“Thirty days into the lockdown and I was discovering things about myself. It is not a coming-to-terms so much as a revelation. I was not aware of my talent.

During the lockdown, I learned about my cooking skills when my wife fell sick, and I had to cook. I was nervous about how the food would turn out. I took a spatula in one hand, phone in the other, and started cooking by following recipes on YouTube. To my surprise, the food turned out well and was quite delicious, though the kitchen got a little dirty. If it weren’t for this lockdown, I wouldn’t be able to discover my hidden talent for cooking. Now I cook new and unique dishes for my wife at least once a week.”
