The stillness speaks.
Restrictions calls for actions.
The silence is deafening.
COVID 19 has opened up new meanings to words.
The stillness of movement outside actually speaks. Be careful. Do not wander. Your energy now needs to halt.
The restrictions (lockdown) call for an action, actually. Stay indoors. Do not move out. You have done it all. Now is the time to stay put.
The silence shouts. It is time to restrain. It is time not to overhype. Be calm. The tide will run its due course.
It is strange how words have acquired new connotations, new meanings. The roads are deserted, but speak volumes. The interactions are virtual, but are intensely physical.
Preciousness has acquired new tones. Precious is not jewellery. It is a meeting with people. Precious is not your bank balance. It is just the yearning of a basic right to walk and talk.
All words have become new. All definitions are different. It just brings to light a fact…that life teaches us something new……at different times….in a different milieu.
