For star sprinter Hima Das, the two months of coronavirus-forced national lockdown was not all about confinement inside her room at NIS-Patiala as she improved her cooking and painting skills besides doing yoga. All the track and field campers at the NIS were forced to remain indoors since mid March only to be given go ahead to train outdoors from Monday, with focus on fitness without specialised-event training initially.
"Learnt lot of things during lockdown like improved my cooking and painting. Did lot of meditation and yoga. Its a global lockdown and this was done for our safety," Hima wrote on her Twitter handle.
