narrative essay on after the lockdown
Answers
Answer:
The world is grappling with an invisible, deadly enemy, trying to understand how to live with the threat posed by a virus. For some writers, the only way forward is to put pen to paper, trying to conceptualize and document what it feels like to continue living as countries are under lockdown and regular life seems to have ground to a halt.
So as the coronavirus pandemic has stretched around the world, it’s sparked a crop of diary entries and essays that describe how life has changed. Novelists, critics, artists, and journalists have put words to the feelings many are experiencing. The result is a first draft of how we’ll someday remember this time, filled with uncertainty and pain and fear as well as small moments of hope and humanity.
OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime are experiencing heavy traffic ever since the lockdown was declared. Though many aspiring filmmakers and artists are using this time to watch movies and TV shows’, Vishnu Udayan, an award-winning short-film director, thought of using this time to create a web series based on lockdown. After roping in his friend Kiran Ashokan to the project, the duo released ‘Corona Kaalathe Jeevitha Kazchakal’, which depicts stories of everyday life.
“The first few days of the lockdown were spent watching movies. But I got bored and began wondering what I can do to keep myself engaged. I was on a video call with my friends and I found out that one friend had his wedding postponed due to this. Another is stuck in London. This gave me an idea to bring to light such stories from lockdown times,” says Vishnu. The first episode premiered on April 4. Vishnu’s previous production ‘Waft’ won many awards.
