SRINAGAR: On 20
th April my online editor, Tahir Bhat tested positive for COVID 19. I along with six other staffers of
Kashmir Life went into self-quarantine following contact with him.
Two days after the incident, when heavy rain lashed Srinagar, I went to Upper Primary Health Centre Batamaloo. I was of the opinion that it will take me few minutes to get tested for the novel Coronavirus but my perceptions turned topsy-turvy as it took me three hours to get tested.
While waiting in the long queue I got drenched in rain. Amid pushes and pulls, I tried to save my eyes from the sticks of the umbrella I was carrying.
