Hi, this is Fitness Radio Episode 14, and you are back with Priya Dogra. So guys how is your lockdown going on ? You can share your stories and your daily routine with me. This is the first time our generation is going through a condition like this. Maybe our parents have gone through something like this during the world war. But for us and our children, this is a very strange time, and we are getting used to it, and hopefully, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
So after the shayries I shared with you a few days back, I am back with you with more happy news. I made a list of English movies which I have been watching with my children while at home. For your information, my children are of ages 11 and 17, so I always have to pick something which both of them can relate to. And especially the younger one, because this generation just has no patience for emotional stuff. So I had to pick movies which are easy to understand, and they don’t have to think about those movies later.
These are some of my favorite English movies, and I want you to see them during the lockdown to have a fun good time with your entire family. I am sure you’ll love all of them. Some of them are on Netflix, some of them are in Amazon Prime, and you can also find some of them on Youtube too. These are in no order, but I am sure these movies will bring so much quality, positivity, and inspiration in your life. So let’s began.
