Kanni Konna Bloom at Chalakuzhy Road

Everyday brings depressing news from all corners. The fatalities from the pandemic is growing, with Italy bearing the blunt of this virus. There’s lot of suffering, pain, and agony around us. In Kerala, 37 new cases where reported in one day.

Everyday, I wait for the evening press release by CM’s press. However, day by day the figures of positive cases are just climbing new levels. The worst hit is Kasargod.

We are on the third day of the 21 day lock-down. Today, after a break of two days, I decided to go out for a walk. I went out by 5:30 and reached home early. The streets were empty except for the clueless dogs which are scattered on the road from Kumarapuram to KIMS Hospital. Everything is on a standstill and I hope there will be some slow-down of positive cases that are reported daily.

Now, there’s not much we can do. Hope for some positive news.

Tomorrow, everyone going out should wear a mask and I luckily found one.
