The month of fasting, Ramadan, started last month and today, 1st May 2020, is the 8th day of Ramadan in UK. It has been nearly 2 months since I have been working from home. COVID-19 is taking a toll already. I have developed sleeping disorder in the last 2 months. In fact, it is not just me, the whole family as kids are also staying home all day, thanks to school closure. I just hope and pray, we get hold of the situation quickly. Earlier, I used to glue to TV watching Indian reality shows. Even that has stopped now because of the pandemic affect. I decided to buy Netflix subscription to give me company when I feel low. And when I am bored of web series, I get my hand dirty doing Raku programming. Although I am not there but I feel comfortable with Raku now. I have been doing the Perl Weekly Challenge every week in Perl and Raku. I am even blogging about my Raku learning experience. I hope doing weekly challenge will help me learn the many magics of Raku.
