FaceTime with Mr. Corona!

25th March 2020

Dear Diary,

You won't believe what happened today!

Revenge sounds so mean that’s why I prefer calling it ‘returning the favor’. Coronavirus must have realized that there’s this girl who’s treating me like a tiny tot so let me reveal my real face and ‘favor her’.

Yeah, that’s right. The first case in our city and that too in our colony. Damn, this was scary.

All the apartments were being sealed and sanitized killing that 0.001% of germs that Lifebuoy would leave for us out of nowhere. While most of the residents were blaming the woman from Saudi Arabia who had arrived here a few days ago, I was up to something else as usual.

Somewhere, it was the fault of people like me who were taking this quite lightly initially. I usually don’t go this deep but this was it. The real reason and real timing. Consequently, I began to ponder that if an educated girl like me is unaware of the pros and cons of such a deadly disease, or CORONAtic disease maybe, what about the illiterate ones? Definitely, there was a need to spread awareness and to provide hygienic conditions to every slum in the country.

Breaking the ice was our honorable Prime Minister, this time with a lockdown of 21 days. Contrastingly, it was during the first time in this entire crisis that I was actually satisfied. Mature, am I? Wise would suit more, I guess.

So, just ‘elderly’ advice for you: Be grateful. Be grateful for your life and stay humble for someone who might actually want to live your life. For now, take a deep breath and let it all go. Philosophical? Huh.
