The Epidemic The summer vacation is the most enjoyable part of every student's life. The fresh green soothing grass kissing our feet, in the sunny warm evening, at the grounds and myself marching along with my friends, bouncing the ball all through the streets we went, carrying the bats over our shoulders in the classic way lord Hanuman held his maze. We eagerly waited for the clock to turn four and as it happened at once we used to jump out of our homes to embrace this sense of freedom which summer has gifted us. As soon as the word summer hit the tympanum automatically all these thoughts comes in the mind. Hearing the word summer vacation thrilled us, filled us with full of energy enthusiasm and joy, with all the discipline of school throughout a year this was the time at which we could do anything and everything freely without any viles. In the year of 2020 when summer arrived it was cursed with coronavirus.The busy world of twenty first century came to a standstill with its arrival. Almost three million people have affected worldwide and more than one lakh of people have already died. Still no one can predict how and by when world will overcome this health crisis. The disease is very new to the scientific world and the worst part of it is that it has no vaccine or precise medicine. It has shaken the life of all sections of the society and children are also one of it's victims. The lockdown has gravend our life.Indeed the government of India has shown applaudable governance, administration with right and bold steps at the right time, no offence on that regard, but if you think it from the point of view of a child this was very unfair of fate. For us, it is impossible to even imagine a summer vacation without football or cricket. As we are all deprived of outdoor freedom everything has become indoors even the possibilities of virtual sports have been explored. Online classes, online meetings, etc have gained much momentum which have furthermore worsened our mental health. Game addiction had been a common complaint from our parents but now we are even fed up of playing mobile games. Despite all this said, this lockdown has definitely brought about a lot of positive changes. For instance, children have started re exploring the treasures of books, the joy of writing, the melody of real music, the joy of scribbling your own sketches, laughing over them or admiring over your own creativity. Through this period of stillness, calmness and peace one is rediscovering his own self, which he never believed to have existed. I never imagined that my hot headed father was not very volatile. He who was mostly at the edge of his temper scolding us over the smallest of mistakes has now become quite and friendly. Family carrom board matches has become common now. This lockdown has also turned to be a boon between human nature relationship. I could never think that the environment at which I live could be this beautiful, suddenly coconut trees have become such an interesting object to gaze upon, the movement of gliding eagles which I had seen since childhood has become very interesting to me during this time. Looking through the windows over the plants trees ,the sky have become a common habit. Even the slightest of the breeze have started giving me immense pleasure. The greatest lesson this difficult time through which mankind is passing by gives us is that, the experiences are not decided by the circumstances but how we take it. Life will always pour you with new experiences and it depends on you how you make them. If we are in a good stable mindset and handle all this with cheerfulness every task which a person with weaker mindset considers as problem will be a new opportunity for us. So the key is to " take them in your stride with a smile". No matter what, "we will overcome". We will play on that sunny ground again, we will feel the freedom of summer vacation again.
