According to me, this lockdown is like a refresh button to rediscover ourselves in many ways. I am spending all the time with my parents and brothers in my village. Helping them in their daily activities is like bringing my childhood back again. I can see how happy they are when I am around them. Also, I am keeping my home and my surroundings clean and hygienic. I am doing all the work by myself.”

She is reading high moral books and biographies which motivate one to be better humans, and said, “I am currently reading Sudha Murthy Books, finished reading ‘My experiments with truth’ which is on Gandhiji’s life. I have a few books to finish which are authored by SL Byrappa’s Saatha and Yaana, and I suggest people to read books authored by K N Ganeshaish like ‘Kari Siri Yaana’, ‘Shaalabanjike’, ‘Kanana Musuku’ and ‘Rakta Sikta Ratna’. I enjoy reading them.”
