Urban Skies under the spell of COVID-19  - Trisha Das 

​Clean blues skies, three words I haven’t used in succession in many years. In Delhi, you never really see the sky or the stars at night, and when you claim you do, a prompt question always follows “Are you sure it wasn’t an airplane?” As a person who has lived here for over ten years, my relationship with the sky was pretty non-existent. Smog, smoke, and its brothers filled up the air and our lungs and clear skies were something you only witnessed on holiday and returned to tell your friends about it.

​Pollution combined with a hectic work life simply doesn’t allow one the time to appreciate the beauty of the sky. This year due to the pandemic, I like many others have only my window to experience the world around me, giving time to see the ever-changing skies set up displays that are not only breathtaking but awe-inspiring.

​This is my humble attempt at capturing the magic the sky has to offer through the lens of my cell-phone.
