Under Lockdown, People Across The World Are Sharing Scenic Views From Their Windows
Week after week is an interminable wait of what¡¯s going to happen next since the coronavirus outbreak. Our lives, for the past few weeks, have been limited to staying at home, constantly keeping a track of rising cases in our home countries, frantically reading up about a possible cure and fearing worst-case scenarios.
When the news is all doom and gloom, it¡¯s hard for even the most optimistic among us to stay positive. Of course, in this hour of crisis, it is important to know about the coronavirus outbreak to protect yourself and those around you but that does not mean we let worrying news seep into our brains.
One thing that we may forget in the midst of this lockdown is the Vitamin N (nature) that it's depriving us all of and for that you don¡¯t really need to go outside. All you need is a window that can bring the outside into your view. As suggested by John de Pluma, a reowned internist proponent of food-based health practices," Find a window view or other view designed to induce feelings of deep relaxation, awe, and vitality¡ªit will take you away from your inward-facing world.¡±
To meet this goal some organisations and individuals have set up new hashtags or social media accounts as a way for people to share what they see through the window. A Facebook group, called 'View from my window,' allows just that.
The group description reads, "This group has been created to connect people from all around the World during these tough times. #stayhome: CORONAVIRUS Lockdown obliges us to stay home.
Every day, through our windows, we have the same view. Take a photo! only one.
LET'S SHARE IT! Should you see the rooftop of your town, overview a parc, see buildings, the ocean, a tiny street or even the sky, our idea is for you to share the atmosphere of your daily Life, from BEHIND YOUR WINDOW, where you live. (We expect that people will respect the dignity of others)."
The group has a simple set of rules: 'No video, no people, no zoom.' Just post the view you see.
