Caved

 Returned home to Bandra.

Spent some time with my brother and sister-in-law. Watched a few videos. Warmed up a bowl of rice and daal, had a couple of Kombuchas, and picked up reading my novel again. Then slept off. I could hear ambulances hurrying past at night.

To have a little space to retreat into is a very deep privilege. Am very grateful for this.
