A national Lockdown was declared in India on 25th March 2020 to fight the pandemic Corona Virus. The whole of the nation barring the essential services came to a halt.

Not in thin air but locked inside their own homes. This is a collection of thoughts about the human behavior of those locked in their homes as also about those who do not have any home.

This book is about Biscuit Moments. In our parlance, biscuit is often pronounced as ‘biscut’. Phonetically written as /’bis.ku:t/. The second syllable rhymes with ‘put’ instead of ‘pit’. Biscuits represent pleasantness and comfort, safety, and softness for everyone. They transcend distance, time and monetary means with their endearing soft crunch. Their mild sweetness. Their richly warm “apnapan”. Life is about Biscuit Moments. Moments which are like Biscuits: small and sweet, sometimes crisp, sometimes soft. Small musings on refrigerator magnets and pressure cooker whistles. Intimate observations on jackets-shakets, dancing and socks. Languid reflections on monsoon, birdsong and chiffon dupattas. Such Biscuit Moments sweeten our everyday. O have biscut.
