Have you ever wondered what common household items, which apparently do not have a voice of their own, would talk? Would they discuss and share their feelings amongst themselves? They may be just as elated, frustrated, irritated, or perplexed by this global lockdown/quarantine imposed by most countries, as any ordinary human being.
In this 'Lockdown conversations' series, I have attempted to portray the ordeals of common household items in these uncertain and unprecedented times of global quarantine amid COVID-19 scare.
