“Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier, and simpler.”

​

This assignment is a documentation of my emotional journey through this pandemic. This assignment encapsulates Fear, Chaos, Numb, and Calm.

​

Initially, when the pandemic started, the predominant emotion everyone faced was fear. It was the fear of the virus, fear of falling sick, fear of death, fear of losing the job, etc. But soon, this fear led to chaos. Lockdowns were announced, and people started hoarding. They hoarded medical supplies, food, drinks, tissues - whatnot. And this led to chaos. People were panicking. Supermarkets were out of sanitizers, tissues, food, etc., and people were frantically looking for them. The fear and never-ending confusion continued to a point where most of the people fell numb. We were constantly exposed to failing healthcare infrastructures, which contributed to a lot of people dying. We were constantly exposed to the havoc Covid-19 created in our lives that, to date, this episode of Black Mirror hasn’t ended.

Amidst all this, I can only wish we see the light at the end of this tunnel soon - Calm.
