“हाथ हैं जोड़ते विनम्रता से आज हम ,
सुनें आदेश प्रधान का , सदा तुम और हम ;
ये बंदिश जो लगी है , जीवदायी बनेगी ,
21 दिनों का संकल्प निश्चित Corona दफ़नाएगी ” !!!~ अमिताभ बच्चन pic.twitter.com/Hq35etxSz0

Be at home. Stay safe. Stay mentally emotionally and physically strong. Spread love. Have faith. Pray often. Speak to all those who matter daily. Meditate. Read. Cook. See the sky turn bluer every day. 21 days. Will pass. Keep it real and make it count you all.
