Lisa Ray Instagram – This. Please read and take its message to your heart ❀️ this is not my story, but shared by my friend @amutedstory and as such, brings a poignantly personal, human element to the tragedy unfolding in India on our screens for those of us who are not in India right now πŸ™πŸΌ
Posted @withregram β€’ @amutedstory Eight years ago, while I was still living in Paris, I caught infectious mononucleosis. Those who have had experience with the dreaded virus will attest to how much and how long-lasting the fatigue is. In my case, the early throat and gland symptoms lasted for close to two months, but the lack of energy and tiredness stayed with me for a whole 6 months.
.
At the time I had a full-time job and no partner, which meant that I lived alone and cooked all my meals myself. Anyone who has grown up in an Indian family setup is of course not used to being sick alone, and I predictably struggled with getting my energy back. As all Indian mothers do, mine went into overdrive worrying, and frantically called up friends to see if there was anyone who could check in on me (all except one of my non-Indian friends refused to visit, for fear of catching it themselves).
.
One day the doorbell rang and a petite young girl with twinkling eyes stood at my door with a box full of khichdi made in ghee. She held it out to me, introduced herself as a relation of a family friend, chatted with me a bit and left. It was a small gesture, but I had been feeling so alone that I cried with gratitude at her kindness after she left. We kept in touch sporadically but then she moved back to India to start a family and we drifted apart.
.
Today I learned that the same girl passed away after giving birth to her second child due to Covid-related complications. There is no measure to my sorrow at the moment, but I hope wherever she is, she finds peace. To all on social media who are reaching out and helping each other, remember that even the smallest of gestures can go a long way. Be that memory for someone. The kindness of friends is one thing, but of strangers is something else.

Lisa Ray Instagram – Look at me
says the world with a harlequin grin.
A man is carrying his shards on tv
for the giant maws
that open wider
while someone changes the batteries of the remote.
On another screen
Mara resurrects in calligraphic roars
a primal cauldron of savagery and pelting chants,
as a river of tongues-
all pink, plum and un-iridescent hued-
bay for the Dream House.
We watch the covenant collapsing under its awnings
like cardboard dreams
in the thousands.
And here,
another bonfire of grief
cheap plastic sandals falling away in rhythm as he walks,
bearing the bodies
on thin brown ankles
while the keywords
of the nation
are laid like elephant bones
across the burning sky.
Ducking, dodging, mourning, adapting
whatever comes next-
What’s after β€˜safe distancing’? 
And how to hear the careless whispers of our palms
when the kindness of monsters
has reached the other shore
  when there’s just not enough oars.
 
~
 
You think you know this world
Asks the crow
Who appears quietly
As paint drying
And speaks like an ancestor.
 
You watch the fibre of your fate
Disappear down his throat
Nibble by nibble
He will not be overlooked.
Gulps
And then what does he say?
Stop projecting
Unhappy endings
When wild jasmine blooms
On battlefields
And the songs we need
smoulder in ditches of mustard gases
 
There are ancient forests in your eyes
That have seen more
  Much more
 
You call this an ending
Only if you are looking for one
 
When the smoke is stored
in shadows and memory cabinets 
You will cry like me at the frayed edge of every morning
 
For there is no safety from beginnings
The trick, he offers as he swallows
The last branch of my lifeline
Is not to see it as betrayal
But an eviction
From the mad tyrant’s court
 
And a return to the wetlands
of pilgrim hope and stubborn human hearts
