Lockdown Life

 If I'd called you on 1 January 2020 at mid-night and told you that a teeny-tiny microscopic virus  which we can't even see is going to turn this world upside down , and that you're soon going to be stuck at home for a long- long time, would you have believed me ? No matter what your answer might be, things have turned out exactly as I would have told you.

Life in lockdown was not easy for anyone . The world was so lively, yet listless. Lively, because social media had become so important with people actively online all the time , considering it was the only way to know what was going on in the outside world. Listless, because we were stuck at home, drowning in a pool of uncertainty and bored to death like animals in a zoo. 

We dreamed of returning to our daily life ; a routine that we so despised. Maybe it takes such depths of ambiguousness to create such heights of longing for our so called " Boring Routine". Yes, this pandemic has made us realize that we were actually living the dream.....

So how was your lockdown life ?  Feel free to leave a comment 'cause I'd love to know what you guys think !

How My Tenth Grade Met A Sticky End

 The day was 14th April 2021 . After more than a year of online classes and tons of pre-boards, we all were so tired of reading the same books again and again. The first news that we hear in the morning is this: PM to discuss on CBSE board exams in today's meeting - Final decision expected today. Then there it was ; we got to hear the golden words- Our board exams were cancelled !! I expected most of us , 10th graders, to be jumping around and floating on cloud infinity to the power of infinity instead of nine. The comment's section of Youtube videos announcing the cancellation were full of this one line: "Still searching for that one guy who said I hope you get 95+ percentage in your boards😂." Although personally , I was searching for Sharma ji ka beta ( to console him, you know😝). But with all that said and done, I did see a lot of people disappointed with the cancellation. Some of them said " But I was prepared with everything" and "But what about ...

Mission Impossible: Catching the Cheating Child

Option A- Forehead Option B - nose Option C- lips Option D- chin Remember this age old code for copying? 😁 Ever since this torture in the name of examination started all of us, who have been kids at some point of our life, have come up with codes and bits and what not , only to get good marks and pass this cruel practice. Life was made easier for many students when online classes and exams started. Now students are not subjected to the limited knowledge of the person sitting in front of them during the exam, but have access to answers given by people all over the world. Schools have started using various AI technologies to conduct proctored examinations and prevent the use of such vast knowledge in examinations. What people don't understand is that, if a student really wants to cheat, he/she will surely find a way for it no matter what. Like they say, where there is a will, there is a way ,right?😂. But simple and prevalent daily problems such as power cuts can easily become a cau...

A Tribute To The NDRF

It was while coming back from a beautiful family trip that we heard the news. "Chennai faces worst rains since 2015" was all that news articles read. As the clouds covered the sky like a thick dark blanket, spreading an aura of gloominess and despair, we students who used to dream of such opportunities of holidays for heavy rains were devastated. Online classes were once again imposed upon us as a measure to ensure our safety from the heavy rains. WhatsApp chats and statuses overflowed with pictures and videos of flooded roads and Velachery turning into Venice. The opening of lakes like Chembarambakkam were being live streamed like a reality show on news channels.  Amidst all this were the citizens of Chennai, stuck in their houses of which some were , unfortunately, flooded with water as people tried to safeguard themselves, their electrical appliances and valuables from the water. It was in such a dire situation that the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was deployed ...
