An oral tradition of storytelling existed before books were written and published. Mothers sang songs to their children to lull them to sleep, and stories of adventure, valour, romance and bravery fed our imagination. Enid Blyton’s ‘Malory Towers’ was devoured and ‘The Famous Five’ were our undercover agents in crime detection. ‘The Panchatantra’ had us lamenting the naïveté of monkeys who hope to ride crocodiles unscathed, and ‘Aesop’s Fables’ made us cheer for the tortoise, and reject the arrogance of the hare.

Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.” — Bertolt Brecht We are trapped in the middle of a maelstrom, and can slowly feel ourselves being sucked deeper and deeper in the abyss of darkness. The images of people dying — with desperate and helpless family members scurrying for basic requirements — assault our sense of humanity. One feels stretched and shipwrecked with the sinking feeling of many things that one held precious being lost. This makes one turn inwards and search for those spaces within one’s imagination and ferret out something precious, something human.

3249 Neelam Mansingh Chowdhry When will anyone want to be in a dark room full of strangers again, I ask myself over and over again. Theatres are shut, time seems frozen and tomorrow is a distant dream.
