Life Before and After Corona - By Ryan Banerjee

The day when Corona started, we all were taking it lightly and thought that it would end in a month or two but after a few weeks the virus started infecting more and more people.

Corona is a worldwide virus. It started from China. I was very angry during the lock-down as I could not go out of my house to enjoy or to attend classes but the advantage is that there is very less pollution. I also started enjoying staying at home. I never thought that this virus would stay for such a long time. Suddenly people started dying due to it. Many celebrities too. But I still thought it would end but it didn’t. I stayed at home for a month and then I lost all my patience and wanted to go out so much that I almost cried. But crying will not change anything. I also wanted to go school, not only me but all my friends too.

We started having online classes. I enjoyed them and also met my friends after a long time but our class was only for an hour. We also did not have any contests, shows etc. But then as the time passed, we started having classes as we did at school. I was very happy.  We started having contests too. As I could not play with my friends at school, I started playing online games with my friends. We had a lot of fun. I played indoor games too with my father.

This is the way I spent my time during the lock-down. But no one can be happy without meeting their friends but I still manage somehow. As the year passed we observed many festivals and went out too. We went out to restaurants etc. with restriction and wearing masks. I am very glad as I could do these activities during this pandemic. I hope this all gets over soon.
