11: 00 PM. 

Hi diary, 

          Wish the days are as dark as night as I wouldn't have to see the faces of people. It's a whole new world to adapt. Days are dull as sepia. Nights black and white. 

    I couldn't make myself a hearty meal a day and even if I ate and ate and ate nothing is going to ever fill that void. So with those musings, I began my day as I got a call from my cousin to ensure about the policy. The call woke me up. 

Why is the Government so lazy ...

Maybe it doesn't have the stock.I've gone to that PHC near Shamshaan Ghat for a good 6-7 times. "But no, you don't have the access?! Even after booking through the portal.", said a person on reception in the primary health care center. 

"What else do you people need?", I thought. 

I haven't stepped out for a while, hence it seems claustrophobic whenever I see people's faces 

"Oh! How are you? Your health is ok now",said my neighbor aunty. 

" Yes,Aunty - every thing good", I replied as she knew about my fever past few days. 

Blogging, Playing Chess, Drinking Coffee, Eating, Drinking were on a loop. Am I put in this temporal anomaly forever because it seems like a curse in some ways and blessing in some. To add to my woes, I don't even have a vehicle to run errands Or go out for vegetable shopping.

"Mumma, give me my bike no! I don't want to walk to store~" , 

" When I break both your legs, you will know the value of them. Then I will see how you won't walk,"

shouted my mom. 

"What do you want to become ? See yourself! Look at yourself in the mirror~ you have become like a puppy only big one, now go and get me this list", 

She then made me some breakfast and coffee as I was up in the night till almost 3 '0 clock Blogging. 

Then I drank tea and then after half past 2 I drank a kattan chai.(A tea favorite to my mom) 

I m looking forward for a meaningful day with excitement, thrill, work, some laughs and there are only few people Sanguine enough to get me there my cute little niece, my aunt and my own company. I guess resting phase is over and in a week or so I will have to get back to work . 

"Now go and walk for 30 minutes", said my mom. 

We were getting the news of the deaths of many family members. "Ma Is there nothing we could do? See how people are dying! ", I cried. 

" Sometimes things are out of our hands, we can only take care of ourselves and pray nothing happens to our loved ones, stop beating yourself up and go sleep ", said my mom. 

When life throws up, better maintain social distance. 

So I'm better off with a mask on. 

Bye diary.
