QUARENTINE EXPERIENCE
My Initial Days in Quarentine at Manipal University, Jaipur
At times, When Govt is fighting Day and Night to control the spread of this deadly virus; when everyday thousands of warriors walk towards the front line. How scary one can expect a scenario where you don’t know what not to touch!! It feels like to walk in a battlefield filled with land mines and hail storm of bullets coming, with every breath they take with fear in those chambers of hospitals filled with Corona patients, a single mistake and it’s all over for them.
But they have to do it!
And Yes, they do it, because it’s their duty.
But what is our duty? My duty?
I guess, I know the answer now, a few weeks back I have seen a lot of people complaining on social media about problems they face at quarantine centres. They feel uncomfortable there. Really uncomfortable? Try going to a hospital for a few days to treat a corona patient and then I will ask you how comfortable you'd be? On 12th April, unfortunately a Covid positive case came up in my PG in Jaipur. We knew that we are to be Sent in quarantine centres. So, we were mentally prepared, but on our way there were gossips about how worst these centre’s are! It was more of a nightmare to imagine how everyone of us are going to live in such conditions. But I kept quiet, I thought to myself, what is the best you can do in this situation for your people. I would gladly accept whatever facilities my Govt provides. As the bus reached the quarantine centre, we were properly registered and all of us were given separate single bed rooms with attached washrooms to stay. And you know what? It's beautiful! And the food, it's obviously not a five star meal but why are we here for? Still, it's satisfactory and edible with a moderate taste. Some people don't even get it on daily basis. We all are suspects of Covid-19 so this isn't going to be easy, we have realized we're not here for an outing. It's our Quarentine. Looking for the Negative (results) to be the best positive at this time.
Lastly, I would thank our government for their efforts.
