It initially started a joke in trhe first week of March when we heard that the corona had squealed it way into Kerala.Without knowing any of the details or the severity and size and proportion i was goimng to assume,i went to star market and picked up basic stuff and also called the office boys and told them to store and stock basic stuff
move on to the mid march when news about the cororna raising its head in different places started to appear in the media.We were still going out and though being careful there was a unsee fear lurking in the air ,a fear to touch what others had touched
the Janata curfew of the Sunday which was announced by the Pm sounded a little to difficult to maintain. not to step out the whole day.well its was fun at the end of that day when we had everyone at their windows clapping for the first ten mins and then playing the music of clanging bells .it created a lot of positive vibe and was supposed to have done some alignment to do with the position of the planets etc.i didn't delve to much in to the science.but it definitely got all members clapping and banging away to make some noise !
move to April 13
Life pretty much turned 360 degrees
after the Janata curfew we deiced not to keep the maids and then the lockdown was announced
that pretty much change our way of life
our entire life style changed
colleges and schools closed
shops closed\
people no longer stepped out
the same cops whom we thought were lazy and inefficient suddenly became our guardians and saviours and people that we rooted and cheered for
they held the fabric of the city from collapsing
we were in the the safety confines of our house watching tv,spending time with kids and being safe while they roamed around the city with the merciless summer sun beating on their backs
there was no more meaning ti the word public
more than two people were not allowed to be together
the efficient machinery of the health services and the healthcare sector swung into action quickly
we owe them our lives and are deep;y indebted to them for the selfless and dediciated service they have been rendering
one by one,the main hospitals of Mumbai had to be shut down and sealed as the doctors and nurses got infected,after all they didn't really have the best of the protection gear not did they think too much about their safety ,they were busy saving lives and God gave them the much needed rest as they were literally working 20 of the 24 hours .
with the lockdown life completely changed
all business establishments were shut save for the medical stores and the essential items
the way we shopped chnged.things began to became svcares,supply chanins were affectewd
thousads of Migrant workers from other states tried to flee in what ever way theuy could to reach their home towns,some made it most didnt ,a good number of them got stuck in a nomans land with no food to keep them going and no roof iover their head
desperate desolated lonely and bitter ,they huddled together to keep themn selves alive
and then happenend the Nizamuddin episode where amettiumg of large numbers in close proximity happened and then like wild tentacles they reached out and moved around and carried the spread of the various to various pockets in India.They went into hididng,locating most of them was a herculean task .the dam,age was already done,i dodnt know if they did it out of vengence igorance or arrogance
it didnt seem a episode that could be brushed aside lightly.they did a lot of damage
they way we planned changed
churches mosqiues and temple were closed for pretty much the first time in our living times
services and were suspended and it became a punishable offence
never ever in thye time i know has Good Friday and Easter not gone by without us or foljs attending the church services
well it came to rhat .one had to be careful one cold not step out whgere the dangers of the spread of corona affecting c
