I always look twice at photographs
taken before the age of corona.
such as this photo
of a sunny day in Cubbon park
circa 2012
I don't think Bengaluru got any better after that day
nor India
nor the world
and so I can only wish that the warmth of the sunlight beaming through the trees on this sunset-eve in Cubbon park
can keep you warm too
I hope you will listen to a song you listened to in 2012
and feel that warmth return
and I hope 2012 can return for those who enjoyed
and remain long gone for those who hated it
