City Series - Vishal Gupta in Calcutta, We the Isolationists (108th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Vishal Gupta]

I close my eyes in my self-isolation from corona… and I see visuals from the same dream I am having since months, standing at the ghat of Banaras, but this time her hands are not interlocked with mine rather I am losing them, slowly and everything around turns distant and hazy, she’s not standing beside me anymore. The setting sun is replaced by the moon drenched in bloody red, its reflection can be seen in Ganges.

“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.
