As this ****ing virus seems to be mounting its shameless head again. The memories of April 2020 are returning too. Starting with non-stop wats-app messages giving all gyaan about how to protect yourself and your loved ones. Another indicator is the frequency of messages from home chefs and other stay-at-home entrepreneurs – which has gone up substantially.
Frankly speaking, unlike last year, this year will not be about, trends like Dalgona Coffee, baking, and cleaning. This second wave is simply an utterly disheartening development. It has come, at a time, when India was trying to put its act together. This holds for businesses like restaurants, salons, boutiques, and other sundry stores.
So, let’s join hands, to support local businesses around us. Let’s make effort to tell the people, that we care. And one simple way to do so is… ‘To go local’. Buy local brands of clothing, let those fancy iconic international brands be, and choose only made-in-India brands. Call deliveries from local café and restaurants, inspire the local shop to send deliveries instead of ordering on amazon every time. Order wardrobe replenishments from homegrown brands. To make it easier for you, we have a list handy. So, go ahead! Pep up yourself, with goodies from these homegrown brands.
