I’ve been locked up like a prisoner in my own house for days and days within four walls. Although we are heading into winter, it will feel like the first day of spring because of all the excitement.

I’ve been chatting over the phone for so many days. “Sho majita, it’s been forever!” would always be the first words. I miss hanging out with my friends over a couple of cold drinks and crazy conversations, the buzz in my street alive with people busy with their daily routines.

I miss kota or bunny chow. I miss standing in the queue waiting to be served. The smell of the chips as they sizzle on the stove, the russian and the sauces – how I miss that! I will order the one with the most ingredients. I just can’t wait for my release date.
