When you have no way to contact anyone or receive calls because your money is over a little something from a kind supporter help. You have a regular job, but the lockdown has you on tenterhooks. The office is still temporarily closed. The school that you teach at cannot pay you the salary you are entitled to, or your employer flat out refuses that s/he cannot pay you. What is the next option? Supporters can tide you over for a while, but after that, what? Not everyone can help out. Putting food on the table, paying EMI’s, utility bills, ways to stretch the notes, is a constant with no let-up around the corner. None of us have a clue as to whether this pandemic will ease. And if it does, what is the new normal? Educational institutions remain shut for obvious reasons. Transport is hit and it is the common person who has to face the brunt. Walking and using vehicles sparingly is the norm. Honesty, we don’t know if we will be able to fund ourselves if petrol prices increase
A little bit of this and that and then some.
