Life (and lies) in the Time of Quarantine
It has been a
little over 90 days since the country-wide lockdown. We are all in some social
and self-quarantine; under house arrest, badgered with domestic drudgery and of
course, living farcical life of delightful work from home. This pretty much
sums up my quarantine life. But I still
have a job… yes, and yes, I consider myself to be among the privileged few who
earns a salary, albeit at a 25% pay cut (and robbed of my hard-earned
incentives), at the end of the month. The quarantine
life is not at all what I imagined. Heck, I never thought I'd be without
options. Living in Mumbai, I'd never thought I would have to plan so much and
stay indoors not because I don't want to step out but because I am not allowed
to do so for my own safety!Okay, staying
home and social distancing is the right thing to do so ignore me and my
ranting.No place to go –
no fancy dinners, no long drives, no walks in the park or by the seaside, or
anything at all. Arrgghh such first world problems!…
