People play popular games to de-stress themselves

As the nation completes 35 days of complete

lockdown

, most people are running out of options to keep themselves busy. In such a situation, popular

childhood

games are helping them stay occupied.

For 32-years-old teacher,

Priyam Singh

, playing

ludo

not only entertains her but also reminds her of those sweet childhood days. She said, “Ludo was one of my favourite games during my school days. I used to play it with my friends almost every evening. The only difference is that in my childhood I played the game on the ludo board and now I play in my mobile via an app.”

Sonam Dubey, a 26-year-old college-goer, plays carrom with her siblings every evening amid lockdown. “I play carom every day to de-stress myself. My 19-year-old sister Anjali loves playing hide and seek with the family members. Playing these games relaxes us. It also helps us to create some beautiful memories,” she said.

Apart from these games, a few youngsters engage themselves by playing hopscotch and chess at home. Abhishek Bhardwaj, another 22-year-old college-goer prefers to play chess to beat his boredom. He said, “While my 18-year-old sister

Abhinavi

loves playing hopscotch in her free time, I like to play chess. It refreshes me completely.”
