However, quarantine doesn’t come with a tedious schedule. If you are wondering what to do at home or how to utilize this period effectively, turn your attention back to work rather than scrolling social media or hearing fake news for long.

It is never too late to learn something new. And, when it comes to grooming your skills, then practicing much during quarantine is the smartest way to utilize this time. Being stuck at home has brought an amazing opportunity for you to explore these given below skills and enjoy your lockdown. Learn more:-

 

1. COOKING

One thing that most people have learned during this quarantine 2020 is that cooking is not that much harder than one thinks. Cooking is an art of learning and knowing the value of foods in one’s daily life. Though it is not as easy as boiling water, you need skills to master it. Being in lockdown allows you to utilize your time in the kitchen and learn to cook recipes from scratch.

You can start cooking by making homemade pasta, Dosa, sandwich, and more. It encourages you to know about the ingredients and spices while you cook your food. However, if you are already a good cook, you can try mastering the skills over a pan, such as flipping omelet without breaking or making pizza at home.

 

2. YOGA

If you feel depressed or anxious in quarantine, then yoga can help you calm your nerves and boost your immunity. It is a peaceful activity that not only helps relieve your mind but also helps you shed your kilos. You have to be fit physically and mentally. Get online help where you can live sessions of yoga and reform your body. Therefore, practicing stretching, asanas, and meditation encourage you to stay active throughout the day.
Your interest in doing more productive activities will increase, and you will be healthy.

 

3. GARDENING

The COVID-19 threat won’t keep you away from the best skills to learn, which is gardening. To provide better care to your plants, clean the area around them and water the plants. Make sure to wear gloves and a mask while gardening.

No doubt, you are near to your home, but safety matters. Moreover, plant more vegetables. Gardening is an excellent way to keep yourself busy during the quarantine.

 

4. PLAY ONLINE GAMES

Time well spent, not wasted! It is irrefutable that spending time playing games is a great relaxation. Everyone wants to have good relief after online classes or work from home. Thus, there are many online games available such as Ludo, PUBG, Tambola, and more. One can register for these games easily by just buying online tickets. Have fun! Therefore, it is a wonderful opportunity for you to grab during coronavirus quarantine.

Workshop on Hydroponics – Organic Gardening That Only Needs Water

07/03/2018

This one’s for all you gardening lovers out there. And the ones who favour organic food over the chemical and pesticide ridden eatables sold in the markets these days. Here’s a chance to learn how to grow your plants and vegetables without the hassles of potting and planting!

What : Hydroponics Workshop
When : Mar 10, 2018 | 12:30 PM
Where: Nayagaon, Chandigarh

Hydroponics, to put it simply, is the method of growing plants in a water based solution that is rich with nutrients. This practice is different from growing plants in soil because it uses mineral solutions to feed the plants in water, instead of using soil. The added advantage of growing plants by this arrangement is that it produces fresh, dirt free, chemical free, natural food.

So, Pindfresh, decided to hold a few open workshops on hydroponic farming. The idea is to show people how the hydroponic arrangement is fixed up and how it works. The folks at Pindfresh themselves grow and consume the fresh produce of hydroponic farming and want to get a conversation going about the need for adopting this method of farming for both, economic and environmental purposes.

The best thing about hydroponics is that you can simply do it in your kitchen! The workshop gives you access to Pindfresh’s in-house hydroponic systems (or hydroponic farms as some might call it) and educates you about the process of growing produce by this method. You can learn how to set one up in your own house and they are more than happy to tell you how to effectively utilise the systems.

The best part? It’s no rocket science and it looks good! You simply have to place plants into long tubes filled with nutrient-based water solution and take the necessary steps which will ensure that the plant grows properly. It can be set up in a , kitchen, living room, bedroom, or wherever you want as long as it meets the basic demands of air, water and sunlight. Moreover, fresh oxygen fills your home, taking care of your health demands, giving you clean and breathable air.

For those of us who love to grow food at home, or are particular about what we eat, this is the thing to bank on! We need not be dependent on lack of space or healthy soil to grow our choice of food. Simply set up a hydroponic system and reap the fruits of what you hydroponically sow.
