In this pandemic, many people have lost their near and dear ones, many have lost their livelihood, many have missed important exams. Children like me have missed their schools as well as classes. The fun we had at school can never be replicated at home. However, thanks to technology, we can learn and study through online interaction.
Online classes are the only option now, but I limit my screen time as much as possible.
Yes, this is the time when I have learnt coding. It was really interesting and fun to make new apps by myself. Time passed and I developed a passion for drawing, poetry, reading and many more activities. I even tried to be more mature and responsible by doing some household chores by myself.
During this lockdown time, life was very boring but slowly I made the journey interesting. I bought new story books, different types of Rubik's cube, blocks and different indoor games, which kept me going. I even devoted time to reading newspapers. Nowadays it has become one of my favorite things to indulge in and it also helps me gain knowledge. I have started participating in various online competitions, learnt to cook a few dishes and started doing meditation before bedtime which helps me sleep well and brings positivity to my life.
This lockdown has taught me that we must use our time as productively as we can. Life will always have ups and downs. All we can do is face it with a smile.
