March 13th an official notice is served, soon in couple of days whole world went under lock down. Newspapers soon stopped printing. My online book delivery was cancelled and as residential area was declared contentment zone. Ambulance siren, empty roads filled with silence. A rising heart beat could easily be heard. Elderly were sad and worried. Young were nerves with the very thought of lockdown. The mind went numb and I cling to my books. One after another so many I cleared, it gave me hope, and it gave me strength and the same I passed it to my family.
