The lockdown
Waiting in a queue...
One metre apart from each other...
Outside a supermarket...
I felt all the differences a few days of lockdown made...
The patient discipline of shoppers..
None is in a hurry..
The air is cool in a March morning..
A pleasant breeze through hair..
No haphazard parking on the road..
No honking decibels..
The golden blooms of konnappoo reminded of the upcoming Vishu..
When the tree showered blossoms on me...
I suddenly felt, we are being forgiven...
Forgiven for all the damage we caused..
The crisis is soon to be over..
The big human engine will slowly start to move soon..
