A Child’s Diary: Saee Yogesh Kokil’s Corona Lockdown Days

We are encouraging children to write diaries and share with us. We are presenting Saee Yogesh Kokil, a 13-year old girl, who lives in Pune, India. Here are her thoughts as shared by her mother (no edits, no filters):

May 11, 2020

I am going to share weekly stories, thoughts. Do you feel the serenity and calmness too?

Serenity and Stillness…… have you felt that?

The entire world is paused for time being you and I know that. I usually spend this time with my family and chums.

Nowadays I do my school homework with some activities. Recently I soaked a few seeds and planted some friends of sun and sky with merry mood of welcoming them in my world.

In this lockdown I miss my school, my friends, the fun and my teachers. I engage myself by writing short stories and poems too. The songs the rainwater, the wind, the plantlets give me everyday I listen to them. Cooking is not a cup of my tea but I love doing that.

Playing Badminton is my passion. I enjoy dwelling in the stories I read; travelling with them despite lockdown. They take to new world where you forget the sadness and boredom of lockdown.

Remembering the past memories and jokes on which I laughed, brings a smile on my face. Last week I had a good chat with my friend. Now I realized the importance of letters than mobile phones, family than work, nature than modern world.

This lockdown indeed is taking me closer to nature where I care for it and in turn it loves me.

More to come from Saee..
