Ever since people started taking home quarantine seriously and have been socially distancing themselves to avoid the coronavirus, they have been becoming quite creative. Since most of us are working from home and some don’t know what to do with all the time at home, social media has become a virtual playground.
From coming up with creative work from home desks to #SocialDistancingPickUpLines and recreating dramatic work from home looks, people have done it all to keep themselves busy and others entertained during this time. Now, a new trend has kick-started that’s ticking our funny bones. People are now trying to figure out what their quarantine nickname is.
So, the trend started when author and TV producer Elan Gale took to social media and tweeted about this interesting pastime. In his tweet, he asked people to figure out their quarantine nickname by posting how they feel right now, plus the last thing they ate out of the cupboard.
Your quarantine nickname is how you feel right now + the last thing you ate out of the cupboard”
You can call me “angry chili mango”

Although some of us might not be enjoying the ‘stay at home’ phase RN, I am loving it. All thanks to these kinds of fun and interesting trends. I hope your ‘quarant-eekend’ goes as masaledaar as these trends. Also, don’t forget to share with us your nickname.
