Pretty bad. Lost a lot of close people to COVID.
I’m sorry. It’s so so tragic
I’ll be honest: they’ve been hard. I’m lucky enough to be safe- my family and friends have not been affected adversely by the brutal second wave that ravaged India. But just waking up each day and seeing the news has been difficult.
Now that things are a little better, I’m able to reflect and say that I was angry. I continue to be angry and frustrated at the colossal government failures that have got us here, to a place where over a million people died of avoidable causes. My neighbour died. My friends’ friends died. Every day I saw desperate appeals for oxygen and hospital beds on social media. Was this an ordinary citizen’s job to procure?
So many days went by where I felt like my cat Toast. Boxed in and unable to go anywhere.
Hope better days are on the horizon soon for all of us.
