Day2

Counting the positives first. My husband's nephew, who lives in Pune, says he's learning to cook now. He was dependent on dabbawallahs but now he can cook some basic dishes and he can make tea. He says he never imagined he would struggle to get a cup of tea in Pune. Pune has become the epicentre of COVID-19 in Maharashtra and he says his friends who returned to their villages a couple of weeks ago are being treated like outcasts.

And I got in touch with some of my friends and relatives who I'd not heard from or spoken to for long. It was nice. The best part was that Sir said he was reading Lord of the Rings. It felt like old times.

On the flip side, my house is looking very big, now that I have to clean it by myself. And I feel like rationing everything. Actually I'm glad to be a working woman, especially now. It's good to have something else on my mind at least half the day.

Most of Anu's friends have steadily moved out of the apartment over the last two weeks or have decided not to leave their homes and she's left with only two now. She's not giving up yet.
