The days of the week have blurred, and we can't make out the difference between weekend and weekdays. Every night, we tune into actor Arunoday Singh's Instagram handle @sufisoul to hear him recite a poem or two in his deep, dramatic voice. From Television by Roald Dahl and Defeat by Kahlil Gibran, to Jalaluddin Rumi's love poems and William Wordsworth's Daffodils, Singh shares his love for poetry with his followers. Each night, he pulls out a gem and presents it to the viewers.

In an email interview, he tells us, "Compared to the real work that our doctors and police are doing to contain the virus, it feels highly futile considering the sacrifices and suffering out there. But it's what I'm able to do and if it helps a little bit it's better than not doing anything at all. It [the state the world finds itself in] doesn't feel good. But it helps keep me focused on something that is positive."
