The country has been in lockdown since March 25th due to the widespread of pandemic. The usual isn’t usual or normal anymore. People have lost track of their daily routines, dates and days. There’s silence in the street and beneath silence there’s fear. Our daily lives have turned monochromatic. Somehow we are realizing that being busy was a blessing.

In the beginning, it was very tough to adapt to the new normal of being a prisoner, new norms of safety, and a new routine to pass long summer days. Everyone in my home wakes a bit late compared to earlier days. There’s no rush in the morning to get ready, have breakfast, and racing to office. My father satisfies his cooking fantasies and tries recipes from various from TV shows. Even the cat is having great food time with us. Days proceed with cleaning, prayers, random chit chats, and most importantly on phone.

While we are having half shifts or no shifts at all our phones are working overtime during the lockdown. Text, call, and video call numbers are higher than ever. My elder brother is leaving no news unread and the younger is having a big dig at games.

Though we start our days together and talk among ourselves but somewhere we split and end up only being with our phone. I wonder have we been living our lives in virtual prison-like we are living as prisoners during the lockdown.
