It is so boring, so boring, I can’t tell you!” says Veena Iyer, repeating the two words so that there is no smidgen of doubt over how she feels about having to miss her twice-a-week dance classes. For Iyer and her friends, the afternoon classes at The Rising Groove Dance Academy in Mumbai’s Lal Baug meant a chance to meet friends, exercise and, of course, dance with gusto. “We used to look forward to it a lot. Otherwise, who will go out in the hot sun!” she exclaims.

For two weeks now, though, Iyer has been despondent as the classes have been cancelled. But she does not quibble over the reasoning. “They are doing it for our safety as we are more prone to it at our age,” she muses, referring to Covid-19, the current pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus that is sweeping the world. After all, Iyer and her dance-class batchmates are all over 60 (Iyer herself is 70), putting them squarely in the bracket of the age group most at risk from the virus.

In putting away their dancing shoes, the group of 10 enthusiastic women who would otherwise never skip a class join the rest of the country in a collective bid to stall the relentless march of Covid-19.

Flatten the curve, exhort researchers, referring to the steep rise in graphs showing the spread of the virus. Or we are a goner. Weeks into the battle against Covid-19, experts say the best way to achieve this is through social distancing. If crises come with their own vocabularies, the most used word in the Covid-19 pandemic would probably be social distancing, a term that’s seen as a 100-fold rise in Google searches. This involves not mixing with people — for work or play — not going out of our houses except for essentials and throwing life as we knew it out of the window so that hospitals are not inundated with coronavirus cases. It is an unprecedented behavioural change experiment that is seeing people slow down and rethink many things they took for granted.

For people like Anshul Akhoury, the shift to this “new normal” has been rather drastic. Akhoury, a freelance writer, belongs to the tribe of digital nomads who enjoy combining writing assignments with their love for backpacking. In fact, the 31-year-old should have been exploring the historic quarter of Hoi An in Vietnam or the stunning Kuang Si Falls in Laos as you read this. But Covid-19 meant he had to cancel this and three other work trips. Instead, he has confined himself to his parents’ home in Patna.

The lifestyle change has taken some getting used to. But Akhoury says he has been keeping himself busy by finishing pending assignments, editing videos for his new You-Tube channel and making his way through various books he had bought but never had the time to read. “I don’t like being idle,” he explains.

While Akhoury’s trips were for work, many people have also had to cancel holidays because of travel bans and practising social distancing as a precaution. For several years now, higher incomes and better connectivity meant everyone had gotten used to the idea of being able to pack their backs and head out without a second thought, whether for an impulsive weekend trip or a longer holiday. The shutting of borders and grounding of planes have put paid to the plans of even those who haven’t quite bought into the notion of social distancin
