City Series – Anannya Uberoi in Madrid, We the Isolationists (287th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Anannya Uberoi]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see myself back in Sucre Salón de Té, a tall cup of English breakfast with a beckoning cat formed on its silicone lid, its raised hands gently coaxing me to smell the tea.

I greet the barista, some days in Spanish, some, in English. After a heartiful read, I visit San Jerónimo at sundown to say a passing prayer. I ring my family back in Delhi as I begin homewards.

I see my next day at work–fuller with the tea, the reading, and conversations of yesterday.

“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.
