City Series –  Anushree Udakhe in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, We the Isolationists (213th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Anushree Udakhe]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see my hostel room. I see myself hustling and running and tensed with all the submissions I had for my 6th semester (architecture). I see how that one message on the college WhatsApp group made me leave hostel and took me home. I see how unexpected our life is… how the virus has changed my daily schedule. I see my to-do list for the entire March, which might be still hanging on the wall of my hostel room. But here I am, at my favourite corner in my home. All calm. With no idea when will I return to my hostel room, eating the yummy food my mom has made for me.

“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.
