LAST DAY OF 2076 B.S........ Day 20 of lock down was the last day of the Nepalese Year 2076 and it was the most calm new year eve ever I've seen although I heard some isolated echo at midnight from few of my neighbors. Lock down made major impact for our celebration still people might have celebrated with their family members as we did. Yup it was no any different than other lock down days as on other days most of time I spent was by sleeping, eating. But instead of just spending my time in nothing it's better to do something so joined one of the online classes on Udemy.  Started this short course of Youtube Search Engine Optimization as it was available for free.

MAHABHARAT : THE ANCIENT EPIC  For the Day 18 of the lock down my eyes opened up pretty fast than on the other days and gave me some energy to start my academic courses after lunch so prepared some of the documents for starting but after lunch plan got changed and the real game of thrones from the history came back on my mind yep it is not other than "Mahabharat".  This epic has so many characters that I was never used to able catch all the story although I had already watched this epic during my childhood. So , I decided to totally understand it for the first time and started watching the shortest animated version of this epic which was of two hours. Even the shortest version was of two hours. So, me watching the animated version gave me some of the basic knowledge about this real game of thrones. It's a long story to talk about on this blog but in short I would like to say it as the Battle between the Kauravs and Pandavs. It was the battle for the throne of t...

ANIME TIME.................. Woke up late today as always I've been during my lock down days. It was already 17th day of lock down. The second mouse which we're trying to hunt down yesterday night was not there we hoped it went out of the room cause last time we saw it was at the door that leads to varanda of the house. Hoping it went out through that door and went somewhere else. The rat poison Dad placed for it was out of use I guess cause there are not any of them for now. So, again there came a thought that instead of wasting my time searching for the invisible mouse lets enjoy some anime series. Hence what I did for the whole day was sleeping on my bed and finished watching the season 2 of "7 Seeds" of course it was an good series if you love survival, adventure genre. And, in the evening looked for the rat around the room after it got a bit of dark as they seem to come out during the dark rather than on the sunlight but didn't found out any si...

MOUSE HUNT........ As I was trying to sleep yesterday after finishing my blog there came an uninvited friend into my room. At first I didn't noticed my friend but as i turned off all the lights and went to bed I heard the sound of steel net getting scratched by my friend which scared the shit out of me. But I bravely turned my mobile flash light on and looked at the window but what I saw at my first glimpse was an common house lizard which made me think oh it's just the lizard making some creepy walking sounds from the steel nets I thought may be he also needed some music to enjoy the lock down and produced his own. But after sometime same sound was again there but it was a bit louder than the previous time which made me to give a look again but this time there was nothing which obviously scared me but immediately I heard some footsteps and moved my mobile torch down saw a small rat there at first I got scared but it ran somewhere under the table or something as it was ...

What I did during the lock down ? These are some of the things I did during the lock down due to COVID-19 or novel Corona virus. 1. We're surviving in a pandemic, observed some of the pandemics from the history got to know that before the industrial revolution i.e. before 1950s every decade a new outbreak was occuring but after the 1950s the frequency of the outbreaks have increased. And as there's always aftershock after an major earthquake there's a possibility of the diseases to recurr as the viruses might mutate.  2. Since, our country has a poor health facility one of my friend being an enthusiastic engineer was trying to make Personal Protection Equiment (PPE) for the medical officers as in case of Italy every 10 in 1 person in Italy who died due to COVID-19 was a medical personnel. During which I got to know the size of the virus i.e. 0.68 micron to 1.36 micron.  3. Did some internet surfing about the Nepali cientist from where I got to knew that ...
