So we have heard from our friend Yezdi in India and it is repeated in full below.
 
 
Dear Friends,
 
How are all of you? As the world goes into a more strict and stringent Lockdown, Poroochi and I have been thinking of all friends in Pakenham. Our daughter Sharmin told us that Victoria has also declared a complete lockdown. Hope all of you are doing will with your families. We are doing well too but under house arrest since over two weeks now with another 3 to go. 
 
You must have heard that the whole of India is now under lockdown for a further 3 weeks till the 14th of April as of now. It is being enforced as strictly as possible. The Government is doing it's best to keep essential services going and supplies coming in but it is mammoth job considering the size of the country and the huge huge population. But in the end COVID is surely going to have a major effect on world economy. I guess we just have to do our bit on all fronts and Pray to the Lord for the best. 
 
Sharmin and family in Pakenham are are doing well. Sharmin's only complaint is "I am getting bored out of my wits" but it is a small price to pay for safety.
 
All our Rotary and Inner Wheel activities - projects & weekly meeting are suspended till end April for now. All District Events also cancelled. Our best to all members of RC and IWC Pakenham.
 
You all take care and keep in touch. 
 
Lots of love to all from us in Pune, India
 
Poroochi and India
