TIRUCHY: The second wave of Covid-19 has not only claimed the lives of a lot of people, but also created a strong negative impact on the mental health of people.
The fear of receiving bad news has led to many of them hating the very idea of answering a phone call.
Charubala hates picking up her phone nowadays as she had been hearing the news of some of her kin or friends dying, almost every day. She jumps in fear every time phone rings.
"My entire family tested positive last year, but we all recovered. Now, one by one, we are losing many of our relatives and friends. Even the news of those unknown to me dying is kind of affecting me. It makes me wonder how many more lives this dreaded virus is going to claim," says Charubala.
