City Series – Divya Patpatia in Melbourne, We the Isolationists (142nd Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Divya Patpatia]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see the privileged immigrant I now am, walking in a city holding its breath far away from everything I called home thinking if you live for yourself alone, you are in great danger of being bored to death. I see a generation that takes it all for granted–the leaping, the running, the loving, and the families. I see us hoodwinked to believe we have plenty of time in life. I see myself reminiscing everyday memories of home left behind believing that bad times are good times to prepare for better times.

“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.
