City Series – Ankita Jha in Haridwar, We the Isolationists (285th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Ankita Jha]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see all the ways I have not seen my city and myself. I see people hugging monotony, and also each other. I can see mornings turn into afternoons and evenings turn into static nights.

I see my mind accept and reject and retaliate and when it fails, I know I don’t need to rush. Because for the first time in a very long time, life isn’t about proving yourself every day, it’s simply about surviving, and knowing that chocolates are your best friends on bad days.

“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.
