BOOKS – EVER LASTING FRIENDS

“IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT BOOKS, YOU HAVE EVERYTHIN”

Books are always considered as a priceless asset a person can ever have in
this materialistic world. This is the only friend of a man which always helps
him to step in the light of knowledge from the darkness of ignorance.

Books are the keys which unlock the doors of a mysterious and unexplored
world to you. They give us many opportunities to know what is existing and
what has been extinct. These are like rivers which allow us to flow with
them through our thoughts, ideas, creativity and imagination. Books are the
treasure trove, the much you dig them out, the more you sink into the depth
of their knowledge.

The one who remains in the company of good books, never feels lonely. So
my dear friends expand the wings of your expressions and take a plunge
into the valley of knowledge and wisdom named Books.

QUARANZINE 2020

Covid-19 affected human which lead to severe problems like respiratory
problems, fever, cold and cough etc. Though corona has affected the world ,
it has taught me [us] a lesson. It taught me to value our life , to lead our life
happily in a stable way. Our contemporary life also taught us a lesson that
‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’ Corona a Risk …… We try to avoid it as far
as possible. I was little scared, little unbothered but slowly and gradually I
understood that it is very risky to go out. But my family and my friends
pushed up my confidence .

In this lockdown period of two months, our environment has become clean
and pollution free . In this lock down period I became self responsible and
was able to manage my time as per my daily schedule. I helped my mom in
her house hold work. I washed and cleaned the utensils, I enjoyed a lot. I
also helped my mom in preparing baking dishes like cake, browinies,
breads, cookies, pudding, desserts etc. these are all my favourites and I
enjoyed a lot helping her. It was a nice experience and felt happy eating
those yummy dishes as I had made them.

One day in the morning, during the breakfast our pressure cooker burst out
and got stuck on the ceiling wall. It was a great damage. Facing this
situation I was scared . For two days I didn’t went inside the kitchen. But
my mom explained me that these are the part of life. Don’t be scared
anymore. Just be careful and alert .

I helped her in mopping too. But after that I got pain in my hands and legs.
At that moment I realized how difficult it is to manage daily routine, so does
my mom and all the females too. I cleaned my bookshelves, wardrobe every
week. What an amazing experience it was –I enjoyed, a little bit scared, felt
hard doing these . I have became self responsible too.

I gave sometime for my health too. I went for cycling in the morning, did
some exercise. Doing this I felt fit, fresh and brisk the whole day. Due to
online classes from my school I enjoyed the stem – lab activity at home. I
also tried and presented the activity in front of my science sir. In this critical
time of lock down, I came to know about my religious History – Ramayana
and Mahabharata.

QUARANZINE 2020

Expressing my experience in this situation – we harmed the environment
with pollution. Covid-19 is one of the punishment for us. We must follow
all the precautions and stay safe. God would help us to heal the Earth.
The world would smile. We have to cooperate with our super heroes –
Police men, Doctors , workers . Every risk has a path to get rid of it. The
only thing that we have to do is to find the way .
At the time of British rule in India ,we all fought with our weapons and
we all were outside our home to fight for Independence. But now we
have to stay home and safe to get Independence. Trust the God and just
pray for Life .
‘WE ARE INSIDE , CORONA IS OUTSIDE.’

MY PRIDE IS SAYING – “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE”
MY STRENGTH IS SAYING – “IT IS TOO DIFFICULT”
MY REASON IS SAYING – “IT IS POINTLESS”
BUT MY HEART IS SAYING – “LET’S GIVE A TRY , WE WILL DO IT”

QUARANTINE PERIOD

Someone has rightly said regarding quarantine “Nothing in life is to be
feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so
that we may fear less”. In this hour of quest, the key which we use to defeat
this dreaded disease which has spread all over the world namely Covid-19
is quarantine. Many of us have heard of this word but very few among us
understand its true meaning . The meaning of quarantine is that it is a
restriction on movement of people and goods which is intended to prevent
the spread of disease. In the life stage of an infected man, the hardest part
of an infected person during the infectious period is the quarantine period
which is a period of time that must elapse before those exposed to or
attacked by a contagious disease. There are many benefits of quarantine
and quarantine period as well that many people overlook. First of all, it
prevents the transmission of contagious diseases (for example – Covid-19,
HIV etc). Then, it saves many lives as the spread of the contagious disease
is prevented. I also have a very special experience in this quarantine
period. I also got to know about many skills like using the communication
apps. This quarantine period also taught not only me but also to everyone
how to do things themselves. This period also gives us time to spend and
interact with our family. When we look at the time before this pandemic ,
at that time who would have got time to spend and interact with their
families. But now we have the time to spend moments of our lives with our
family. So, quarantine really is the key which can help us to defeat this
dreaded disease. I would like to end my words with the following lines:
“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves which come when
life seems most challenging.”

EXPERIENCE OF LOCKDOWN

In this lockdown the current scenario which is happening around the world
is very disaster. But I was so bored because staying at home for 24 hours is
very boring. I missed my teachers, friends, their gossiping and activities but
on the other hand it is good to keep lockdown in the country because if
lockdown would not be there than the disaster of positive patients of
COVID–19 would increase up to limit which we doesn’t want. The condition
of the world is traumatic because of this pandemic. These all corona
warriors are risking their life in this war. We all applause them for their
work which they are doing day and night and also keeping us safe from the
pandemic. When my father said that it is not good to do nothing like a dull
and you should do new things which makes you busy. Then I started doing
art and craft, making painting, reading moral books and I also saw the
motivation English speech of famous peoples which was too good. I also
cooked Maggie, tea and sandwich. When I cooked sandwich first time it was
not too good. But later on my mother taught me well to cook delicious
sandwiches. After 2-3 weeks our online classes were started. I was too glad
to see my new teachers and my friends. I was too jolly to attend the online
classes. I enjoyed with my family. I sometimes played carom and chess with
my family and I played many more indoor games with my cousins which
was too pleasant moment. I hope that I meet my friends and teachers soon
in school after the end of the pandemic. Hopes it ends up sooner.

THE LOCKDOWN

The spread of Corona Virus forced our entire country to go into a
lockdown period of more than two months. We were all forced to stay
indoors and I felt like some helpless person put into jail without even
committing any crime.

I was sad and worried but my mom said that we have to find the good in
the bad because every cloud has a silver lining, so here is what I learnt.

In the lockdown period, I enjoyed playing games like chess, carom, cards,
Uno, business and crossword.

I enjoyed sipping the morning tea with my parents in the cool breeze and
also how to make it.

I enjoyed bathing in the rain with my brother and sister and also mopping
the floor after. I now know how to operate the washing machine and dry
clothes on the clothesline.

I have learnt to chop a few vegetables, knead dough and help mom to
make new dishes and also that homemade pizza tastes better than
Dominos or Pizza Hut.

I have missed my school and friends and cycling in the neighborhood but
learnt that my tab can easily bring my class and teachers to my home. I
have fed peanuts to a few squirrels and seen a bird feeding her babies in
my garden.

I have seen news showing people suffering from hunger and disease but
also many more going out of the way to help the needy. I have learnt that
real superheroes are not Superman and Spiderman but the doctors,
nurses, policemen and cleaning people, who are risking their own lives to
keep us healthy and safe.

The Lockdown has made me a little smarter and wiser, I think.

MY EXPERIENCE DURING LOCKDOWN

My quarantine experience was good because I spent a very long time with
my family. I enjoyed a lot by playing Cards, Carrom, Badminton, Box
Cricket, Ludo with my family. We all talked together and watched t.v.
together. My mom taught me Sanskrit and I practised Maths, Hindi and
English. When online classes started, I was very excited because it was my
first experience with online classes. I also enjoyed new dishes prepared by
my mom. I celebrated my first quarantine b’day. Overall, I had a fun filled
experience with my family.

DIARY ENTRY ON MY EXPERIENCE

DURING QUARANTINE PERIOD

Saturday, 6 June 2020
10:30 a.m.

Dear Diary
This has been one of the most unusual period of my life due to the
outbreak of the world wide pandemic that is terrorizing the world called
corona virus. Well, this has led to the completion of many of my dreams.
First of all, l always wanted to have online classes which nowadays I am
appearing for. Secondly, I have developed some very positive drawing
habits and other morning habits. Surprisingly, l have been more busy in
this quarantine period than l used to be during the regular days. This has
taught me patients and many other life lessons. I just hope that God
settles everything well and everyone start with their basic life.
Now, it is getting late and I have some urgent work in hand so I must stop
here.
Good day!

CORONA PANDEMIC

Our Earth is surviving from the outbreak of a virus known as CORONA
VIRUS. Due this, we all have locked down ourselves, and spend this time
at our homes. Our scientists and doctors are working diligently and are
very determined in getting the solution of this virus, policemen are not
letting people roam on the streets and lanes and also the teachers did not
stop imparting education. I would also like to appreciate each one of us
who is participating in the chess battle with CORONA VIRUS and
HUMANS. I would also like to salute to all the warriors of this battle, even
our newspaper boy who risked his life and brought the current news at
the door.

“THEY STAY AT WORK FOR YOU STAY AT HOME FOR THEM”

During this pandemic, we must have found a new talent within us such as
drawing, art work, cooking, etc. To me it was all different. Actually, I
taught few people to shine and smile like my brother, he did not smile
much so I made him laugh. During this time, we even made relationships
stronger than before. I also started reading the novels of Enid Blyton, J.K
Rowling, and Ruskin Bond and many more. Everyone has got a new skill
in them so we should explore it even more. My mom now enthusiastically
makes new dishes, and showed her interest in drawing .My dad who was
always short-tempered, got quiet changed and has now learner to smiling.
I want every one of us to take a pledge of having positive thinking,
supporting the warriors by following their instructions , and spending the
time with the family. We all know that there is very less pollution in our
environment, and we can now feel fresh air, see clean water in rivers.
Lastly I would say if you will love nature, it love u back. So, take care of the
environment and keep it clean.

ME DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID 19, gave an amazing twist and sudden break to the human’s
life. This large and unstoppable pandemic is doing great destruction to
the life, property and economy of the whole world. This epidemic has
taught us different new words such as quarantine, lockdown and home
quarantine etc. This large epidemic also gave a relax in my life. As I am a
student, I have to do fewer studies as compared to my regular school
days. I learned many things during this lockdown such as to solve a Rubik
cube, to prepare some easy food items such as biscuit cake, to make rice,
and mango, chocolate shake, I also learned to make sketching with oil
pastels etc. The COVID 19 has affected my life in many different ways like
my father remains most of the time in the office and during the lockdown,
he is living most of the time at home and gives a lot of time to us, my
mother is also preparing plenty of delicious food items such as chocolate
cakes, pizza, dosa, jalebi, and ice cream of mango and chocolate etc., I
played different indoor games with my families such as court piece,
rummy, Uno cards and monopoly. I spent most of my time with my family
in this COVID 19 outbreak. At the last, I want to tell you that stay home to
stay safe, and protect yourself from this worst pandemic and pray to the
god that ‘please, oh my dearest god! Please free this whole world from
this bad situation of the time.

A PANDEMIC FROM CHINA

It was the time when my exams were over. Next day I and my family
went to our village. Then on 23 March, we came back to home and I
heard some voices of drums, etc. I asked my father and he said that our
prime minister did this in respect to the corona warriors. next day we
came to know that the lockdown is started due to corona pandemic.
From that day I would not play outside, my parents stopped going to the
office. I asked my parents that what is this corona? they said that it is a
pandemic from china. When we come in contact with a corona positive,
we also become infected. That’s why we should wear a mask. It has
some symptoms like fever, headache, cough, a problem in breathing etc.
now the cases are so many that if I see from the roof, I hardly see
anyone. When I read the newspaper, I found the news of corona
pandemic. When my father goes outside due to some reason, he uses a
mask and when he comes, he washes his hands without touching
anything. We were also bored sitting idle at home. Then we saw
Ramayana, many interesting films .my mother made some special
dishes, I and my brother use to play at home, my family sits together
and plays Ludo. After some time, my online classes were started, now
my maximum time goes into studies. we have to be safe from the attack
of the corona. by wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, using
sanitizers we can fight with corona. This was a new experience of my
life. I will remember this by “corona time.”

HOW I SPENT MY TIME DURING

LOCKDOWN

Due to the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the
world, the life of every individual has changed. The Indian government
banned all services in April and May looking at the life-threatening scare
of COVID -19 throughout the country. All the sectors were closed down
and only the emergency services were open. And as a result, our schools
and colleges were also put to a close. All the students along with their
family members were confined to house arrest. The markets, theatres,
parks, gardens etc. were all shut due to the Corona scare. Everybody
seemed anxious and fearful but I was feeling very happy. It was a vacation
for us. After long days of school, I was looking forward to a break and we
got it. Ignoring the fear that everyone was facing I got involved in my fun
activities at home. This included gardening, dancing, drawing, craft
making, small cooking jobs and yes television watching. I also watched
art and craft videos and made many creative objects out of waste
material. I also got the opportunity to spend time with my dog and care
for him. This was the best time for me as my whole family was with me
and we enjoyed together in all big and small activities like playing
carrom, cards, chess, gardening, cooking, watching movies, online
chatting with my friends and family etc. Thus it was great fun at home.

The Corona scare is not over and to safeguard the academic curriculum of
the students the schools and colleges have started online classes since
April. It was going a bit difficult for me in the early days of classes as we
were new to the educational interface and were also facing internet
availability problems. But now our classes are being held smoothly. I now
have started my studies at home together with the help of our respected
teachers.

In these crucial times, I sincerely feel that our doctors, police, army
soldiers, political leaders and teachers are doing commendable services
for our country. I am proud to be a citizen of this country and hope that
we shall always remain invincible, overcome all the problems coming our
way and be the winners.

CORONA VIRUS

All the things were going well, we were going to school, we used to travel to new
places, but that night, that horrifying news changed our lives…

BREAKING NEWS: A NEW VIRUS HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE DOCTORS IN CHINA.
IT IS NAMED AS ‘CORONA VIRUS’.

“Dad, is this virus going to spread in India too?” asked 10-year-old Anya, thoughtfully.
Her father said, “Don’t know beta, as there is still no case of this disease in India, so we
can’t say anything.”

BREAKING NEWS: DEATH OF A 76-YEAR-OLD CORONA POSITIVE MAN. OTHER
FAMILY MEMBERS ARE BEING TESTED.

“Oh no! That is bad news. I think everybody in our colony will stop sending their
children outside.” said mom, scared. The next day was her last exam. She did her best
to get good marks to score high. Just after her exam, when she was packing her bag,
there was an announcement that this will be the last day at school because their
school will be closed because of the Corona disease.

ONE MONTH LATER

“Mom, Dad! I got the highest marks in my exams in my whole class!” cried Anya when
she saw her result on her school website. “Wow, Congratulations Anya! I will make
your favourite ice cream for you. Dad said, “Today you have scored the highest marks
in your class, so we will celebrate by doing a small party.”

AFTER TWO WEEKS

“Mom, we are going to have online classes from 7 April. This is going to be a very new
experience for me,” said Anya, excited. I am going to set my table and bring some
empty rough notebooks.” Suddenly, dad cried, “Oh no! when are these cases going to
stop increasing? Mr Prime Minister has announced a complete lockdown.

NOW THE CORONA WAS NOT CALLED THE CORONA DISEASE, IT WAS CALLED THE
CORONA PANDEMIC. SCIENTISTS WERE TRYING THEIR BEST TO MAKE THE
VACCINES.

The next day, Anya’s parents left for work and Anya went to study online for the first
time. Then everything started to be normal. Anya was assigned activities from school
and she learnt new things too.

MY LIFE IN QURANTINE PERIOD

Coronavirus’s symptoms were first seen in China, Wuhan. Someone at
the now world-famous Huanan seafood market in Wuhan was infected
with a virus from an animal. This virus is also known as COVID – 19.
This deadly virus has had a great effect on the health of the people and
the economy of the whole world. Many people died and many are still
suffering from this virus. As for India, many steps were taken by the
government to stop it from spreading. They firstly initiated ‘The Janta
Curfew’ for a day and then they started ‘The Lockdown’ for 3 weeks.
This Lockdown period came upon the people with a lot of advantages
as well as disadvantages.
Some of the advantages were that people were able to spend a lot of
time with their families as compared to earlier. The children learnt to
draw, to paint, to cook, etc. and as for the environment the pollution
decreased and the ozone layer is recovering very quickly. The clear
skies and clearer air have turned out to be of advantageous for all in
this Quarantine Period.
The only disadvantages were that most of the people weren’t able to go
to work and the poor people weren’t able to get enough food.

QUARANTINE TIME

This all started when my last year’s exam was cancelled due to the
coronavirus pandemic and I came to know that my school will remain
closed and the studies will continue on Zoom and later on Microsoft
teams. I usually wake up at 7:15 a.m. I use to do first thing first then
some meditation and to watch Ramayan and Byomkesh Bakshi earlier.
But now, I have to attend my online classes. After online class, I do some
workout and exercises for an hour. Then do some homework of classes.

After that, I play football with my sister. I have my television time and
lunch time. One important thing to mention here is, hourly handwash for
20 seconds and a home made healthy food was ensured by my parents.
And there comes my favourite time, that is to make some paper crafts
such as gun or cardboard castle for one and a half hour. My mother
endured my novel reading and some kind of presentation every day. We
all would sit in the balcony and enjoy seeing outside, listening to songs
and have dinner at 9:00. Finally, going to sleep by maximum 10:20 p.m. I
miss my grandparents in this summer vacations as well as my friends and
cousins. When the lockdown will be over I will feel like a fish in the deep
ocean.

LOCKDOWN

The actual meaning of freedom is now known to us after being in
lockdown for so many days. During this I have experienced many things.
I have learnt so many important day to day work which earlier my
parents used to do for me like- washing my clothes at my own, cleaning
my study table, folding and ironing my clothes, evening and morning
prayers before god at our home temple etc. In this phase, I also tried to
give some time to our nature too . In other sense, I tried to take care of
street dogs by giving them food, nurturing the plants and helping some
needy ones as “help in need is a help indeed”.
This was a life time learning experience which has taught us so many
things. We made ourselves more friendly to online classes and learning
methodology. We also came to know that how can we improve our
knowledge with the help of gadgets and tools. I also played games with
my parents and grandparents that I was not aware of till now like
chaupad , stapoo etc.
From a long time we had not spent time with our family members,
everybody was busy with their peace of work to do but now we are
spending quality time with our family. Before this lockdown, our earth
had become like dustbin due to pollution but now it has become like a
beautiful flower. But some people are suffering a lot in this lockdown.
And because of this I tried to help them in some or the other way. The
doctors, the police , the army officers etc are giving us a new life by
saving our lives. It is well said that every challenge brings ocean of
opportunities and learning to us. So does the COVID-19 pandemic has
brought to the mankind.

2020: YEAR OF WIZARDS AND
MUGGLES

Who knew the environment J.K Rowling created would be connected to
2020 reality.
Corona virus originated from the forbidden forest of Wuhan and turned
the world into muggles. To break this spell, the world converted their
homes into the Dursley’s staircase cupboard. Meanwhile the witches and
wizards all over the world looked through the pensieve to find how Covid
Voldermort came to power. Dr. Anthony Fauci is guiding us like Albus
Dumbledore to solve the corona riddle. In this difficult time, corona
warriors have formed Dumbledore’s army. This army is using weapons
like PPE kits, gloves, sanitizers instead of wands, brooms and magic
potions. There are some selfish people like Dolores Umbridge who don’t
care about others and do things they like just for fun. As the world battles
with COVID Voldermort, it also has to overcome problems like locust
attacks, cyclones, earthquakes, economy recession, depression, reverse
migration etc. in the wizarding war. Just like Harry Potter , Hermione
Granger and Ron Weasley who destroyed the horcruxes, we all together
can destroy the Covid Voldermort to break the spell. Just like Harry
survived with only a lightning shaped scar on his forehead as a memento
of the attack, we hope that the world survives with the mask as the new
normal.

BEING POSITIVE IN A NEGATIVE

SITUATION

From past few months, human life has changed drastically, where… we all were
flying, freely in the sky but now our life has come to a halt. We are facing an
unexpected outbreak of corona and people are scared of this virus known as Covid-
19. Even our own country India is a victim of this pandemic. It has affected every
individual’s economic, mental and social wellbeing. Our government left no stone
unturned and took every possible action to prevent us from this pandemic and we
too supported our government whole heartedly in the mission.
We humans are worried about the future but the present situation is more critical.
What we can do in this adverse phase is to keep our mind and thoughts positive
because only positive frame of mind and thoughts act as medicine in such a situation.
A wise man once rightly said, ‘Time heals every wound.’ So, if we all will remain
positive and maintain social distancing, we will definitely win the battle against
Covid-19.
The Prime Minister of our country Shri Narendra Modi ji keeps encouraging the
countrymen by addressing them from time to time in this tough phase of pandemic.
Keeping his thoughts in mind, if we all follow a healthy regime in our life by including
some activities like yoga, meditation, jogging to name a few, then we will definitely
be able to come out of this situation victoriously.
In this lock down, I got the opportunity to understand and compare the traditional
thoughts and beliefs of our ancestors with modern thoughts and beliefs of today.
Putting this comparison to the test of life, I found that the thinking of our ancestors
was more logical and justified. For example, not collecting more items than required,
saving for future from the earning, taking care of cleanliness, giving importance to
indigenous items, firm belief in joint family, farming and economy, organized
routines, pure vegetarian food, making toilets outside the houses, etc. If we all follow
this belief system in the present situation, then our country will soon be corona free.
Also, no such epidemic will dominate us in the future. We will succeed in
empowering our country all the way. Our economy will also be empowered by
Modiji's ‘Principle of Self-Reliance’.
This small virus has changed our lives in many ways be it following the social
distancing or using the sanitizer made at home. May 31, 2020 was the last phase of
this lock-down, may be everything will not be as it was in the past. But during this
lockdown phase, we watched some old serials, sports and religious programmes, had
fun with family, relished variety of dishes, played ludo and cards. Moreover, self-
contemplated too. This is definitely a unique, once in a lifetime experience for me
and a bundle unforgettable memories.

POSITIVE ASPECTS OF CORONA VIRUS

As we all know , that THE NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN due to COVID 19
has bought 1.3 million people to a stop . Thousands and lakhs of homeless
people, starvation , economic loss, mental breakdown , emotional
breakdown and many negative impacts can be seen all around . All these
aspects are making people weak .

So , today let me try to show the brighter side of the lockdown which
many fail to see or have not paid much attention to . The first important
change is –

THE EARTH IS HEALING

Skies are clear , river water seems clearer , better air quality , liberated
wildlife . All these are the positive impact of this lockdown on the
environment .

Apart from the nature and environment , lockdown and the pandemic has
transformed people , that’s all of us …We are now following laws strictly .
We have learnt to live a minimalistic life , putting less burden on nature
and climate .

The positive effects of lockdown on students’ life can also be seen . Like
extra time for a variety of productive and constructive work like reading ,
cooking,no pressure of daily routine , we can practise self paced learning .
Extra attention to the weaker areas can also be given.

And the most important of all , as everyone is at home , we are enjoying
with our family and spending quality time with our near and dear ones!

Last but not the least , with online classes , our teachers are helping us to
improve our weak areas . They are working hard for us , to safeguard our
future . I would like to thanks all my teachers for supporting us at this
time .I know , we are suffering . But we are not alone . The CORONA VIRUS
pandemic has halted life and the people across the globe are fighting it.
And surely we shall overcome this situation and rise as a healthy nation.

BE POSITIVE , BE SAFE , BE AT HOME

“It’s better to be safety conscious than unsafe conscious”
As we know, this pandemic virus started from Wuhan, a city in China. Slowly it
broke down all over the world. Social media played an important role to keep
aware and inform people about this virus. Later on, it spread in India also. So, to
minimise its crucial effects, our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi announced lock
down step by step and requested all to stay in our homes.
We were very sad to remain in our houses for such a long time. But it was a nice
experience too. This lockdown has brought a lot of change in our lives as we
enjoy with our family members. I explored many new things, I have learnt
various things in this lockdown. First of all, we were excited to go to school but
could not ho. So our school started online classes and we study through them. It
was very interesting to study onn laptop or mobile. First we studied from Zoom
app and then from Microsoft teams. I explored two apps during my Quarantine
period. I have learnt origami as well. It was interesting to make things from
paper. I also made pencil sketch , did calligraphy, mask making etc. I now can
make a hand wash at home from YouTube. Everyone knows that working
parents can’t give much time to their family and children but because of this
lockdown they could spend time with their children and family members. My
parents also come under this category. My parents played their childhood games
with me and told me their childhood memories, stories and epics. My
grandparents made me playe games like chaupad, pebbles and they are really
interesting games which I have would have never played in my life. It seems that
they have lived their childhood once again. In fact we are having a lot of fun in
this lockdown. Nowadays, all the elders and children are addicted to mobiles but
this lockdown brought a drastic change. Those who lived abroad came to their
home and spent time with their family that was never possible.
“Every dark cloud has a silver lining”
This pandemic brought a lot loss. The economic condition of each and every
country has fallen down. The poverty has also increased. But thing has its pros
and cons, it has profits also. It made the environment clean and pollution free. It
decreased the air pollution upto 70%. It made the rivers water clean. In this
Quarantine period people became spiritual by giving time to yoga and
meditation.
To sum up my essay I would say, government should declare 15 days lockdown
every year as it decreases the pollution level and people would spend time with
their family and children.

LOCKDOWN VACATIONS

Students are always excited for their summer vacations as this is the time
for enjoyment and relaxation with a feeling of achievement of completing
one more grade.

I was all the more excited because we had planned a multicity vacation
this time and all the tickets of flights, trains and hotels were booked. But
because of this pandemic disease named Covid-19, lockdown was
declared and our plans were cancelled. It was really disheartening for me.
But my father gave me an excellent idea and that made our vacation all
the more exciting.

We imagined the bathroom of my room as Meghalaya because in
Meghalaya there are always heavy rains and we visualised the same with
the help of shower there. Our Kitchen was renamed to Chowpati of
Mumbai where I can get a variety of snacks and fast food and that too
free. Our terrace became the beautiful Kashmir because of the cool breeze
and we enjoyed the morning and evening walks there. Our garden gave us
the experience of some natural beauty like Kerala with its green
plantation all around. It was a place for our meditation and relaxation
with yoga during this lockdown time. There is small temple in my house
on 2nd floor, it was called the Vaishno Devi temple of Jammu and
Kashmir, where you had to climb all the stairs to reach to the divine
almighty for praying. Our living room with big LED TV didn’t let us miss
the big movie theatres where other lights were switched off with regular
supply of popcorn from our kitchen “Chowpati” and watching movie with
whole family was all the more fun. Again, my room was no less than the
room of a five-star super deluxe property with my cozy blanket and soft
pillow, made it even more comfortable and relaxing.

I really enjoyed my vacations to the fullest in this new and interesting
way with a lesson for me that we can derive pleasure even from the small
things around us. We just need to open our eyes and see what a beautiful
place God has created for us and even its smallest of creation is worth a
million.

MY LOCKDOWN EXPERIENCE

In the month of March, when my Annual exams were going on, through
TV and newspapers, I got to know that there is new disease named as
COVID-19 spreading all over the world due to a tiny virus. On 15th march
2020, I was preparing for my last exam of Hindi subject and suddenly the
state government suspended all the academic activities in schools. Due to
this, my last exam was cancelled.

After few days, our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi
requested the people of our nation to restrict social gatherings and
follow one day of “JANTA CURFEW” on Sunday, 22nd March 2020. That
day all roads and streets were empty. There was no noise of vehicles. In
the evening, all my family members gathered in the balcony and clapped
for corona warriors. It was a beautiful experience. People were standing
in their balconies or on terrace. All them were clapping, some of them
were beating the “thali” with steel spoons, and some were blowing the
‘Shankh”. That day my belief got firmed that together we Indians can
overcome this tough time.

After two days of the Janta Curfew, on 24th March 2020 the Indian
government declared the country wide lockdown from 25th March. My
grandfather and father said that they had never seen such restrictions in
their lives. My parents were a bit in panic because we had shortage of
groceries and other house hold items. That time, it seemed like we might
face some problem in getting these necessary items. All the shops were
closed and streets near by my house were blocked using barricades. In
few days, some corona positive patients were found in our Jodhpur city.
We all were in tension and it made me a bit nervous.

Due to corona lockdown, my father’s office was also closed and he
started working from home. It was the first time in my life, I saw my
father at home for such a long period of time. We spent lot of time
together. We played some indoor games and watched TV. It was really a
good time with my family. I live in a joint family of eight members. We all
enjoyed together in this lockdown period. I had lots of chit-chats with
my grandmother and my aunt.

Our school declared online classes for us on apps like Zoom and
Microsoft Teams. It was a new thing for me. I was so excited to attend an
E-Lecture on my mobile phone. All our teachers put their best efforts to
impart us quality education.

During this lockdown period, on 3rd of May 2020 was my birthday. It
was the first time I could not buy a new dress and did not get any gift
from my family members as all the shops were closed. But to surprise
me, my mother made a homemade birthday cake for me. It was really
delicious. I also helped my mother in the baking of my own birthday
cake. It was really a great moment for me.

In this corona period our life has completely changed. There is no visitor
at our home and I also did not go out, not even for a single day. In the
morning, my father brings milk packets and vegetables from the near-by
shops, before using these items we wash all of them nicely. I too help my
mother and grandmother in this washing process. Whenever I touch the
main door to open it when anyone comes from outside, I wash my hands
with soap and sanitizer.

In this way the corona lockdown taught me so many new things.
Somehow, I enjoyed this lockdown period with my family, and learned to
take precautions to fight against corona. I really think this is once in a
lifetime experience for me and I will cherish these moments forever.

MY EXPERIENCE ON LOCKDOWN

It was 22nd march 2020, when our Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modiji
announced the lockdown for 21 days. When we heard this news we gave
mixed reactions. Some of us were sad and some of us were happy.
Afterwards my mother told me that now you are free so I will teach you
house chores. I started learning daily chores of the house like mobbing,
grooming and dusting etc. I enjoyed a lot while learning them. After few
days I was given to understand that my online classes of school will start
from tomorrow. I became curious. Studies online were going on well.
Then, the very next day my cricket coach Mahipal sir, messaged that
nobody will sit free in this lockdown and had send some exercise videos. I
was very happy when my online cricket classes also started. Then I made
a routine to follow daily i.e. to wake up at 6 a.m., do exercise, have
breakfast, then homework and at last honing my cricketing skills. I
watched television after lunch, slept for 2 hours and then attended online
classes of cricket, followed by playing some games on terrace, then bath,
taking dinner and then spent some time with my family members. I
reached my bed at 10 p.m. within failing.

This corona virus has taught us many things which we had forgotten due
to the influence of western culture. It has taught us how to live simple life
without much fancy requirements. It has reminded us many Indian
traditions like doing Namaste, taking off shoes outside house , washing
hands again and again, eat healthy home prepared food , spending time
with family members and many more. The only thing which I miss is
playing with friends so I would pray to God to keep us all safe and take
out this deadly virus from the world. Till then Stay at home, Stay safe and
be happy.

THANK YOU TO CORONA WARRIORS

Friday, 5th June 2020 10:00 P.M.

Dear diary,

l am writing this to make you understand the importance of Corona
Warriors. These Warriors are making themselves unsafe to safe us and
they are also keeping themselves away from their family to make us safe
with our family. As you already know in some places coronavirus is
spreading very fast like anything as people are not following social
distancing and not wearing mask which is not at all good in this time
when coronavirus have taken over everybody. I am also writing this
because today when I reached to my hometown I came to know that
people had increased by many percentage which really scared me and
got my heart stopped for a while but my father said to me that we
should not be scared instead , we should be positive and be happy that
even homeopathic medicines are also working nowdays on patients
infected by covid-19.

TEACHER ALSO A WARRIOR

COVID 19-A small tiny microbe – is stronger than any current nuclear
warhead on earth which threatens to disrupt and destroy global as well
as Indian economy and health. It emerged from China but has now
spread globally. So because of this we were locked down. I was not able
to understand what was happening. Whenever I switch on the TV all I
come across is news of people dying everywhere. I am even scared to
step out to my lawn. People all over the country were stressed. Then
online classes started and then I asked the most dreaded question,
“Ma’am, are we all going to die?” Then I was advised to stop watching
such news channels and better focus on positive things. The teachers put
all their efforts from counselling students to keeping them engaged in all
other activities during the lockdown. They helped us to learn and focus
on to be creative. They supported us in our curricular activities like to
know more about our family, ancestors, and home plantings, to help
people and help us to enhance our abilities. Then I joined online guitar
and yoga classes which made me happy and energetic. Teachers also
have us many different tasks to perform and share are skills. So this
locked down helped us to learn more and more things just because of
you teachers....... Thank you teachers!
So they also helped us in making future generations positive.

ABOUT LOCKDOWN IMPACTS

When nationwide lockdown was imposed in India, its primary requirement
was to curb the eminent of the novel coronavirus. As citizens of India are
abiding the medical need by staying home and practicing social distancing.
The world’s largest coronavirus lockdown is generating a magnificent effect
on the pollution of India. This is why nitrogen dioxide went from 52 per
cubic meter to 15 in the same period. This pandemic has made us realize
that how badly are we treating the nature. In the last month of 2019, air
pollution had hit record high levels, forcing schools to close and flights to be
cancelled. And few months later in 2020, the skies are now clearing up.

This lockdown is also having an impact on tribal communities. As per the
study, COVID-19 has destroyed economies and absence of jobs. These
migrants have been left homeless, jobless and hungry which forces them to
return to their routes. The areas from where they belong have no access to
testing facilities to detect virus. During the lockdown, the tribals are not
being reached by the state programmes and effectively left to fend for
themselves. Assessing the impacts of COVID-19 crisis on societies,
economies and vulnerable groups is fundamental to inform and tailor the
responses of governments and partners to recover from the socio-economic
responses, global suffering will exalate, jeoparalizing lives and livelihood .

While Coronavirus continues to spread across the world, many countries
decided to close schools as part of a social distancing. However, these
closure of schools, have affected the education of more than 1.5 billion
children and youth worldwide due to COVID-19. During this pandemic,
many schools have adopted some form of distance learning, with teachers
providing material through online portals. But there are more than 16 lakh
children who belong to BPL families and have no access to smartphones or
internet leaving their education for the current year in a dilemma.

IMPACT OF LOCKDOWN

The Coronavirus led lockdown has put all of our strength and zeal to a hard test by
interrupting our regular lives recently. It is indeed testing times for all of us.
My name is Radhika Gandhi and I'm a 8th Grade Learner in jodhpur , India. The first
two days were really fun. I could sleep in late, wake up late and did not have to
worry about going to school. But everything changed in the third day. I was sick of
the usual routine.
I missed school and I missed my teachers. I was scared of how I was supposed to
learn even though our last exams were over. My school teachers started giving us
home work, worksheets and audios/videos via online classes. That kept me
engaged.
I am a person who needs to do something different or I get bored really quickly. As
my mum is working so she was not able to give me much time so she asked me to
keep a schedule; so, I did. Most of the times, I forgot what was I supposed to do
according to my schedule! And in many cases, my schedule included more screen
time than hands-on works! That made it harder for me to go to sleep; I would stay
up till 1:00 a.m. in the morning and then sleep.
I learned many things during lockdown, I helped my mother in household chores, I
became a cheff and learned to make new things .I made a cake myself, I also cleaned
my cupboard, other than all these things I made myself engaged in indoor games
with my younger sister .
I thanks God for giving me such a supportive family, they gave me a lot of love and
care specially my elderlies, My Grandmother and Grandfather, they told me about
their life experiences and at night the lovely tales by my grandmother made my
lockdown period lively other than becoming active there is one more thing that I
got due to lockdown is a supporting and carrying family Everyone had a busy busy
lifestyle but lockdown made everyone idle.
I also do my home works which schools are giving via mails and stayed connected
with my school mates. I mostly workout through dance, stretching and I started
practicing meditation. I love to draw comics, I watch a movie with my parents, finish
all my home works. Due to lockdown the environmental changes took place like the
pollution level got decrease , rivers and oceans become more clean and clear, there
were animals roaming here and there all around, the stars were very clear in the
sky, I could listen the chirping of birds clearly in the sky. Last but not least the all
became United during this pandemic and this was the most beautiful scene which I
have ever seen .

POSITIVE IMPACT OF COVID-19

LOCKDOWN ON ENVIRONMENT

The question about COVID-19 pandemic being a godsend for human beings
or not cannot be answered, but it would seem to be one for the
environment. Following the outbreak of the corona virus, many countries
had adopted lockdown procedures that stopped people from moving out,
and for shops and other establishments to close down. We take a look at the
positive impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the environment.

Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the air around us had been
assumed to be very toxic to breathe, due to the amount of greenhouse gases
that had been released over the centuries. The Earth has been facing rising
temperatures, which in turn has led to the melting of glaciers and rising of
sea levels. Environmental degradation was happening fast due to the
depletion of resources such as air, water and soil. But after the corona virus
lockdown, there have been slight changes in the environment.

After the lockdown was brought into force in many countries, there was
lesser travelling done by people, whether it is by their own cars, or by trains
and flights. Even industries were closed down and not allowed to function.
This in turn led to the pollution in the air dropping significantly, as there
was a marked decline in the release of toxic gases in the environment.

Since there was no boat usage, whether they be used for fishing or
pleasure, plying on the rivers and waterways, the water has cleared up.
Water bodies became so clear that the fish could be seen and there was
better water flow. No doubt, because of the lesser human footfall even the
oceans are recovering and marine life is thriving.

Again as far as fish is concerned, the lockdown has seen a decline in fishing,
which means that the fish biomass will increase, after over-fishing had
almost depleted it. Apart from that, animals have been spotted moving
about freely where once they would not dare to go. Even sea turtles have
been spotted returning to areas they once avoided, to lay their eggs, all due
to the lack of human interference.

ALL ABOUT LOCKDOWN

Because of the pandemic coronavirus all the world has been for 60 days in a
half annoying and half enjoyable lockdown period. The whole world is
praying to God to give us a solution to defeat this coronavirus pandemic.
The whole world is suffering from this stupid pandemic. America, France,
Japan, Canada, Europe, and Asia all the 195 countries in the world are
suffering from this pandemic and are in 60 days period of lockdown 2020,
in every second, minute and hour. more than 1000 people are dying
because of this pandemic. All the world has introduced this 2020 year as
the “CORONA YEAR’’.
We can’t go anywhere in this quarantine period. The government has
permitted us to go outside if urgent or very important with wearing a mask.
All our doctors and nurses without been thinking of themselves and their
families are helping and curing the patients in this difficult time. We salute
all our doctors and nurses, policemen, cleaners and the farmers. The
doctors who are thinking only about to cure the whole world, the
policemen who are doing their duty sincerely and honestly in this difficult
time, the cleaners without being spending time with their families,
sanitizing the whole world by not leaving any place. The farmers without
being resting at home growing crops in the farm and caring that nobody
sleep hungry, and also the news reporter, anchor-woman is giving us daily
data and news regarding Corona cases in the world by not taking any
leaves.
And also, we have to salute ourselves that we are fighting against the
coronavirus by following the rules given by the government and living
honestly in the quarantine.
The whole world had seen the unbeatable virus the first time. But this virus
has given Indians the challenge to beat it, and we have trust in ourselves,
our citizens, and our scientists that one day we would win over corona by
defeating it. This is the first time when the whole world is like the soldiers,
not the one who takes part in the war, that one who has a trust in their
heart that they could defeat this corona pandemic one day and save their
mother earth.

LAW OF KARMA AND UNIVERSE

A lot of people do not believe in the LAW OF KARMA and UNIVERSE. They believe
that these two terms do not exist, but in reality, the law of universe and karma
influence our thoughts and action every day. If you do some good deed to others, you
will get payback. Similarly, if you do some bad deed, also you will get payback. This is
the Law of Karma.
Time and again, we have been taught many things about the Law of Karma and
Universal Law of Attraction by our parents, our teachers and our elders. They always
teach us about positive thinking. However, in the absence of real-life examples, we fail
to understand Karma and universe. We have been taught “WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT
YOU SHALL REAP”, “think positive” etc. but we are not explained, WHY?
In this article, I am trying to explain the theory only a little, the basic thumb rules for
our growing age which have been told to me by my elders.
The universe is always responding to our thoughts whether they are positive or
negative. So be very careful WHAT YOU SPEAK and be very careful WHAT YOU WISH
FOR.
For example, if a person constantly thinks of getting sick, talks about ill health, thinks
negative and of various diseases, the universe will turn the diseases into reality.
Whatever disease the person would have thought of, he may get affected with that
disease because what you think, feel and say happens to you, this is the UNIVERSAL
LAW OF ATTRACTION. Likewise, if we keep cribbing about our situations, for
example, “Oh God! My life is so miserable”, “I do not have good clothes”, “I do not have
a good gadget”, “I do not have a good bag”, “I do not like my house”, basically the
universe is tracking all your thoughts and registers that you are never grateful and
you love to complain, so now it will ensure that you get what you love, in this case, it
being all the things which will make you less happy and more complaining. Similarly,
if you have developed a habit of bullying others or make fun of others, be assured
that, even if no one is watching, the universe is STILL watching.
The universe is basically like a spy camera that will always follow us no matter what
we do and we cannot hide from it.
What is the solution for this, start being grateful for whatever you have from the
depths of your heart, and you will notice that as soon as you start being grateful and
happy, the universe will give you more chances of being happy and soon your life is
going to be a bliss, a heaven on earth? But the key is true thoughts of gratitude
because you can NEVER deceive the universe. From these examples, it is clear that by
neutralizing the bad nature and adding positive thinking, we can have strong
creativity, a pure soul, clear karma and universe on our side.

THE ROLLER COASTER OF MY
EXCITEMENT

When I woke up on 18th of March 2020, I was told that our honourable
prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi had declared ‘Janta Curfew’ on March
22. I had heard about curfew but had never experienced it. I was under
an impression that curfews were imposed only when there was a law
and order situation in a state or a country, but this curfew was different
as here we the people of India had to stay at homes to protect ourselves
from the Coronavirus. That day we thanked the doctors, the other
medical staff, police and all Corona warriors by clapping our hands and
ringing bells or plates. I enjoyed this wonderful experience. Almost all
my neighbours clapped and rang the bells together. The atmosphere was
very joyful. Soon COVID 19 became a pandemic and to control the
spread in our country lockdown 1.0 was declared. Meanwhile, our online
classes were also started from 7th April 2020 and it was like an icing on
the cake for me. Still, the Corona meter didn’t stop to increase in India.
Lockdown 2 and 3 were also imposed. After listening to this news, I was
very sad because I didn’t want to sit at home any more. And soon the
school routine became monotonous for me. Also, the lockdown was no
longer fun for me as I wanted to go out and play with my friends. Alas!
Here’s one more lockdown. By now I was bored watching television and
being at home. Then a day comes when I came to know that we will have
a summer vacation! After a long time, we were getting holidays although
we were in our own homes only still holidays are holidays only. And
after that, there was one more good news for me that, the government
had declared Unlock 1.0. In which restaurants and other shops would be
opening. I hope our school will also reopen in July. So, I am just keeping
my fingers crossed that all will be well and back to normal soon.

HOW I UTILIZED THE QUARANTINE
PERIOD

This quarantine has been very productive and special for me. I did several
things for which I didn’t get time in normal days. I explored and learnt a lot
of new things during this time. Firstly, I inculcated reading habits in me by
reading many novels. I also made a point to read newspaper every day to be
aware of the current happenings all across the world. Reading novels and
newspaper has increased my concentration and vocabulary immensely. I
also wrote a paragraph regularly to improve my writing skills. I watched a
lot of inspirational and Bollywood movies for the sake of fun. To explore my
creativity, I learnt calligraphy to make my handwriting beautiful. Also, I was
glad to hear that my school was going to begin online classes because it was
the first time, I was going to attend online classes. Since I love trying new
things, I learnt French language because it is one of the most recognized
language in the world. I even tried my hand at a new instrument called
guitar with the help of my sister. I did online coding classes on Java Script
which would help me a lot in future. I am now a pro player in carrom after
playing it regularly with my brother. While reading books, I felt a need of
bookmarks, so I tried to make creative handmade bookmarks. Playing
indoor games with my family was one of the brightest sports of my day. I
even tried my luck by playing a lot of online housie.
Well, this quarantine period has been an outstanding and creative time for
me and I will always cherish it.

THE BEST WAY I FEEL TO EXPRESS MY

VIVID THOUGHTS IS THAT I WRITE

WHAT I FEEL

The Covid-19 pandemic has spread in the whole world. Starting from
China it has invaded the whole world. Moreover, it is like Alexander – The
Great as its motive is to conquer the whole world. As per now we all are
used to the lockdown lifestyles. At some point in the starting of lockdown
we all were angry as we could not go to shopping malls, play with our
friends, go to school and we could not go to hobby classes. These are some
stereotypes but many more exist.
On the contrary, this pandemic has given lift to online world both in
metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan as well. Our school DPS has also
started the wonderful concept of online learning and I don’t even feel if I
am learning and enjoying the school hours online sitting in my very own
room. All the teachers and faculty of DPS has given me a wonderful
opportunity to participate in various online activities. From oil pastel
drawings to complex study of metals, from the amazing conjunctions of
English to matchless Sanskrit, all have been taught so well that I don’t feel
bored.
We all have been taking care of ourselves a lot these days. We wash our
hands regularly, clean up our houses, eat healthy and maintain hygienic
conditions.
This lockdown time has given us more opportunities to create and
experiment. In our family, we all have started spending a lot of time
together. I cook several dishes with my mom and I make canvases. I do
video conference with my friends and share my thoughts and ideas with
them.
It is said that the next day is a better day, so taking that note, I hope that
the world gets better and better and we get over this corona-virus soon.

EXPERIENCE OF LOCKDOWN

Monday, 01 June 2020
04.00 P.M.

Dear Diary

I was very upset when I listened to the news of keeping lockdown in
the country so; I was forced to stay at home against my will. The
Lockdown was totally hell for me because to stay at home for all 24
hours is very boring. The lockdown was there and all the people were
wholeheartedly abiding it. It is very traumatic condition for the whole
world. The current scenario which is happening around the world i.e.
the time of pandemic covid-19 is very disastrous. I appreciate our
current god, our safeguard ‘corona warriors’ doctors, nurses,
compounders, police, army people and many more are helping us day
and night in this pandemic and keeping us safe. I helped my mother
with her household work to make me busy with all these activities. I
made a beautiful wall hanging and decorated items with my sister. I
read English books and stories of Ruskin Bond and of many other
writers also. I even watched English motivational speeches of famous
people which was too good and it motivated me a lot. I am very happy
that my whole family is together under one roof. I have learned to cook
sandwich and to make tea from my mother. When the online classes
had started, my happiness had no limits. Online class was a new and a
good platform to study. I made so many drawings, art and crafts,
paintings and many more. My activities were very interesting which I
did in the lockdown period. And I even missed my school, teachers,
friends, their gossiping and activities. At home also I enjoyed very much
but sometimes got bored also. Now I have some urgent work in hand
so, I must keep pen down.

been saved from this virus by doctors and nurses. Policemen are also
instructing not to go out of house. In this lockdown I have also honed my
skills of study, learning, reading fluently, craft making and games like-
Cricket, Badminton, Carrom etc. I have also helped my family in many
works. I helped my mother in kitchen work, dusting and many more
things. One day I also baked a cake and made breakfast in the morning
that were crispy sandwiches. I also learned from my father how to make
bill. They also told me tricks of badminton and cricket like how to bowl
spin. I also taught my little sister Sonakshi, who sings very well, how to
solve a Rubik’s Cube and play Casio. My school started online classes
which were very interesting. Teachers and students learnt how to use
technology for online classes. My all teachers were kind, polite and
patient during these classes. I loved this precious time of Lockdown very
much. This time is very precious for us as it has occurred once only and
in future also, we don’t know that this time will occur again or not. So,
one should not waste this precious time and hone his or her skills and
spend time with family.

So be safe at Home and Be secure at home.

CORONA WARRIORS

The heroes do not wear capes always!
They can come in many forms like doctors, policemen, teachers. Yes, each
and every person fighting with corona today is a corona warrior because
in some or the other way they are proved to be a helping hand.
Our doctors with no capes are fighting for lives of the people across the
country. Our nurses are equally proved to be a great help to the doctors.
The policemen all day and night are doing their duties, so that we can
survive against this virus. Even the teachers who at homes are putting in
so much efforts and devoting time for all students so that our studies
should not hamper.
Every warrior is taking risk so that we feel safe and sound. So, what
should be our duties? Just sit at home and be safe? Yes, we have to be at
home but at the same time we have to perform many duties.

Let’s support our corona warriors!
Let’s support the Nation!
Let’s support each other!
Because together we can fight against everything!
Because every hero does not need a cape!
