City Series - Vanshika Gupta in Panipat, We the Isolationists (40th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Vanshika Gupta]

I close my eyes in my self-isolation from corona… and I see baba and nanu sitting together, chilling, drinking whiskey and discussing the things that they were not able to do in their life.

And now I am performing in front of the whole school. They are laughing at me. I am laughing at them. We both laugh at each other.

And now, I am walking at midnight with my two dogs – Ayush and Bhindi. And then, we forget our route.

Finally, I can see myself painting, listening to music somewhere on a hill’s top and then chaiwala arrives with chai and mathri.
