Feelings of 11 year old girl in this pandemic situation in the form of Story:

Everyone is dying whether they are rich or poor, across the world. I was in such a deep thought that I cried…. I could feel the tears coming from my eyes towards my cheeks. I could feel the sorrows of people crying in pain. Day-by-day the sight was becoming horrible. I wiped my tears and realized that at last everything would be fine. I went off to my bed. The sun rose and I got to know that it was next day, a new morning….. I woke up and saw the calendar. It was 3025. I was shocked. Thought that it was a dream but when I drew the curtains slowly, I was feeling horrified and what I saw was unbelievable… I saw that outside my window the whole lane was converted into a graveyard having lot of graves of people.

THE BELATED STAND AGAINST MENTAL ILLNESS

The debate around mental illness was never as relevant, as it stands today. Locked within the four walls of our homes, for over 2 months has had its share of ramification. No matter how much we tried to accept this lockdown situation with alacrity, it took a toll on our sanity on some days if not more. If being bereft of social interaction wasn’t enough, the recent tragic death of an up and coming, promising actor, devastated movie goers, dreamers, strugglers, all alike. Why is it that the death of an actor by suicide impacted us profoundly, made us zealously discuss mental health on social media, something that was earlier a rarity? Mental health issues have existed even before, but the stigma associated with it, blocked the victims from seeking help for the same. The society was wrong in classifying issues like depression, stress and other mental ailments, under strict heads; depression was meant for people who had little to nothing to look forward to, because they failed at achi...

When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” — Haruki Murakami,  Kafka on the Shore   The world today is definitely experiencing what Murakami shares as a sentiment in his novel ‘Kafka on the Shore.’ Life was happening to everyone the way it used to. There was nothing that could possibly disturb our daily routines, our conversations so much that we would be forced to question it.

Say No To Child labour

It is well considered that the childhood is the loveliest of all life's seasons and a few kids get denied of this wonderful experience. child labour is constantly viewed as a curse to our social society and an unspeakable atrocity.

After all, anything that deprives a human being of a dignified life can be a bane only but if we look at figures related to the spread of COVID-19 in India, we might have to think about this notion once again. No doubts, people living at the bottom of the pyramid have always been more prone to diseases like Covid-19.
