Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Nandini Nag]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see uncertainty. Complete and total surrender in the face of adversity. Maybe I am paranoid, like my friends say, but I simply can’t wrap my head around the entire phenomena. You see, I have read such events in books that come out once a year from the top shelf in libraries, to be dusted, glossed over, tch-tched over and put back again. We safely distance ourselves from such pasts. I am in the middle of surreality and I fail to make my peace with it, knowing I can’t understand it. So I while my time away, like Vladimir and Estragon, waiting for this to end, toying with activities, ideas, habits, emotions. Just passing my time.

“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.
