Explanation:
I tell myself that this is the time to channel my concentration into doing something useful. But I simply cannot. My mind is disturbed with the sufferings around me—people dying trying to get home, nearly half the population down to their last penny of savings? People at this time have been reduced to mere statistics, which tends to fuel fear every passing day. I tune my ear to the news in hope of hearing something heartening, something to hold on to, but all I hear is a manifold increase in the number of infections and deaths. In the face of such a massive global crisis, my worries about my own anxieties and a silly writer’s block matter little.
The afternoon passes. With the onset of evening, the news channels inform us that the numbers have risen. I stare at the sky long enough to see the sun disappear, as a frightening silence engulfs me again.
These days, I utter a prayer to no one in particular, every night before going to sleep—a prayer born out of helplessness and despair. I drift off to the tune of Harry Styles’ ‘Sign of the Times’. The lines “We can meet again somewhere/Somewhere far away from here” keep coming back to me—and I wish, each day, that we wake up the next morning in a place far from where we are now.
