Quarantine brings Aasma, a band of four together for a virtual collaboration as they reminisce how their lives have changed post their dismemberment

Neeti Mohan, Sangeet Haldipur, Vasuda Sharma and Jimmy Felix
After our rage-inducing internet connections compel us to move from Zoom to a telephonic conference call, Jimmy Felix tells us that the members of revered 2000s pop band, Aasma, were put into a similar state of lockdown as we currently are in, in 2003. During the three months that interrupted their winning the reality show that led to their formation, and the televised airing of that declaration, they were confined to a hotel room. "Since we didn't get any junk food, I befriended a watchman, and had him get us biscuits and wafers from a general store. We'd fill a suitcase with that food, and call it, Jimmy General Stores," says Felix, as other members, including Vasuda Sharma, Neeti Mohan and Sangeet Haldipur, break into a laugh.
The lifestyle-modifications that have become part and parcel of this period of isolation are made evident in this chat. There's discussion about how Neeti loves doing 'jhaadu' owing to the physical demands of the task, why a certain sabziwala continues to incessantly call Jimmy, and how household chores keep Sangeet from making live videos for fans. Put together, this cluster needs no one to stay entertained. We let them take over.
