I was very happy that day. After a long time, I had stepped out of my house. from 22nd, March 2020 to 1st September 2021, I was there in my 2BHK flat in Delhi all alone. My roommate had gone to visit her parents in her hometown. But I don't have the support of my parents. I could not visit them because they live in Kolkata and though I need to stay here only. Due to this covid pandemic, many have lost their dear ones, many started their new life, and many learned new things like cooking, washing utensils, etc. But I learnt how to stay alone because till the lockdown I used to stay with my roommate and before that with my parents in my home.  Truly, my first night after my roommate had left the flat was not good at all. I couldn't sleep properly that night. I was quite afraid because I hadn't spent a night alone before.


And from childhood I had the habit that if someone didn't call me, I was not used to getting up. And in my flat also, my roommate had continued this habit. but the next morning was not good at all. I woke up late as no one was there to wake me up. I was late for my online office and got scolded by my boss. I knew how to cook but I didn't like to cook, though I needed to cook, because no one was available at that time who would cook for me. I didn't like to wash clothes but I had to do that also. I had done all such things which I have not done before .


But let it go, now who can change the reality. But then I had decided that next week I would come to visit my parents because that time lockdown was not there, and airports were also open, so I could come and meet them.

Me and my parents used to talk on video calls but very soon I would be here to see them face to face, hugging them tightly And……. .

Before visiting them I went to the market and bought lots of things for them. Saree, perfumes and bangles for mom. and Blazers, perfumes and a nice wallet for dad.


 Then the day came I was ready to go to the airport. so, I went out on the way to the airport. On the way to the airport, I saw many things had changed but one thing had not changed. It was the mentality of those careless peoples, who had not worn masks, Not sanitizing themselves properly, And roaming out here and there.  


By the way, I reached my home,  when I saw my parents I took their blessings, hugged them tightly and started crying. And they had also started crying. But it was the tears of happiness but not of sorrow. and now I am in my room writing this diary. Soon I will have dinner and say good night to my parents and go to bed.
