Day 2/21 (Corona Diaries)
Before starting with this piece, let me make it clear:No, maids are not on a holiday.
Choose your words wisely (Jk).
It's Day 2 and has anything changed? Except that Corona is increasing in leaps and bounds and making you feel even more anxious about breaking free and getting a pizzzzzzzzzaaaaa !You know what sucks the most? Staying away from your loved ones:)
And surprisingly, the feeling of seeing or meeting them in person increases even more, especially during such hideous times.It's strange that a normal or almost a long-lost relative whose whatsapp message had been rotting in your inbox since weeks (months, in my case) is something that triggers you to get back and rebuild your relation even on a bare-bones foundation just because the dishes have been terribly messing with your banal, raw emotions and because you'd do just about anything and everything to break free from this quarantine.Phew! That was a long sentence!Anyway,Life is a hot mess, yet peaceful.
What a paradox!Undoubtedly, the only happiest person right now is the Universe.
Sorry for the uncanny personification!
But let me declare this today,
Universe is the hero of my piece.
In my story, Universe is actually at the centre of the Universe.Someone who stays as a silent spectator despite being the central figure, the protagonist.Hush! I shouldn't be divulging all the details because this hero can listen to everything....
He/She/Both can listen to us talking
He/She/Both can listen to the sound of the water from the tap and the force with which it hits the upside-down surface of the pan in which I had cooked an omelette this morning.
Certainly, there is an immense pleasure in doing the dishes when you know it has almost become a ritual.What if the sink was a vast space, almost like the universe into which you can throw just anything and it will be lost forever!
Has anyone thought of dumping Corona in there?And may be you can find all the mysteries of Universe in that virus. What if humans were never really a part of it?
What if it was just about the universe and virus all this while with humans acting as a side-kick to keep the drama going....And if you're still thinking that this write-up was all about dishes or at least was gonna be on dishes,
I am sorry,
But I have a stream-of-consciousness-induced-mind.
P.S: Let's not ignore dishes!
