'No book, no movie or no motivational speaker ever guided us on how to manage ourselves during this time. We all are trying to have fun at home. But as days are passing and things are getting serious, the most productive thing to do right now is to manage our mind and hold our vision. The same vision we had when there was no impact of corona in our lives. Corona’s impact might stay a lil longer but one thing we just need to make sure is when it’s all over: We’ll come back stronger!' Sakshi said in a long message about how she is dealing with the situation. 'Until then, I’m gonna enjoy my favourite coffee.'
