Crazy Quarantine
As I am the student I was delightful at the last day of our board exams. Who wouldn't be? After a yearlong preparation, I feit free. Any student would have felt the sense of happiness at that time. All year long, students were pressurized to study, and that made us busy just like the adults. Even if we desire to learn something new, or acquire a hobby, our inexplicably busy schedule and pressure as a student inevitably crumbled our desire. After the final exam, I had the perfect amount of time and resources to do many drawings learn many songs, acquire hobbies and simply enjoying myself. The thought of finally being free of studies, even for a short period of time, made my heart flutter. As many days passed, each day filled with curiosity, passion and activeness, I experienced boredom after a long time. Now, all I wanted was a taste of being busy all over again and eagerly waited for my school to reopen and start my new session. Lo and behold! The world was dying out of this killer virus, and there was going to be lockdown which cancelled all my plans. I was both furious and sad. Now, even my parents were forced to stay at home. We all were stuck in our home, seeking entertainment. As an avid book reader, I had decided to read many books throughout the vacation, but now even books were hard to find now. I started downloading e.books, which helped for a short period of time. Though, everything has a limit. I was getting seriously bored from reading all day long. I was waiting something to quench my thirst for entertainment. Usually, I didn't used to play with my brother, who had a passion to break rules. But one day, as we had nothing to do, we played together after many days. The feeling was special, as if I am a little girl all over again. This experience was like a rain in the desert. Now that my parents were tree from work, we decided to play some games, which helped us discover each other's latent personalities and talents. My father, a serious and honest person, reflected his childish behavior while playing ludo and cheating in it! My mother, an introvert type of a person, was actually pretty good in cricket! The lockdown was a gateway to the happiness which I was searching for during these complex conditions. Whatever the condition is right now, I have finally learnt to bring happiness through these dark times, not only by spending time with my family, but also spending time with me, myself.
