City Series - Aparajita Ghosh in Bombay, We the Isolationists (33rd Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Aparajita Ghosh]

I close my eyes in my self-isolation from corona… and I see a musical retreat, Ustad Fareed Ayaz and Ustad Puranchand Wadali sharing a broad rostrum. The honeyed, husky voice of Ayaz sahab blending magnificently with the fruity voice of Wadali ji, and I see the divine Iqbal Bano standing tall in the centre of the stage, draped in fierce black saree, giving their qawwalis and ghazals a soothing rhythm, and then I find Anjum and Zainab standing in the corner of stage, thrilled to see them all under the same star. No sooner I lost myself back to the dreams of Khwabgah.

“We the Isolationists” series urges folks from any part of the world to share a brief diary starting with “I close my eyes in my self-isolation from Corona… and I see…” Not more than 100 words. With a horizontal-sized selfie, along with your city name… please mail to me at mayankaustensoofi@gmail.com.
