If you live in India, I don't think anytime soon.. Just get a feeling that lockdown is probably going to be extended till May/June.

I don't think life will return to what it was pre-lockdown, for a long, long time. especially if the virus lasts through the summer.

 

this will change people's lifestyles for a long time.

Yeah but I found it better compared to Sapiens. 

@Mariyam I would also recommend Why Nations fail by Daron Acemoglu. 

Thanks for the recommendation once again.

I wouldn't categorize Sapiens as a book on evolutionary biology/psychology. Sapiens is about evolving sociology of humans as a species. Great book nonetheless.

@Mariyam If you are interested in the story of rise of radical Islam in the world then The Looming tower is a must. 

I doubt I'd like that.

Coincidentally, I read a collection of prose titled "Deewaron ke beech" by Nida Fazli earlier in the day.

Its about extremism and confining women to their homes.

He starts with a few beautiful verses, thought I'd sher it here

 

Ghar ki badi hain shaan beti se

Mehka rehta hai dil ka jahan beti se

Zaroori nahi ki beton se naam roshan ho

Mere nabi ka chala khandaan beti se.
