I’ve tested positive when I least expected it
I’ve never said ‘NO’ to work and have been working online whenever required. I can’t pinpoint when and where I’ve contracted the virus. But I’ve tested positive when I least expected it. I didn’t have any significant symptoms for many days. I had mild headache and body pains for a couple of days which is when I got myself tested.

I’m doing fine in self-isolation
I was in self-isolation the moment my test results were out. I live with my family and I also asked them not to worry because we also need to be mentally strong in this battle with Corona.

I used to give precautions to everyone; so I initially felt uncomfortable
As a media professional, my work demanded me to step out on a few important occasions. There were instances a few of my colleagues in media tested positive. I in fact gave precautions to many but I’ve tested positive now. So, I initially felt uncomfortable talking about testing COVID-19 positive but biggies like Amitabh Bachchan ji and Rajamouli garu openly spoke about it. I’m no one to not talk about. I feel everyone should overcome the stigma and be vocal about the same.

Corona and the recent lockdown reminded me to pay more attention to little things in life and be more disciplined. Life in Bigg Boss house is nothing in front of this. We have to think of life beyond just chasing money.

Organic farming and farmers need more support
We have to eat healthy to stay healthy. Organic farming is getting the necessary attention needed today. We need to further support it. I feel we’ll be in a better position when farmers and agriculture enjoy the support they need.
