Insecure and afraid, when I stepped out of my home today- my safe place
Maybe now I can understand how a baby feels when it comes out of the womb- its safe place

I can recall how I felt when I got ready to face the world just after passing  from my school-my safe place

I am scared, paranoid, frightened & a little confused

This is no where close to what any of us had imagined

My life, just like yours , have been divided into two parts

Pre corona  and post corona

The lockdown has almost been lifted and we all have come back to our "normal lives"

But, here I am, thinking is it really normal ? How do we define the normal now?

Will it no more be normal to Meet & hug my best friend anymore?

Will it no more be normal to eat and gossip about everything & anything sitting in a sweet little cafe?

Will it no more be normal to lend a helping hand to an old soul ?

Will it no more be normal to visit the places that once used to be my safe place?

Nothing's the same anymore

Nothing's normal anymore

Today was the first day I met people outside my safe place, my home

And it's is not same anymore
Everyone had a hint of fear behind their smiles,Human is afraid of human,Family members are afraid of each other


And here I am sitting lost in the train of my thoughts Hoping for a time machine to take me back to old times. So that I can  do every little thing in a different feel all together. So that I feel like a human again, feel like being myself again.

In retrospect- I feel immensely blessed for all those little leisure times I had.
Just give me back that life, once that used to be my real life

The life that used to make me and everyone around me happy for no reason at all.
