SIX SHOTS OF LIFE
There’s negativity all around but we will focus on the positivity. Our editor picks shots of life that bring a smile
A LOCKDOWN DATE THAT DOESN’T END!
Matt Robertson and Khani Le from New York City met on a dating app, and after two dates, decided to take an adventurous trip for five days. And then the lockdown happened and their short trip turned into the longest one of their lives! The couple is stuck in Costa Rica for the last 60 days, and they intend getting matching tattoos of the Costa Rican expression Pura
Vida - “simple life”.
THIS IS THE INDIA WE LOVE
Members of the Sikh community set a heartwarming example of religious harmony as they sanitised Jama Masjid in Delhi, ahead of Eid. The mosque authorities were touched by their gesture, and thanked them wholeheartedly. This is what defines our identity, the India entwined in our soul.
THIS PAPAYA IS TRULY A STAR
Our reader, Kamal Jit Singh, found a star-shaped papaya and it reconnected him with longlost friends! “This papaya made my day! I could not stop clicking and sharing it with everyone, even those I had not been in touch with for ages,” he says. The lockdown has helped us find joy in little, everyday things. Nothing in life is to be taken for granted, not even celestial papaya!
KHAKI TUJHE SALAM
Someone sent this picture of ASI Ratan Singh, feeding pigeons, to Gunjan Anant, SHO Amar Colony. These feathered little fellows gather on the footpath to enjoy their meal served by Singh. “Ever since the lockdown started, people could not feed birds. So Singh took charge. He saves a portion of his salary and uses it to feed birds while patrolling around the city,” says the SHO.
