Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Bageshwar Singh]

I close my eyes in self isolation from corona… and I see that it was all merry. Birds courted, amaltas bloomed, lilies rained. Even caterpillars ate much of my avocado leaves. Air cleared. I wondered what they meant, when they said ‘everything will be stopped’? What was ‘everything’? It seemed fine.

But.

The news were scary. I missed my friends. They seemed too far. How could i have joined them, exploring fruits in jungles?

Flowers bloomed, but where? There weren’t many in my room.

The spring was, after all, silent.

Because, everything had stopped.
