As soon as the lockdown started, tiring times began. The girls’ hostel in Navy Nagar, where I had been staying, had asked everyone to go home a week earlier. So, the students had left. The working women were asked to stay, but then flights were halted. Many went to their local guardians, but I lived in the Army mess for a week, and then the Navy House for three months, all alone.
