Fast forward a few months and that is exactly what transpired with the entire world locked up in a matter to weeks waiting, fighting to overcome this invisible villain. Coronavirus, COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 has brought our life as we’ve known it to a screeching halt leaving the streets nearly empty and offices, malls, markets, restaurants, and multiplexes deserted with hospitals operating at maximum capacity trying to contain the evil unleashed by the virus. Delhi, our national capital and the Pride of India, which under normal circumstances is bustling with activity, roads packed with vehicles, with people, tells a similar story. Think Gotham from The ongoing lockdown though afforded us the opportunity to head out and experience Delhi at ease without the usual chaos that accompanies the city’s most famous roads, iconic monuments, and tourist hotspots.
