Fighting anxiety and restlessness during his stay at the Laxmi Business Park Corona Care Centre in Andheri West led 26-year-old animation writer Balram Vishwakarma to come up with an idea that would help those under quarantine at the centre deal with negative thoughts. He has started distributing colouring books and colour pens among the patients in coordination with centre head Dr. Kusum Gupta, so that the activity keeps them busy.

Vishwakarma was admitted to the centre on May 6, just a day after he tested positive for COVID-19. Speaking to mid-day, he said, "I stayed at the centre till May 11 and was shifted to RN Cooper Hospital from where I was discharged three days later. During my stay I spoke to Dr. Gupta about the initiative and consulted a number of patients there as well. After completing my quarantine period I started visiting the centre every week to counsel the patients." He further said that he used to have severe headache during his stay at the hospital and his mind would be filled with negative thoughts.
