It has been almost 150 days of us staying at home. Who imagined that we would
experience a Lockdown? This period is sure to go down in history and will be recalled in
stories for a long time to come.
Staying indoors created a phrase most of us have found ourselves using often, ‘The New
Normal’. As being cooped up inside our homes taught us fresh coping mechanisms, and
introduced us to traits we were unaware we possessed.
Each of us is hopeful that there will be an Unlock Quarantine announcement soon because
logically speaking for how long can we continue to live like this? After all, there is life and
routines to get back to, travel to undertake and jobs and studies waiting.
Doctors have let us know that we will have to learn to live with some lifestyle changes.
I must confess though that the thought of stepping out into the world has been making me a
tad apprehensive. After being confined to the safety of my home I am psyching myself into
readiness to being exposed to crowds again. But we will have to step out eventually and it is
best that we do so fully prepared.
Like a Warrior, I will have to equip myself to ensure that I am fully ‘armed’ against this
tricky situation. As a self-anointed ‘Masked Warrior’ I am readying my arsenal to keep
myself healthy for when the lockdown ends in India and I step out:
Keeping my Immunity up: The Lockdown gave us more than enough time to work on our
Immunity. What also worked in boosting it up was the lack of restaurant deliveries which
made us turn to home food. Fresh home-cooked food is the best way to up your Immunity, as
it getting fresh air and exercise, drinking enough water, and sleeping well. Something most of
us have been doing through the Lockdown.
Keeping Distance: Social Distance has been imbibed and practiced through these past 150
days and doing so comes naturally now. This is one habit we all will need to maintain even as
we resume our normal lives soon.
Minimal Contact: Apart from Social Distancing, maintaining minimal contact with external
surfaces like doors, tabletops, walls, and while using public transport is another habit we
should continue.
Sanitizing: We have become experts at sanitizing surfaces and hand washing and perhaps
that has helped us to stay safe. Let us continue this habit, more so now that Online Shopping
will resume and our packages will start reaching us.
Wearing a Mask: The Lockdown has given me enough time to do a series of Trials and
Errors as I tried out different masks. While some were aesthetically pleasing, they flattened
my nose and pulled at my ears. Others were comfortable but were flimsy and did not offer
adequate protection. I wash the one I use as soon as I get home, so that meant reusable masks
that would hold their shape and color.
The Welspun Health Anti-Bacterial Reusable Masks were a great find. These lightweight,
pure Cotton Masks offer 99.9% Bacterial Protection which is effective for up to 50 washes.
They are available in attractive Colours/Patterns & sizes for Kids and Adults. Certified by
Independent quality labs these Masks come with mask fit adjusters that makes wearing these
a super comfortable experience.
These masks are untouched by bare hands in the manufacturing & supply chain process, and
hence, are #MadeToProtect you even before you wear them.
Wearing a Mask is not only a necessity, it is a Social Responsibility. Which one are you
wearing?
Completely agree. We all have to be masked warriors to stay safe and protect ourselves. Welspun masks are really good. A good find indeed.
They truly are a good find, Deepa. Thanks for reading.
This is such a fun yet informative article. Good… It is important that people know about this and read up
Thank you for reading, Roshan.
Choosing the right mask is not easy. This is very helpful in choosing right mask. Liked that welspun mask are untouched by bare hands and certified. Like that it comes in beautiful prints and with adjusters.
True. The fact that Welspun Masks are untouched by bare hands and certified really put my mind at ease.
It is definitely a social responsibility to be wearing a mask. So well put, Mayuri. I also feel like a masked warrior when I venture out but I guess that is the way of life now. It’s better we accept that and protect ourselves as well as others who come in contact. Welspun masks are definitely most comfortable and actually #MadeToProtect
Thanks, Aesha. Yes, it is a way of life, and we better adapt it and Mask up right if we want to stay safe.
Mask has become my best friend too with time. Now it is the first thing that come to my mind when I go out, I started making more of them at home sue to limited availability of good quality ones here..I am wondering if this will become a story to tell or a lifestyle
I like how you put it, the Mask should become our best friend. Hope this doesn’t become a lifestyle though.
Each of these are valid points! After a lot of hits and misses, i got my set of maaks from Fab India. These look like good masks, I do recall you tweeting about them too. Will surely check these out.
Thanks, Pratibha. Yes, do check out these Masks.
Choosing the right mask is important because some of them really become uncomfortable to wear for longer durations. Welspun masks look good and the brand is known for quality.
Comfort should be on top of the list when it comes to choosing Masks. Thanks, Manisha.
Being Masked warrior is our super power.Its the best way we can get to the other side of the COVID horror.
Yes. We need to follow all the rules and keep our spirits up as we do so.
There are so many types of masks available and choosing the right one is extremely important. These masks seems good in quality and it looks amazing as well.

The mask is the new normal. It was a style statement, but more importantly as time passed people.started realising it is much more than a style statement..these masks look promising. Will check them out
Thank you, Sindhu. Yes from style statements to the right protective gear, Masks have come a long way.
I can wear mask, sanitize and have a good immunity… Rest not possible as goto work!! Hope they find a vaccine soon…
You are doing the best you can, under the circumstances. Stay safe.
Yes, we all have become masked warriors and the good fabric mask that protect us from the virus is a must.
True. The right Mask is very important.
Yes we have become a pro now to live this kind of lifestyle, we definitely are warriors especially kids, keeping them indoors for so long has definitely taken a troll but we should be proud of ourselves and the kids to have been able to cope up with this as well
Yes, completely agree with you on this, Dimple.
