This is a drone camera clip of Pune yesterday when we went into voluntary total curfew following an appeal from our Prime Minister.
From today till the 31st of March, the curfew like situation will no longer be voluntary. We have to stay indoors except for emergencies.
There is no traffic and therefore one can now hear the sound of insects and cicadas that we had stopped hearing for decades. The air is cleaner and last night, we could see the stars for a change. we can hear the birds sing and our garden is suddenly full of butterflies.
I am catching up with a lot of reading after my regular dose of solving crossword puzzles. Thankfully, the news papers have not been stopped from publishing and delivering papers to homes.
I have a feeling, shared by many of my friends that after this drama’s curtains come down, may be even after a few months, our lives will be of a different nature than they have been over the past few decades.
