It still seems like the sci-fi movie. Does is not? The past one year? It’s the new normal they say… not the normal humans were accustomed to right?

Lockdown not a widely used term before the “lockdown” had a mix impact on the behaviour of a college student. It was like any other new thing you were excited and cautious at first but than it took a toll and made you restless. I’ve been staying at my house for almost a year now and tbh the kind of care that I received in the first few months of the lockdown has now been fading. Also sometimes our actions make it worse or better. Depending upon the topic of discussion.

Well it’s never a discussion in a young adult’s house, but an heated debate. In the recent weeks it has been the question – is physical presence of the teacher and “every term is important” kind of attention more necessary for a primary school child or an undergraduate? One may argue that “safety comes before priority” but who has a better change of tackling it? A person who is at least 18 years of their age and who has been in the world outside their home on their own or a kid whose ice-cream just fell off the cone because of the purple coloured ice-creme cone that got his attention from the other side of the road!?

I’m not trying to say that a teenager is careless I’m just saying that an adult has more experience at life and is in a better place to take wiser and safer decisions.

Though I’ve reached at the conclusion that being wise is not always about facing challenges. It’s about making life easier. I’ve convinced myself that the comfort of my bed is better than any modern or attractive looking desk and bench at college.

Btw today our teacher in online class left us puzzled with a question of hers. She asked us if we could imagine an elephant carving a table than please draw it and share with the class!
