Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Vatsala Mehra]

I close my eyes in self isolation from corona… and I see a window, as big as a wall, where sun and shade play together, clouds float giving us alluring peek-a-boo’s of the mighty Kanchenjunga.

I see light rays flirting with the curtains, creating beautiful patterns on my bed, lifting my mood & that of the fading wooden walls of the 100-year-old home in Tinkitam.

One photograph, a few heartfelt words and an epiphany later, I realized I too could fall in love easily.

I left a part of me there, all of us did.

No? Says my younger self.
