful but ever so busy…

Don’t know what to doooo…

Don’t know what to doooo…

Can’t decide what’s right for me,

ain’t a little happiness…

enough for me?

Who is it that knocked on the door?
What is it that I want more?

Can’t get out of my bed,

as I’m sinking in and scrolling down

all my passions, I’m scrolling down
all my interests, I’m scrolling down,

don’t know when I’m gonna be
the talk of the town!

Don’t know what to doooo…

Don’t know what to doooo…

The COVID-19 induced confinement has slowed down our life to some extent. We have gotten time to introspect, and to notice things which earlier escaped our attention.

Fashion may not be on top of your mind right now. But consider this: Fashion accounts for around 10% of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, and nearly 20% of waste water! To produce a pair of jeans made of cotton, we need to use 10 kg of it. To be able to grow cotton, we need to use approximately 7,500–10,000 litres of water. It’s about 10 years of drinking water for one…

As of April 2020, more than 4 billion people in more than 90 countries are under confinement. That’s almost half of the world’s population, ordered to stay home! With the world entering a critical moment in response to the exponentially growing coronavirus pandemic, a ‘new normal’ has emerged — quarantine, social distancing and isolation.

However, COVID-19 is not the only threat we should be worried about.

Loneliness: A Lesser Evil Without A Cure

Increased social isolation can take a heavy toll on the strongest of minds and bodies. The whole world is waiting for that elusive vaccine for COVID-19, but…

Justin Bariso, the author of ‘EQ Applied: The Real World Guide To Emotional Intelligence’, coined the word JOMO — the joy of missing out.

While it is an interesting solution to the current FOMO that plagues our social media experience, it is still only a temporary solution. JOMO is a good start because it allows us to be comfortable with who we are and what we have. Mutual isolation has its benefits in this new-age digital world, but it is not sustainable. …

IS IT JUST ME?

It’s 2:13 am.

If it were 2006, I would have been on Orkut this time.

Lurking in the empty lanes of the Harry Potter forum.
Finding strangers to befriend.

Looking for free testimonials.
Trusting a few with my yahoo ID.

Hosting a conference chat on yahoo just to send everyone my favourite ‘audibles’.
Spending some time in the 20 Singles Chatroom.

Then, to hotmail chat.

Then, to Omegle (a rare find!)

ASL?

21 m bye.

However, it’s the year 2020, and at 2:13 am, I am looking at my friend’s holiday pictures on Instagram and feeling…
