Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Zareen Khan]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see…
a city that has come to a stand still,
there is an unsual absence of that thrill,
about seeing those I am in love,
sprinting metros, pooping dove,
the murmurs enveloping,
and the curiosity developing
for what I am about to evesdrop today,
some conversations I’ll forget, others will stay

I kind of miss the commotion
you know,
this city is an emotion, and now that
we all are home-bound, I long for the crowd
the incessant cries, the voice and the sound,
till then,

“please mind the gap”
