We were not scared. We were only lonely because we were feeling our children are not here.
00:09
We were in Bombay when this disease was declared and our own society immediately stopped people
00:20
going out and coming in. They said nobody will come from outside and from going outside you go
00:29
with this mask and all that in the car and restrict your movements. So we didn't go out
00:34
anywhere till Rita went to Bombay and we have come here. I didn't go out anywhere.
00:43
There is a discipline. You follow the discipline and here also I have not gone outside since we
00:50
have come. We used to be careful about not going out and putting mask but actually we didn't put
00:57
the mask because our servants also stayed inside. We also stayed inside and we never opened the
01:02
windows. We never opened the windows or doors. Nothing was open and no visitor. I'm an early
01:08
riser. Having a cup of tea in the morning then I do my exercise. I do walking here
01:18
but in Bombay I used to do my yoga but along with yoga I have been doing my
01:24
puja. That I have not given up. I do prayers in the morning. I get up, I do prayer. I'm leading a
01:33
very normal life but exercise I must have. Every day? Every day except Sundays or some holidays.
01:45
I must do breathing exercises and all that. We were not scared. We were only lonely
01:53
because we were feeling our children are not here. We were not scared of anything because we had
01:58
three, four servants for us. We were very comfortable and we had a five-bedroom house
02:03
and a big hall. Everything nice. So we were not worried about anything. We were only thinking
02:10
that none of our children are with us. We had all other comforts except our children. Both of us we
02:16
were used to thinking that we are in that age. If something happens to one of us what will happen
02:22
to the other person. That was the only fear we had. Otherwise we had no other discomfort.
02:26
In our life must have been cholera and other things. We have been through so many.
02:35
Used to be there and typhoid fever. New Year should be better than what we have gone through now.
