white a paragarph on my first outing after the lockdown
Answers
Several weeks in, though, the utter beige-ness of my days became hard to ignore. As restrictions eased, the city became a lure. The idea of revisiting some part of my old routine grew and I looked longingly back at the Saturdays when after a long swim at Talkatora stadium, I would drive through the quiet roads of central Delhi with the music on, and decide to extend that feeling of perfect contentment by making a stop to buy a new book on my way home. The Book Shop announced that they were ready to reopen, and I quietly rejoiced.
Among all the bookstores in Delhi, there isn’t another with which I’ve had as long an association as I have with The Book Shop. My earliest memories are of the Khan Market branch which was there all through my school and college days. I first began visiting with my mother who would take me there after work in her nearby government office. The trips usually involved buying stationery for school and often, a book as a treat. So even though the news of the pandemic had been alarming enough to have kept me indoors thus far, the need to be among physical books felt too hard to ignore.
It was a Saturday afternoon when I finally made the trip. It felt like an event: to dress differently, to swing my legs into the driver’s seat of my neglected car, to turn out of the colony gate and onto the main road. Driving in the city, particularly on quiet, hot afternoons has always been one of my favourite activities.
