Hail The COVID Warriers

 We have finally arrived at the situation where saying that the cases of COVID 19 are increasing day by day has become an understatement . In about just a week, 1.7 lakh new cases a day spikes to a whopping 3.16 lakh, almost a double of the former. Every one of our fears have come true, from inadequate beds, shortage of ventilators, to the point where people are not even getting the basic substance  for the survival of any human being : oxygen. 

On top of all this, we have our great politicians who couldn't even spare such a desparate situation from being used for their own political interests instead of finding a real solution for it. All that is being played is a blame game, where all our netas are scoring points while we stand idle as observers, unable to do anything.

In all this chaos, did anyone really think about the people really fighting for us ? Our doctors and nurses are working so hard that I am falling short of words to describe it. Physical stress is in itself taking a toll on our saviours often working for continuous shifts throughout day and night. And the unbearable mental trauma .... can you even imagine to see your own patients die in front of you ? Or do you think you can manage telling hopeful parents that their 22 year old son has died ? And what do we actually do ? We sit at home and carry on with our online lives, unheard of all this and just grumbling that our healthcare system is crumbling.

It's not just the doctors and nurses. Countless other unsung warriers are working hard in the background. Ambulance drivers have come to the rescue of patients who are gasping for breath at home. Volunteer cremators have come forward to cremate the deceased who have been abandoned by their own families.People are supplying patients with home made food for their speedy recovery. Police officers ensure that laws are enforced and make sure that masks are always on. Vegetable vendors, garbage collectors, milk suppliers, shopkeepers, and the list goes on and on with more and more people risking their lives for their livelihood as well as ours.

So let's praise them and for once, give them the appreciation they truly deserve. Just a simple thank you from us , I believe will mean a lot. Thank you to all the COVID warriers out there, for saving our lives. We always had, have and will have the greatest faith in you , and together all humanity shall triumph over this pandemic. 😃

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 ...
