The Hindu
Amid the gloom of the pandemic, comedian Amit Tandon is hosting sessions with people who have tested COVID-19 positive and are quarantining alone
When we catch up with standup comedian Amit Tandon on the phone from Mumbai, he is in good spirits. He has just finished the first two sessions of his new project #TalkPositive where he gets on a call with COVID-19 positive patients who are stuck alone, in quarantine, everyday. With the second wave hitting the nation, Amit confesses he had been down in the doldrums. “I started this project on an impulse. The second lockdown has been quite frustrating, harder than the first one because back then, it seemed like there is some light at the end of the tunnel,” he says.
