Quarantine Monologue-I

The elderly woman reflects on how the fast-paced city life has slowed down during the quarantine. She is happy to now receive care and company from her family, like being fed by her daughter-in-law and grandson coming to see her. The sounds of birds singing outside her window and the comfort of her family have given her relief during this time. While a house help could provide care, nothing compares to the bonds of love within a family.

‘Quarantine Monologue-I’

-Roshan Kumar Lohani

Scene:

Ek budhi aurat jo ek shant kaamre me baithi hui hai or akhbar padhte padhte chasme ko
utar kr kinare rkhte hue kehti hai..

“Jane ye duniya ke waqt ka pahiya kaab tk thaama rahega,

Wo shor-sharabe wali bhor achanak se kb kal bnke aa jayegi,

Mujh jaisi budhiya ke liye to yahi samay badhiya hai,

Kaam-aas-kaam do waqt ki roti to apne bete-bahu ke hathon se kha pati hun,

Waarna rozmarra ki bhag-daud bhaari zindagi me khud ko bhi ek niwala fursat se khilane ka
waqt kahan unke pas,

Wo char sal ke apne pyare se pote ka nanhe kadmon se mere pas aana aur apne muh se
ghanto dadi-dadi kehna,

Ye sunke to ab dil pighal aata hai,

Usey apne goad me sula raja-rani aur pariyon ki khanaiyan suna is budhiya ke dil ko tasalli
mil jati hai,

Waarna to roz ke dinon ke liye bahu ne kya Nanny rkh li hai us masoom ka dhyan rkhne ke
liye,

Pata hai ab to mere kamre ki khidki ke bahar wapas se koyal ki kuhu-kuhu aur chote chote
chiraiyon ki chahchahat sunai dene lagi hai,

Na jane shehar ke haar roz ke shor-sharabon or dhool-mitti me ye kahan apna basera chipa
lete the,

Ab haar rat sone se pehle bahu hi mujhe dawaiyan aur garma-garm haaldi wala dudh de jati
hai,

Or mera beta mere sir per hath fer mujhe sula jata hai,

1
Is budhiya ki to ankhein bhaar aati hai,

Zindagi ke roz ki thakan se acha to ye band hi hai,

Dhaalti umaar me budhape ki lathi wapas se jud to gayi,

Warna kaam wali bai paise leke sewa to kr deti hai,

Per ghar-pariwar ke motiyon ko pyar ke dhage avi hi piro pa rahe hai,

Bs avi hi piro pa rahe hai….”
