'If
you are called upon to report on duty, you too are at risk.' A doctor
friend had told me over the phone. I was to attend my office only if
any urgent work cropped up, and it cropped on the second day of the
lockdown. The meagre people who were present at the office had all
covered their faces with kerchiefs that conveyed the gravity of the
situation. It was so strange to see the otherwise crowded workplace
empty except for five people with their faces covered. Although no
one voiced it, the tension in the air was palpable.
The
negative sentiment snowballed for some time and all the worst
possible outcomes crowded the mind. But life never stops.
Again
the day was spent reading gita, exercising, talking to friends and
watching webseries, reading books and writing. I loved short stories
written by @DebeshiGooptu available for free on @juggernautbooks,
though all her characters seem to have illicit sexual union on their
first meeting itself and then move on with their lives as if nothing
had happened. Yet, I loved her style of narration immensely.
The
good thing about the day, the government rolled out schemes for the
poor and the sensex rose by a hundred points. All was not bad
afterall.
