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

Student life

Student Life has tremendously changed…Adopting to the new type of learning is so difficult, I feel like how our parents used to tell us of their days stating, “ those were the days of true learning”.

   Earlier the exam atmosphere created in the school; every now and then the botheration of exam , everyone calling out and saying “ All The Best ” is what I miss the most. Even if we live among people, we don’t have interactions. Those circulating of chits, fear of teachers and help of exam partners was something truly what is lacking in these online exams. When we used to go to school , unknowingly all used to compete for attaining maximum number of attachments to the answer sheets. Somewhere behind the mind there was a purpose for calling out our teachers and exclaiming loudly “ ma’am attachment ”. That rechecking of paper, tearing the answer sheet while teacher is snatching it to get extra time was legendry. On the other hand, now, we upload and answer our exams, that fun of cheating is somewhere lost in the engulfing waves of time.

Wow!! How much we are changed, isn’t it ? Maybe we will be able to return to that past again or accept this new present… Hug our dearest friends without the concern of masks and sanitizers; spending time in canteen gossiping about latest films and new outfits. Or else me and my friends probably would comment on the passerby keep their names, fight for one chocolate ball but at the end share it… And yes, we never kept in mind that we were creating memories we just enjoyed.

   We cannot always live life virtually, it’s not a good one.

Lastly, I would say “ Sometimes, it’s better to bunk a class and enjoy with friends, because now, when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but those memories do.”
