To, Todays !

 Sure, COVID deprives us of company. But what's worse is that it has also stolen the joy of solitude... 

of finishing mundane tasks and taking solitary walks

of enjoying a few raindrops on your face

of having a bad hair day because of that

of taking shelter at a random store that leads to a purchase - something you didn't really need

of listening to old favourites that transport you to another era

of missing old friends and acquaintances

and even times that weren't so good (but were still better than some days now)

of blaming the rickshaw wala for taking the longer route deliberately

I didn't know I missed myself so much.

Thank you, Today.
