The Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Wednesday - urging the nation to observe March 22 as ‘Janta Curfew’. Such measures are critical in the current times of Coronavirus where people are maintaining social distancing and spending maximum time indoors.
While businesses across the country have been implementing work-from-home policies in the last few weeks, it is also important for everyone to make most of their family time during the Janta Curfew. Here are top 5 things you can do at home, not just to pass time but also to develop new skills!

Nothing beats good food when trying to get the family together! Take some time-off to discover your inner chef and try your hand at recipes and cuisines like never before. Make most of online communities like Your Food Lab, Cooking Shooking and Archana’s Kitchen to create meals to be proud of.

View the world - virtually
While for our own safety we must avoid crowds, technology offers us a chance to travel virtually! With augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) being accessible through our smartphones and computers, take a virtual holiday! Take a 360° tour of the Pyramids or walk straight into Buckingham Palace or inside a Glowworm Cave in New Zealand.
Things will continue to get better, but until it’s unwise to gather in public places, cherish and make most of your time at home!
