Diary Writing (25/03/20)

Dear Diary,

When I started staying in a hostel to complete my graduation 3.5 years back, the one thing I constantly craved for is a holiday - A day-off from my busy schedule that includes attending classes till evening, completing the given tasks, eating and sleeping. The cycle repeats everyday leaving Sundays and special occasions.

It had been 7 days since our college declared holidays due to the outbreak of COVID-19. I was very happy that I will get to spend some time at my home with my family and I still am. But due to COVID-19, I have to stay quarantined. I mean, we all have to.

Instead of wasting time by doing nothing, I decided to do something that makes me happy - be it watching a web series, writing something, reading fiction, anything.....

It feels like I am in my own personal prison.

A prison with all facilities - delicious food, Internet connection, my mobile phone and no work to do.

Does it feel good?

Absolutely not!

As stupid as it sound, I miss going to college, attending classes, staying with friends in hostel and waiting for the next day.

Hopefully this moment shall pass

Yours

K V
