It was a dark gloomy day, the sky was filled with dark clouds and it was going to start raining at any moment. The sun didn’t rise yet, the lights in my room were turned off, dimly lit by the light coming from outside. I was sitting by the window looking outside. Suddenly I felt that someone was in my room, I heard some soft noises. I looked around and saw that a short old man was standing in the corner of my room. I did not feel scared, I felt as if it is something normal. I went to him and asked him what is he doing in my room at this odd time. He told me that he was a guest in my neighbor’s home, but entered my home by mistake. I believed him and didn’t think anything much of it.
The next day I found the same old man in my room around the same time in the morning. I again asked him that what was he doing in my room? This time he told me that he is here to deliver food from FoodPanda. But I did not remember ordering any food online, at that time I did not thought of checking whether he had the food parcel with him or not.
This was during the COVID-19 outbreak, I noticed that the man was not wearing any mark or gloves for protection. If he is going to deliver food to another house he might infect them or get infected with the virus. So I decided to buy him a mask and a pair of gloves from the pharmacy. We got out of my house and started walking towards the nearby pharmacy.
While walking to the pharmacy I gave him a short lecture that why it is import to wear a mask. I also thought about telling him the importance of wearing gloves but did not get the chance to tell him.
When we got near the pharmacy I gave him BDT 20 ( 0.24 USD) to buy a mask and make sure to wear it properly before he heads out to deliver food.
Then I started walking but in the opposite direction of my home. While walking I imagined myself as a university professor, but a very angry professor. All my students fear me because I shout in the class a lot!
END OF DREAM, I WOKE UP
