Filling in any government form online brings on anxiety attacks at the prospect of a series of illogical questions. The Kerala online health declaration form is easier to navigate than most, but I still needed my elder brother by my computer. In one of my previous jobs, I was a travel editor, but averse even then to travelling in peak holiday season. It was a holiday in an unhurried beach destination that also seemed like time travel, by contrast to our age of riotous beach parties in Goa. Having authored a travel book, Right of Passage, more than a decade ago, I am now bizarrely happier at home than travelling.
