Lockdown ramblings

Interesting how life gets transformed in a matter of hours.
Till yesterday, I could roam the world whenever I pleased.

Visiting a friend to catch up. 

Dropping in to a Fabindia to get a glimpse of their latest collection.

Driving to Forum to participate in the hustle-bustle of weekend revelries.

Picking up the latest best-seller from Landmark with a coffee in hand.

Missing family? Book the next flight to Kolkata.

Activities that seemed mundane and normal, have become a taboo now. 

March 12th was the day, when I went to one of fav places on earth last, ie., office. I crave for human company, but can only view them on video chat now. Work used to be fun, due to some great friends at work. Now I am not sure, when will I get to meet them next. WFH is so stressful,  long hours with hardly any break. Meal timings have gone for a toss. Confined to the four walls, home seems like a cage.

So what am I doing to keep my sanity intact? Apart from work, I am trying to spend some quality time with books. Have to finish "The Anarchy" this weekend. Its such a beautiful read replete with interesting details of the monstrous East India Company and its devilish plans to rule India. Just don't want it to end, hence reading slowly. William Dalrymple has proved yet again, that when it comes to history narratives, he is the ultimate best. I wish I could get my book signed by him...

I have become hyperactive on Insta. Posting pics of food, coffee and what not. Spoke to two of my very old besties last evening. Tasneem and Lucky.  Two most selfless and kind hearted people. They were such integral part of my life many years ago, and they continue to fill my life with such joy even today. Even a telephonic conversation with them is enough to fill my heart with warmth.

And I resolve to be more regular on my blog updates. Henceforth you will see more postings...more heartfelt conversations....more candid interfacing!

Till then, be engaged.
