Covid Evanesco

I was just talking to a friend and he asked me how I was…

I don’t have Covid but I can’t say that I’m fine…

He agreed with a same pinch and it kept me thinking… didn’t I like being alone? Didn’t I enjoy not talking to people? Didn’t I skip gatherings and going out in the past? So, what changed now? Well, two things changed –

1. Being alone and aloof was a choice but it’s a compulsion now,

2. Being alone at home, not going out meant private space, but now, everybody is going through it and the space seems crowded.

Since the lockdowns, it feels like people are invading my private space and it gets so frustrating… how long will this continue? I want to meet someone for one last time and watch my favourite episode from FRIENDS… will it happen? Will I ever be able to go to Europe? 2 years and I could do nothing…

Well, its all so overwhelming and I may have to cope with this for a while and until then, I keep imagining about the first thing I plan to do right after the lockdown is lifted off.

I’ve been on this plan for quite long, I’ll take a break for two days, escape to a place where I could sit on the balcony and enjoy the rain, listed to MD Rafi, sip some hot chocolate and write… no phone and no internet…

Thinking of it makes me smile ear-to-ear and imagine how great it would be if it happened soon? Plus, I bought cute dresses for it... they still have their tags 😞

So, Covid Evanesco
