    Quarantine, social distancing, isolation, and the likes of these words are not mere amalgamation of alphabets but basically are the driving principle of how our lives are being governed right now. It is imperative that we continue adhering to ground rules to fight this pandemic and as the time gets tough, we have to get tougher. For many of us, this is still a privileged place as we continue cooking resting, working and sometimes chilling with a glass of wine at home. The anxiety takes a backseat for a while and we keep ourselves busy. Now every day is a weekend for some people but in case, you are planning to indulge in a little âdaaruâ party (virtual obviously) with your friends, then here some smashing numbers you guys can play and dance along the tune:

    1. Naagin- I donât know about you but we are awaiting that sweet reunion with friends where coffee dates and that long âgehdiâ are not taken for granted anymore. Good beats, good music.

    2. Na Na Na - The chorus of âNa Na Na Naâ and a glass of whiskey in hand are a wonderful combination.

    3. Rail Gaddi â I âd suggest this is to be played more like a grand finale because just like no wedding in complete without running in circles on this, how can your video reunion be done without this?

    4. Mummy- I find it like a cringe fest but dancing to it is super fun.

    5. Tote Tote â Donât you feel hearts are broken into tiny pieces as we continue missing our buddies!

    6. Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye- Yeah well its going to be a while till we can go to a disco and dance and eat but till then Facetime to the rescue.

    7. Gangland- Nothing better than the song which explains your âmitronâ that you cannot take out that Jeep and drive to their âpindâ.

    8. Tu Hi Das De- My current favourite song for every mood so add it to yours as well.

    9. Tera Yaar Huun Main- Considering everyone is going to be a bit emotional, this one should be on the list to sing together.

    10. Hips Donât Lie- The confidence one gets after a few drinks is unparalleled so if you got moves like Shakira, go ahead and chase your âdostâ for a dance-off today.


    You probably have your list ready but add these for that extra effect!

    "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves,â Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and author of has written in his book. 
    That quote completely sums up our situation right now. India, including many other countries, is in complete lockdown owing to the outbreak of coronavirus and there is very little that we can do right now. In a situation like this, where we have no control over things currently happening, itâs best to change our attitude and shift our focus towards whatâs positive out there in the world. 
    This may come across as insensitive for some but can we save that debate for later please, yâall?
    From blue skies, cleaner air and water, to animals and birds returning to their natural habitat, the outside world looks much better now and werenât we always striving to achieve that?
    Here is a compilation of some of the beautiful images from India that clearly show us the stark differences between life before and after the lockdown:

    â Saru (@Saru81589968) April 17, 2020So itâs absolutely clear that nature sure has its own mysterious ways to heal itself. Taking advantage of this better-than-before world outside, we should behave like responsible citizens and continue to protect our environment even after the lockdown ends.

    Thanks to Doordarshan, the popular show Ramayan is back on the TV and I am on a nostalgia trip. Back then, we all used to watch it on our television screens and it seems like we are back to those golden days when people used to respect each other and TV used to air shows that made sense and shows like âNaaginâ didnât exist.
    We had actors like Arun Govil who played the character of Lord Ram to perfection. When one tries to imagine Lord Ram, we can only think of him in that avatar, as no one, post that, could ever give justice to the grandeur of the character of Lord Ram. Even after 33 years since its first telecast, the show continues to receive the same amount of love. Itâs trending on Twitter every day and people are thankful to the channel for re-airing the show in these difficult times of lockdown in the country.

    MensXP got in touch with Arun Govil to know his reaction to Ramayan getting a positive response by the millennials and how challenging was it to shoot in those days as facilities and production budgets were tight and limited.
    Ramayan is back and people from every generation is loving the show, especially the millennials.  Many of us have watched it while growing up but for new generation kids, itâs a first. They are loving it and have been trending Ramayan on Twitter. 
    What do you have to say about it?
    âIt feels great when you get so much of love and when people from every generation like you, it means that show has a universal appeal. The show has been telecast at such a time that everyone can watch it sitting with their families. It's a family-oriented show and you get to learn about relationships between a father and son, husband and wife, and many other relationships. The younger generation was earlier not thorough with Ramayan but now they can see it and understand it properly. These days, kids are smart and they know the positives and negatives. I am sure that the younger generation will follow some things from Ramayan. â
    When I was a kid, I used to think you are the real Lord Rama. Have you ever faced such situations back then when people used to come to thinking you as some celestial being?
    âThere were a lot of people who looked at me as I am Lord Rama and I could see them get goose bumps on their body. They used to start crying and say 'Oh Bhagwaan'. People used to touch my feet and run away saying that we have finally met God â âAaj hume bhagwaan milgaye, aaj humne bhagwaan dekh liyeâ, so there were a lot of such instances that happened back then. â

Quick sketch from Pencil : HB, 2B. . #arungovil #arungovil_ram #sunillahri #sunillahri_laxman #arvindtrivedi #ramayana #ramayan #ramayanam #ramayanagiveaway #lordrama #lordram #10_top_artist #art_xplore #drawingsketch #drawingindian #indian_artists_club @laughingcoloursA post shared by (@sketches_of_harsh)
    So, it's not that directors didn't come with the modern versions of Ramayan but there's some charm about Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan and no one could ever recreate it. Do you agree?
    Let me tell you, after this Ramayan, there were at least 4 to 5 versions of it that were shown on TV. In fact, Ramanand Ji's brothers had also tried it but they also didn't work and the reasons are the quality of the show, Sagar Sahab's writing is unbeatable in this show, right kind of the casting, and this Ramayan was made with having faith in god. Later on, we too realized that God was helping us to make the show. Everyone in the show was dedicated to the show and we were not thinking it's just a character in the show. We were literally a part of it from our hearts and this emotion wasn't there in the rest of the versions.
    Nowadays, TV stars or Bollywood celebs have a lot of luxuries like their own personal vanity vans and rooms with AC but that wasn't the case when you were shooting. 
    How challenging was it for you back then?
    There were no facilities at all. We had rooms to ourselves but that had only the basic amenities and even the bed was like 'lakdi ka takhta sorts' (old ones if you remember). I remember âitni garmi hoti thi and usmein humne kaam kiyaâ. Luxuries never make a project, it's your hard work that gives you the result.
    âHumari jitni jewelry hoti thi, mukut and all, it was made of metal and nowadays, fabric ka ban jata hai. Wo mukut and jewelry were so heavy that we used to get cuts on our skin and even our shoulders used to give up but then, we kept working hard and it did take a toll but the results were good and that kept all of us going. â

    So, when you play such a positive character, there's an image that's imprinted on people's minds and it's very hard for them to see you in sort of a negative portrayal. Did that happen in your case?
    âThoda nahi, aise poora hua tha mere sath. I was in commercial films prior to Ramayan. I had started working in 1977 and Ramayan came in 87. After Ramayan, I was out from commercial films and no one could think, Arun Govil could play anything but a deity. I also tried my hands but I myself didn't like it and I realized that this man is not made for grey characters. I wanted to change my image from positive to negative but that didn't happen so I left chasing what I didn't have. â
    Back in those days, humanity meant something different and life was very simple. Recently, a video had surfaced where Arvind Trivedi (who played the role of Raavan) was feeling apologetic for abducting Sita on the reel screen. But, now, we don't see such humanity or emotions. 
    How will Ramayan restore the basic emotion of humanity?
    âEmotions toh basically logon ki life se missing hai aajkal. We are living in a materialistic world and emotions have no space which is not a good sign. Ramayan does help and let me tell you, we become habitual of the environment we stay in. If you stay with negative people, you tend to think negatively and when you are surrounded by positivity, you will absorb it as human beings have the tendency to observe our surroundings and react in a certain way. If you see positive things on TV, you will obviously learn good things. â

    Ending on a positive note, what message you would want to give to the younger generation?
    âRamayan has so many things that you can learn from and it's quite relevant in today's life too. I would say 'sanskaar' bohot kaam aate hai. In our everyday lives, no one is telling these things so better to learn from Ramayan. We go to convent schools and it's good that you want to grow but don't get convent schools at home. In today's age, parents don't tell their children ki pair chu kar jao. I feel respect is getting lost and I think we should retain our 'sanskaar'. I would tell the youngsters to try everything, but it's important to know the positives and negatives. â
    Have you relived the golden days with your family while watching this mythological saga?

    The coronavirus lockdown across the globe has brought a looming doom on humans at the moment. As we continue to stay in quarantine, the world is divided in several categories of lifestyle. On one hand we have the privileged lot which is trying hard to make it look like one long vacation, and on the other hand are people who cannot afford a single meal. Talking about first world problems in this pandemic, Indians are dying for âthekasâ to open so they can fill up their booze stock at home and continue having a quarantined life in peace. However, as per new guidelines, sale of liquor and cigarettes is banned, and maybe rightly so. The governor of Nairobi in Kenya has been the target of some flak after the COVID-19 care packages that are being given by the government include alcohol as well.
    âWe will have some small bottles of Hennessy in the food packs that we will be giving to our peopleâ¦â - Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko

    Note: WHO warns that drinking alcohol does not protect you against COVID-19 and can be dangerous pic.twitter.com/vuSuVAb8dy
    â Citizen TV Kenya (@citizentvkenya) April 14, 2020
    When the governor was questioned, he agreed to the claim and actually had an explanation for the same. He explained that alcohol is in fact a âthroat sanitiserâ although according to WHO, alcohol doesnât protect you from COVID-19 nor is consumption recommended. The video went viral on social media and people had many opinions around this move.
    Creative politician award to Mike Sonko governor of #Nairobi, #Kenya He distributed #COVID19 care packages included food, other needs & cognac, #Hennessy. Sonko suggested the #WHO suggested alcohol helps kill #Coronavirus, the Hennessy would serve as a âThroat Sanitizer.â ...
    â Delrish Moss (@Delrish_M) April 18, 2020 People actually want to vote for him and wish every government was this cool.
    Everyone is hating on the governor of #Kenya for giving out bottles of Henny in Rona relief packages but come on, I want my government to be this cool...@MikeSonko hook it up!!!!
    â Bill Tracy (@BillTracyIV) April 17, 2020Not sure about his choice of outfit here, but he had me at HENNESSY! pic.twitter.com/XRKvdyU6zz
    â Shawnasaurus Rex (@ShawnG927) April 18, 2020 Jokes apart, some people didnât find it cool and called him out for this health hazard.
    There is alot of ignorance as regards preventing COVID19 in Africa, just heard a governor in Nairobi Kenya shared cognac to his people claiming it kills coronavirus, some Men for Naija go like that kind Governor ooooo
    â Owen Gee (@OfficialOwenGee) April 17, 2020His hand sanitizers are pretty cool actually with all that customisation included. I wonder if it has a personalised not as well?
