One year to this rainy morning in Mussoorie. Standing outside LBSNAA entry: completely clueless, totally excited, and very grateful (just like hundreds every year haha). Still clueless, still excited, and still grateful.

In all the years I have lived away from home, I’ve always longed for the masala chai that my father makes. He grinds the masala in proportions only he knows best and today after making myself a cup of chai with the masala he sent in my cargo, I’m worried I didn’t ask for enough

Exactly one year ago, my 21 months long self-imposed home lockdown ended. The cumulative decades preceding these months hadn’t prepared me for this sort of self-isolation. Before I could realise it, I was talking to (pictured above) walls. Getting stuck is an awful feeling. 1/5

If you think you are privileged during these unparalleled times, do help in whatever way possible for you. This virus might not have touched your life (and I hope it never does) but there’s a crucial lesson in empathy that this virus and isolation is going to teach us all. 5/5

Irrespective of where you’re stuck during this lockdown, idea of life coming to a screeching halt is agonising. Nonetheless, some of us are going to pick essential life skills we never had the time for. Some are going to catch up on enough sleep to power through this year. 2/5
