Overheard

Anu : "Ajja, I know you are much older than me but can you be a little like me this year? Look at me, I haven't gone out of the house since March because it's risky. Aayi had cough and fever some days ago. If it was Coronavirus, I may have also got it without showing symptoms. But I still won't go out. Both you and I are high-risk people. Promise me that you'll wear a mask whenever you go out and you'll not shake hands with anyone. And tell Ajji that I won't listen to a single thing she says if she doesn't listen to me!"

My grandfather's shradhdha, which is on 25th of July, is making us all concerned now.
