Just like mutations, even a new kind of mask takes getting used to. Irrespective of its thickness. But I'm getting sick of masks now, maybe because I'm staring at another onslaught of new infections in the city.
I think the trip to hometown spoilt me. V and I discarded the masks after the second day, we travelled in a crowded bus(yes!! Though that was with the mask and a lot of misgivings afterwards), we travelled in the city, trekked, shopped, walked and it felt like normal life after so so long. Now to come back and think of that as an aberration is becoming very difficult.
I'm buying a piece of our beloved gudde. I had(as had all of us around) feared for the future of that hill and when I saw a broken rock nearby, the decision came quickly. Of course it helped that Auntie and Maama have bought the piece next to it already. Aayi was inexplicably upset about it the first day but now she's upbeat about it. And the bonus has been our neighbour N thanking me for saving the rock. I don't remember chatting with him so much in years.
