For me, it started in the mid of March. Everything was going fine until someone in Wuhan had to had a bat soup! Well, see the butterfly flapping its wings?
Until March, it was spread only in China but I was pretty convinced that it will reach out to our doors soon; no matter where we are located. Some people around me were least bothered, thinking they were immune but I was scared. Dead scared.

Somehow I had faith in our Prime Minister, I knew he was the best fit during this pandemic. He tried initially to build faith in the people by asking us to do something which majority felt was silly. Maybe even I did. But I could say with full honesty that I felt gladly those days.

The first Covid-19 case was reported in Kerala on Jan 30th and hence lockdown was implemented during end of March when more cases started to emerge and we were advised to stay home. Schools, colleges, offices, flights, trains, public and private transport everything was closed. The whole nation was shut down. Grocery stores, medicals and a very few restaurants were open but for a short period of time. People could only go out if they were wearing a mask and it was advised to carry a hand sanitizer. We followed a queue whenever we went out for shopping (only groceries were allowed). I remember taking things in bulk so I won’t have to go out for war anytime soon.

I had encountered such thing which I had never imagined in my wildest dreams. An invisible bacteria was making our lives miserable. Thousands of people were dying. Lacs were getting infected and I don’t know how many were tested every single day. Hospital’s beds were not enough when the number of cases inflated. Doctors were our only hope and guess what, some of them were martyred fighting the battle for us. It was a havoc.

WHO had announced emergency. Scientists and medical researchers were madly invested in making a vaccine. We waited for months for the vaccine to come but it wasn’t that simple. Several attempts were made but they weren’t effective. It was May and everything was still closed. We were locked up in our homes from past 2 months now. People were losing it. They were desperate to come out and live the life they used to live. But was it that simple? It was too much to ask for.
Some people were stuck away from their family. They couldn’t head back home because the flights or trains were on hold. Thousands of people lost their jobs. The factory workers were fired and asked to go back home; but how could they? If someone from late future is reading this then you’ll be surprised to know that they started 2000 KM journey on foot. Some of them could make it to their homes while some died in the middle.
Govt. decided to arrange buses at that time and that’s how it was managed.

The only good thing happening at this time was environment recovery. Rate of pollution dropped, very less litters, lesser CO2 emissions and earth was healing. We could see more greenery. The water in the canals of Venice was crystal clear. The sky was never clearer.

I live in Bangalore because of my job and even I was kind of stuck. I was afraid that any time that virus could knock on my door and I might not survive. Well, part of me hoped for that!
More than me, I was worried about my family in Bihar. If I catch it then I could get a good treatment in Bangalore but Bihar lacks medical facilities.
One day I was walking in my balcony and I saw two health workers, wearing masks and sanitizing the home which was just in front of mine. It had come so close, I knew it was the end.

The same day I went down to collect the grocery delivery and I saw that the delivery guy was having a red eye. After a couple of days, I caught it too. It was pretty bad. I took several eye drops but nothing was helping. My eye infection was getting severe everyday.
I checked the symptoms of covid-19 and yes, conjunctivitis was one of them.
Was I scared? Well, I’ll leave it to you to figure out.

And finally I can also feel the pleasure of being employed. 😉 It feels satisfied really. I had waited for a long time and here it comes. Mphasis, an HP company!

I can sense the happiness in my parents heart ❤ I really am glad that I’m the reason behind their happiness 🙂

Thank you God 🙂

How blessed you feel when your mother kisses your forehead ? I was sleeping in my dream and there was someone calling out my name. He was disturbing me. My mother scolded that person and said “let her sleep, she is tired” and she came to me and kissed my forehead and cheeks too. And I didn’t let her go by taking her in my arms. That moment was incredible even if it was just a dream, it filled my heart with an eternal satisfaction.
But here I am, away from my family and missing them like anything. I miss you mommy. I love you 🙂 :*
