The lockdown had made many to pause and reflect back at the life and some are discovering their inner artist, some are jamming and connecting with their music self, some are practicing MasterChef in their kitchen and some are busting sweat and working towards their fitness; endpoint is that we realize that there is more to life than just devices and school and collages and job and people are getting out of comfort zone to make best of it.
