Great things are expected of students as they are the citizens of tomorrow. On their broad shoulders rests the responsibility of eradicating illiteracy and ignorance and uplifting the society. India expects them to do their duty and to donate willingly and smilingly, blood, toil, hard work and labour. The aim before students should not be strikes and hooliganism but selfless social service. Students are not mercenaries bit missionaries. They are the torch bearers. They are to burn other lamps with their light. They are to go out to serve their country fellow men. They are to inject their blood into the dry bones of the nation. They are to spread light and laughter wherever they go.
Students get long vacation. It is criminal to let them go waste. Students from vital areas can help the villagers in agriculture. They can turn the fallow lands into smiling fields with their own hands. Students can demonstrate to the villagers the scientific methods of agriculture. They can teach them how to collect village refuse and turn it 8nto manure which doubles the yield of crops per acre. They can impress the villagers that to burn cow dung is to burn gold. It is the students who can do immense social service in the community projects and national extension services. They can brings about a revolution in the villagers and completely change the face of the country.
Illiteracy is rampant in India. It prevails in every nook and corner. Students owe a debt to society. It is their duty to impart education to their illiterate brethren. They must give in the same measure as they have received and are still receiving. The villagers cannot exercise their right to vote intelligently and correctly if they cannot read a book or a newspaper. The students can do a lot in this respect and they must not shirk off their responsibility.
True social service lies in learning the dignity of labour, learning to do things with our own hands. Students must serve the masses as a matter of national duty and as a in labour of love. It would be in the interest of the country if social service is made compulsory for the award of a university degree.
To sum up, every one must work hard to raise india. More work falls to the share of the students as they are more energetic than others. Students must have a burning desire to serve India. They must not expect any reward in return. A good action is its own reward
Dr. Rajendra Prasad was born on 3rd December, 1884 in a small village named Ziradai in Saran district of Bihar. He was the youngest child of his parents. He was a student of Chapra Zilla school. In 1902, he appeared for the Entrance Examination of Calcutta University and got the first position.

He was a man of life upright. In Indian politics, he was known as an Ajat Shatru. Even his opponents admired him for his sense of justice, fair play, integrity and sincerity.
Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan was one of the greatest philosophers of modern times. He was born at Tiruttani now in Tamilnadu on September 5, 1888. His father’s name was Sarvapalli Vira Swami and mother’s name was Sattima. Sarvapalli was the name of his ancestral village in Andhra Pradesh. Born in an orthodox brahmin family, it was not very difficult for him to study epics and puranas at an early age.
He had his early education at Tiruchani. He did his Intermediate (F.A.) at the Voorhees College, Vellore and degree at the Christian College, Madras(now Chennai) at the age of 17 years. While studying at the Christian College, he came under the influence of the Bible but he could never tolerate the criticism on Hindu Religion and culture. He analysed the truths in both the Hindu and the Christian religions and was convinced that truth is the same in all religions. Hence his interest in Indian philosophy, religion and culture grew more and more. He was a very intelligent and brilliant student and had a keen interest in studies right from the beginning, consequently he got scholarships at various stages of his student life. In 1908 he wrote a paper, Moral Principles of Vedanta. After securing his Masters degree in philosophy he was appointed first as Assistant Professor and later as Professor of Philosophy in the Presidency College, Madras. During this time he read thoroughly the Upanishads, Vedanta, the Bhagwat Geeta and books on Buddhism and widened his knowledge on these subjects. He also read Western Philosophy of Plato, Plutinus and many other eminent philosophers.
He was a great orator. He could critically analyse and explain philosophical truths. Students liked his lectures and simplicity. He was considered as a model teacher. He often used to say,”Teaching gives me satisfaction and peace of mind.”
He served as a Junior Professor in government training college, Rajahmundry for sometime. In 1918, he joined the Maharaja college,Mysore as a professor of Philosophy. He was a prolific writer.He hot published his lectures and speeches in a book entitled”The Essentials of Psychology.” This added to his fame. He also wrote the books – Reason of religion in contemporary philosophy, Indian philosophy (in 6wo volumes). These books made him world famous. In 1926 he went abroad for the first time, and delivered lectures on Indian philosophy, Vedanta, civilization and Indian culture. The intelligentsia over the were greatly influenced by him. He was a visiting professor of philosophy to many western universities including Oxford University, England. He served as vice chancellor of many universities notably 1931-1936 ad vice chancellor of Andhra University,1939, Banaras Hindu University. He served at the same post for some time even in Calcutta.
He brought about many administrative reforms in these universities. While serving at Banaras he came under the influence of Gandhiji.
He had an ‘exceptional style’ in delivering lectures which was his forte. After independence from 1949-1952 he served as an Ambassador of India in Moscow and he was the first one to be received in person by the great leader Stalin. In 1952 he became the vice President of India. During his tenure as vice President he visited many countries eg Peru, China, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Japan, and Africa.

Children are called as the leaders of the future generations. They are also known to be the torch bearers for the future of the human society. Universal Children’s Day is celebrated every year on the 20th of November as an observance to promote children rights and welfare. Every year, the United Nations (UN) provides a particular theme for this day to improve the conditions of children and build a better environment for them. It was first celebrated in the year 1954 to encourage unity and friendliness among children across various nations. In the year 1959, the United Nations General Assembly accepted the Declaration of the children’s rights on the 20th of November. Therefore, this day is celebrated as Universal Children’s Day.
The theme
The theme for this year by UNICEF is to help children to recover from interruptions and learning losses experienced through the pandemic in the last two years and contribute towards the betterment of the children. Hence, the UNICEF has started a #GoBlue Campaign to highlight the issues faced by children due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has shown us how unequal and unfair things have been for the children of the nation. From climate change to racism, many children have been deprived from their basic rights and the youngsters have been raising their voices against such injustices to lead the world towards a better future. Hence, the UNGA has requested several countries to support this cause so the children will be able to lead a better life. To support this cause, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) will be holding a parliamentary meeting today at 7:30 pm to raise awareness regarding such issues.
India’s Contribution

India has also supported this campaign by illuminating monuments like Qutub Minar and Rashtrapati Bhavan with blue lights. The parliament buildings like North block and south block have also been lit up in the capital city of India on the occasion of World Children’s Day.
Conclusion
This purpose of this year’s theme is to encourage children and youngsters to highlight the issues faced by them and urges adults to understand and take the required actions for the future generations’ well-being. This World Children’s Day, it is extremely important to raise awareness against the discrimination and the racism faced by little children. it is more important than ever, that the leaders listen to their ideas and demands and take actions accordingly. It is our responsibility as a human being to create and build a better world for the children and we must work extremely hard towards achieving that goal.

Now that schools and colleges are limping back to offline mode after long perturbation of Covid 19 pandemic, a question may strike whether offline mode of learning is really better when compared to online learning process. However, both forms of education have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of online education: 1) It is flexible. All you need is a device with internet connection and can attend your classes from anywhere across the world. 2) Class recordings are available for later reference. 3) It is budget friendly and saves the cost of transportation , lodging and other necesseties that one has to pay whilst physically attending classes.
Advantages of offline learning: 1) Face to face student and teacher interaction helps in better understanding as teacher can give full attention to students, address their issues and solve them. 2) No distractions whilst studying since there are no other modes of entertainment where students might focus on whilst stidying.
Disadvantages of online learning: 1) Students might induldge in other activities such as surfing net, visiting social media platforms etc whilst attending classes which in turn will hamper their learning process. 2) Another disadvantage is technical glitches. Internet connectivity issues might arise during online classes thus disrupting smooth learning.
Disadvantages of offline learning: 1) No recording is available for students for later references. 2) Time management becomes an issue for students living faraway.

National Princess Day comes around annually on November 18, so clear your schedule and prepare for a magical day of pampering and fabulousness. Everyone has a favorite princess (real or fake) and dreams of being treated like one (at least for a day). A dream is a wish your heart makes, and it’s time to make that wish come true.
HISTORY
The first princess to come to our TV screens was Snow White in 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this movie was also the first full length traditional animation film as well as the earliest Disney animated feature film. When Xena: Warrior Princess came out in 1995 and Mulan was released in 1998, they showed everyone that a princess can do more than wear a pretty dress. These two iconic women let children everywhere know that a princess can also be a strong and adventurous warrior. New wave princesses like Moana and Frozen’s Elsa show us that you can still be a princess while maintaining your independence.
We all grew up with animated, and live action, princesses guiding us through life. When thinking of our favorite princesses, our minds instantly go to Disney. However, when it comes to National Princess Day, Disney had very little involvement in its inception. Nest Family Entertainment, a Texas based entertainment company, teamed up with Rich Animation in 1994 to create the animated film The Swan Princess, a musical adaptation of Swan Lake. The studio wanted people of every age to have a day to celebrate like royalty, embodying the kindness and grace that we all associated with princess at the time — and thus, National Princess Day was created.
The definition of a princess is constantly changing. From the 1930s until the 1990s, princesses were meant to be saved by a prince and live happily ever after. Nowadays, princesses create their own happily ever after, save the prince, and then put the prince squarely in the friend zone. So basically, embodying a princess on National Princess Day is to embody, what the kids call, the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time)
FACTS
Almost everyone is fascinated by princesses but few people know everything there is to know about some of the famous fictional princesses of all time. That’s why we’re listing some of the top facts about princesses below.

Food secure future is a significant issue for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) yet in addition for India. Worldwide Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), truth be told, cautions that evolving environment, developing worldwide populace, rising food costs and natural stressors will uncertainly affect food security in the coming many years. Notwithstanding, industry specialists and strategy creators accept that the UAE and India can up their synergistic endeavors to handle food security issues towards accomplishing food independence.
This is because the United Arab Emirates is India’s third largest trading partner with the bilateral trade of US$ 59.1 billion in 2019-20. Furthermore, it is a well-known fact that India wants to work very closely with the UAE as a reliable partner in food security. India’s food corridor is slated to attract investments to the tune of US$ 7 billion. Dubai can be a gateway for Indian companies in agriculture and food processing sector to take their products and services globally. This is the opinion of Dr Aman Puri council general of India.
According to him the UA should not be looked at as just a market of 10 million consumers rather it is is beneficial to the entire middle East and North African region. It is considered food secure due to its ability to import food from international markets.
The food technology valley aims at promoting innovation in agriculture to achieve food security from sustainable sources. Dubai is already adopting the new age farming technologies, vertical farming, smart farming, aeroponics, hydroponics, LOT and other new technologies have resulted in a 53% increase in output in agriculture.
The capital intensive nature of the Emirates aptly suits India which needs funding infusions for infrastructure creation. All the sovereign wealth funds have an investor bill capacity of around US$ 1.2 trillion which is growing at a rate of 18 % per annum.
India is on the threshold of a landmark change in the nature of food processing it is now moving towards value-added process and ready to eat foods. Thus, there has never been a better time for the Indian companies to tap the opportunities that the UAE and Dubai throw up. With the peceeding opportunities, both UAE and India face a common challengeas well, in the creation of value chain perspective, that is, end-to-end, farm-to-fork. So, moving forward, the two countries can deepen their collaboration and help each other in achieving this goal.
The cargo control room, CCR, or cargo office of a tankship is where the person in charge (PIC) can monitor and control the loading and unloading of the ship’s liquid cargo. Prevalent on automated vessels, the CCR may be in its own room, or located on the ship’s bridge. Among other things, the equipment in the CCR may allow the person in charge to control cargo and stripping pumps, control and monitor valve positions, and monitor cargo tank liquid levels.
Many systems allow the PIC to monitor the ballast system and ship’s stability during load and discharge
Cargo control rooms began to appear on U.S.-flag tankers in the mid-1960s. Prior to this time, valves were operated manually on deck by reach rods and liquid levels were monitored by a roving watch consisting of the mate and seamen on watch. The use of computers in the cargo control room began in the 1980s. As technology developed, computerized systems began to centralize tasks such as cargo control per se, tank level monitoring, and real-time computation of hull stress information in the cargo control room.
Schematic showing various cargoes loaded, trim, and list.
Monitoring systems that do not use computers are still often seen
The design and layout of an individual cargo control room is determined by the ship’s design, owner’s requirements and the capabilities of the shipyard in which the ship is built. Modern cargo control rooms offer some or all of these components: main cargo pump and stripping pump control, valve control, tank level monitoring, and auxiliary functions.
Main cargo pumps and stripping pumps are used to discharge cargo from the ship. From the cargo control room, the person in charge of the discharge can typically turn pumps on and off, set pump speeds, and monitor pipeline pressures on the suction- and discharge-sides of pumps.
A Cargo Contol system is a highly integrated system that controls and monitors cargo activities.
By actuating cargo valves, the person in charge can control where cargo is pumped from, where it is pumped to, and in systems that use throttle valves, can control the relative flow rates of cargo through the valves. Modern cargo control rooms allow the person in charge to remotely control some or all of the valves in the cargo system and monitor the state of all valves. Valve indicators are typically laid out on a “mimic panel” which displays the cargo system piping, valves and pumps in a schematic diagram.
Tank level monitoring is another key functionality often provided in modern cargo control rooms. One aspect of tank level monitoring is overfill alarms, which sound throughout the ship when cargo levels exceed the ship’s design specifications. Many systems allow the person in charge to monitor tank levels at all tank levels. Tank level monitoring allows the person in charge to take early action to avoid oil spills, especially when loading the ship. Tank level information is often sent to computers that calculate hull stresses such as shear forces and bending moments.
Various other functions are available in some cargo control rooms. Many offer the person in charge additional monitoring and control systems, the ability to monitor inert gas systems, and tank pressures. Modern cargo control rooms typically allow the person in charge to control ballast pumps and valves, and monitor oil content of ballast water by the use of oily water separators. In cases where ships carry specialty products, specialized monitoring systems are available in the cargo control room.
Imagine this. It’s the beginning of a new academic year in a new school or college and you enter a classroom full of chattering students. Does that sound like a nightmare to you? Do you wish that a teacher or a professor should enter the class soon so that there will be silence and you won’t feel left out? If you do, you know that you are a shy person. Shyness is an obstruction that prevents you from presenting yourself in a social situation. One might even find ways to avoid a social situation due to his or her shyness.
Shy people often wait for the others to begin a conversation and hope to be invited into their friend circle. Once they become comfortable around a bunch of people, they seem to have overcome their shyness and become the life of the party around them.
Why could you be shy?

During such daunting social situations, you might have had this question in your mind, “Why am I so shy?” The answer could range from something serious such as being bullied, or subtle such as lack of experience with social situations. There are also biological aspects such as genetics that influence the trait of shyness within a person. Shyness is often the result of the environment and an individual’s relationship with their parents.
Having had strict or doting parents during childhood could result in the development of shyness in an individual. Shy parents could also render their children to be shy. Public humiliation or overly critical workspaces develop a sense of shyness among adults.

There are people around us like close friends and family members who relatively lean on the bolder and talkative side of the spectrum. They might be able to get things done by talking and socialising at an event might be easier for them. You can take cues from them and act accordingly when you feel shy.
Start simple
Initiating a conversation with a stranger is often intimidating as we might not always know what to say. You can start simple by introducing yourself and asking questions such as “Where are you from?”, “What kind of hobbies do you enjoy?”, or you can ask for a simple favor or information. Asking questions can help you know the person better and you may find some similar hobbies and interests that you can talk about.
Join groups with similar interests
Find groups of similar interests and hobbies, you will have a lot to talk and share about with people in such places.
Visualise being bold

One of the effective ways to overcome shyness is to imagine yourself as bold and confident. An upcoming social situation need not be feared with the imagination of embarrassment and humiliation. Instead, visualise yourself having a good time talking to people.
So there you go! These are some of the ways you can overcome shyness. Do embrace yourselves as you make progress with overcoming your shyness. There are considerate and helpful people who are willing to accept you the way you are.

The credo of Indian Military Academy – ‘ The safety, honour, and welfare of your country comes first, always and every time. The honour, comfort and safety of the man you command comes next. Your own ease, comfort & safety comes last, always and every time.’ – is a mantra that every Indian soldier lives by. The commitment of a soldier to his duty and his sheer determination to fulfill it is something that sets him apart from the rest of the crowd. Company Havildar Major Piru Singh, the hero of battle of Darapari, was no different.
Early Life
Piru Singh was born on 20th May 1918, in Rampura village, Churu, Rajasthan.He came from an agricultural family of the warrior clan of the Rajputs. His father Lal Singh and mother Tarawati Kanwar (Jarav Devi) had seven children – three boys and four girls – with Singh being the youngest. Even as a young boy, he loved outdoor life and had an aversion to restricted environments. Singh discontinued schooling at a young age. The rest of his childhood was spent helping his father in his farm. Right from his younger days he had an inclination to join the army. Despite being rejected twice, Singh never gave up and eventually got selected on his third attempt. He joined the British Indian Army coincidentally on his 18th birthday on 20th May 1936.
On joining, Singh was initially assigned to the 10th Battalion of the 1st Punjab Regiment at Jhelum. After completion of his training, he was transferred to the 5th Battalion of the same regiment on 1st May 1937. Surprisingly, the boy who despised school and had no interest in studies had transformed into a committed soldier who took serious interest in education. He cleared the Indian Army Class Certificate of Education and a series of other army examinations and got promoted to the rank of lance Naik within a brief span. He served on the North-West Frontier during his tenure with the 5th Battalion of the 1st Punjab regiment. It took less than a year before he was promoted from Lance Naik to the rank of Naik. In September 1941, he was posted to the Punjab Regiment Centre at Jhelum, as an instructor.
Singh was also a wonderful sportsman and represented his regiment in basketball, hockey and cross-country running at the inter-regimental and national level championships. In February 1942, he was promoted to Havildar and later to the rank of Company Havildar Major in May 1945. Until October 1945, he served the army as an instructor. He was deployed to Japan as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force after the Second World War, where he served until September 1947. By the time he returned from Japan, India had been partitioned and therefore the Indian army had undergone reorganization. Consequently CHM Piru Singh was transferred to the 6th Battalion of the Rajputana Rifles Regiment.
Battle of Darapari : Background
It was during this time around that the tensions between India and Pakistan were escalating, over the control of the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir. Eventually in October 1947, war broke out between the two countries.The Spring of 1948 was utilised, by the Indian Army, to rid the Kashmir valley of the infiltrators. General Thimayya, General Officer commanding Sri division, decided to launch the offensive with the main thrust along the Uri-Domel road by 161 Infantry Brigade under Brigadier L.P Sen. 163 Infantry Brigade under Brigadier Harbaksh Singh was detailed to carry out a divisionary operation towards Tithwal from Handwara. To deal with the enemy forces around the Bagh area, the Poonch Brigade was assigned to carry out a battalion operation towards Bagh. In the third week of May, Dogarpur, Trehagam and Chokibal were captured and on 22nd May, Tithwal sector was captured by the Indian forces.

Pakistan, enraged by the setback in the Tithwal sector, launched repeated counter attacks and recaptured the village of Tithwal in the hills of Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistani raiders launched offensive strikes in this region and captured a ring contour on the 8th of July 1948. The enemy pushed to seize control over the positions across the river Kishanganga and the Indian Army was forced to vacate their forward positions across the river. In the wake of this setback , in order to strengthen the advance on the Tithwal sector, Piru Singh’s unit – the 6th Battalion of Rajputana Rifles – was moved from Uri to Tithwal and was assigned to the 163rd Brigade. The unit took position on the Tithwal bridge.
The attacks commenced on the 11th of July. The operation went on for four days till the 15th of July. However, according to the reconnaissance report, the Pakistanis were still in command of two strategically important positions. The capture of these two positions was essential for making any further advancement. The task of securing these two features was assigned to the 6th Rajputana Rifles. Two companies – Charlie ( C ) and Delta ( D ) – were assigned to the operation. The C company was in charge of securing the second position after the D company had captured the first.
Battle of Darapari : The Day of Action
The D Company, of which CHM Piru Singh was a part, was sent to capture the Darapari feature in Tithwal sector. Darapari is a hill feature located at an altitude of over 11000 feet. The path leading to the position held by the Pakistanis had deep ravines on either side and was just about one meter wide. According to the intelligence reports received, the battalion was told that the enemy had not had enough time to dig-in intensively and hence could be dislodged without much struggle. This however proved to be inaccurate. The narrow path through which the battalion was advancing was overlooked by five hidden Pakistani bunkers ,which gave the defending troops a clear advantage in terms of position. The time constraints restricted the battalion from having a proper reconnaissance of the enemy position. In order to take advantage of the darkness, the attack to secure Darapari was planned to take place after the moon had set and was launched at 01.30 a.m on the 18th of July. As the attack advanced, the company was subjected to heavy shelling and within a matter of about half an hour, the casualty count had reached to a whooping 51. The platoon commander Subedar Bhika Singh was hit. A sinking feeling of panic had swept over them and there was absolute chaos amidst the rest of the team. It was then that Piru Singh rose to the occasion and took charge of the team and led his platoon with a determination that not even the raging bullets from the rival MMG posts could waver.
The enemy medium machine guns had been sited to cover all possible approaches. The platoon led by Singh was met with heavy firing from both flanks and a volley of grenades from the bunkers. Neither the murderous firing nor the fact that half of his platoon was either dead or wounded, could falter him. With the battle cry of ‘Raja Ramachandra ki Jai’, he rushed forward to crush the MMG post which was playing havoc with his troops. His exceptional leadership motivated the rest of the crew to follow their leader ferociously. With the curtain of grenades tearing through him, wounding him at several places, he continued to advance. He rushed to the MMG which was causing the maximum destruction and bayoneted the men on guard and occupied the post.
By this time the rest of his men were either dead or wounded and he was the sole survivor of his company. Alone and injured, but with a never-say-die attitude, Singh inched forward to achieve the objective assigned. While advancing towards the second MMG post, a grenade was thrown at him, which wounded him in the face. Neither the blood dripping from his face nor an empty reserve of ammunition could kill his spirits. He crawled out of the trench, hurling grenades at the next enemy post and then jumped to the next trench bayonetting two Pakistani soldiers to death. As Singh emerged out of the trench to attack the third bunker, he was hit in the head by a bullet. Just before he succumbed to his injuries, he had managed to throw a grenade into the enemy trench, which did a perfect job of wiping off the enemies. CHM Piru Singh had thus bravely and selflessly completed his mission before he closed his eyes for the final time.

Every soldier has a story buried under his gravestone and Piru Singh’s is that of his extreme courage, supreme sacrifice, exemplary leadership and above all his unconditional love for his motherland.
Coronavirus has 3.45Cr new cases right now with 4.64L deaths. Presently it is not spreading severely and has decreased its effect slightly. But still, we should be careful by wearing masks, using sanitizers, maintaining hygiene, and get vaccinated as the third wave is in its way. The covid-19 virus became a part of our daily lives. We should not forget its adverse destruction as it is less right now cause it hasn’t ended yet. It might have started as a small virus in Wuhan city in China, but now it is spread worldwide. It had stopped the world and drove away many people like flood erodes soil.
Coronavirus has made many people jobless, leaving them stuck in the middle of this pandemic fighting with a new virus, and as if it was not enough, food was scarce, and even if they found some food, they didn’t have money to buy it. The Coronavirus was taking the lives of our loved ones, leaving our lives shattered. Many street sellers and small shop owners lost their livelihood. Because of this virus, big companies like Ford only closed their company in India, leaving many employees unemployed. What can we talk about other companies after this?
But this pandemic had some excellent effects, too it brought us together, arose humanity in our hearts, and let us put the world first. People like Sonu Sood helped many people to go to their villages. A girl gave all the money their parents saved for her studies for the betterment of the world. And many other people living in this fast-moving world started realizing that unity is strength; instead of just working for their improvement or providing their family with everything, they began helping others. It brought out kindness and made us realize that we are all human beings. It also increased relations among family members as they started staying at home, their interaction with family increased, thereby family relations improved.
Some NGOs also remembered the street animals, fed them, and proved that we are still concerned about fellow creatures. However, some people who used to stick together and always had each other’s backs are now becoming self-centered. They are not helping other people when they are affected by covid-19. But they do not realize that others won’t help them when they are involved too. Some didn’t help their own family by leaving food at their doorstep or taking them to the hospital when the entire family was affected by COVID. Coronavirus brought out the true colors of the people around us, showing us who truly cares about us.
As everyone stayed at their homes, the pollution decreased immensely, leading to the timely rains and improved the environment. This virus also took away the difference between rich and poor. The rich man has realized that even if he had set aside a lot of money throughout the years, money couldn’t always save a life. Poor people who lived near the roads and didn’t even have food due to no work had no other option than to see their loved ones die in front of their eyes. A woman sat in front of a government hospital with her husband laying in her laps, suffering from Corona, hoping a bed would be free. But her hope shattered when he died in her lap because of no vacancy of beds, and this incident touched many people’s hearts, and this is not the only one; the list goes on.
Youth who lost jobs started freelancing until they found a job. Few people had started their online businesses. Some lost their lives at the start because they were scared of the new virus and, even if they were mildly affected, started committing suicide as they were not used to staying alone in the house, isolated. But we need to be strong as maybe not this virus, but surely life will put you through challenging situations, and you need to be strong enough to face them. The education sector broke because of this virus, and students were most affected. Many students who did so well in the school became uninterested in studies as results were not as they deserved. When they applied for re-evaluation, as many students applied, they didn’t do that properly either. Now they lack motivation and try to study but end up procrastinating about it.
Anyway, Coronavirus at least taught us hygiene. All we can do right now is hope that the future will be better, and more than that, help each other and stay united in thought and spirit while doing the work we are supposed to do.
