Home Quarantined Day - the Last 1

I am not at all getting in to exactly how many days I stay locked in this room.

I did not complete the course, neither Dark Season 3, nor the Book and didn't click a lot. I just kept working, on this or that stuff, cold calling people, and watched a lots of movies and web-series. But not Dark S03 - it's too intense; 3 timelines now intertwined with 2 alternate dimensions! I love all these complexities, absolutely, but the series is too heavy.

I couldn't complete the course I intended to - was not at all in mood. One day, however, I did set up the camera and the flash and the stand - but like always camera battery died, and I have been too lazy to recharge. A few random shots like the above one and the one below - I didn't do much.

But, I kept keeping track of my body temperature and it never crossed the normal number. So, I am good and finally yesterday when Hospital confirmed that "I can live my life", my wife agreed to put an end to this "no-good for anybody" situation. I am literally tired, knees paining, locked in a room - though regularly doing 30 mins workouts and living life like a King - except everything is served at the door; and, my wife and mother-in-law have been sweating out working as bonded labours. My kid is just the icing over the cake, adding to more work though with intense euphoria.

Almost 10 days in the room with all the luxuries of an attached bathroom, laptops, cellphones, tablet and camera and above all good home cooked food - I am just inches away from depression. Now I can understand why people put on institutional quarantine are running away leaving no trace.

Anyways, I won't be bragging much of 10days "free food no chores" life, and truly looking forward to a regular life tomorrow onward doing some home work and above all changing diapers, cuddling with boy (only if allowed). But, one thing that I would like to mention here is "stay safe", take care of yourself and your loved beings - this is no doubt the new normal, and here to stay - but that doesn't mean you do all your misadventures and put yourself or the near and dear ones in panic and pain.

Take care, and don't wait - I may or may not write soon again.

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...
