Learning belongs to everyone regardless of the age and books are the only source through which people can learn about many things.

Books let us travel through various dimension without even lifting our feet.

You can read the books that you always wanted to, but did not have time to. You can also send ‘good-read’ books gifts to take your recipient on adventurous journey.

We tend to eat more while staying home all day. Encourage yourself and your loved ones to eat healthy specially food that strengthen immune system. 

Learn new skills:

It is the perfect time to learn new skills, or hone your neglected skills. During this time encourage your loved ones too to give time to the things they neglected due to busy schedules.

Music is medicine – be it a good time or a bad time. Play guitar or any other musical instruments you have at home. Play your favorite music. Create songs playlists and share with your distant loved ones.

Cooking:
