The world was full of joy. Citizens of all country were enjoying of beauty of the world. All of us were living happily performing both inside and outside tasks in a groups. Unfortunately, Covid-19 virus started from China and spreads throughout the world killing thousands of people and made people and made this world unhappy.
Covid virus could communicate easily from one person to another person. The world was bound to be under lockdown on March 2020. Our country Nepal also announced lockdown. Since this was the first experience, many of us were unfamiliar and unknown about the term lockdown and we all were scared. As the 4th grade student, I couldn’t understand much. I just wanted to play outdoor games with my friends. My parents had tough time controlling me. So, I was started bored and scared just being inside the house. Although our school was closed physically, it has started online classes. Having to rely on electricity our online classes were frequently disturbed power cut off. I was able to understand simple subject on my own but challenging subjects Math, Science were difficult to understand without interacting with teacher face to face. As a result giving exams was not easy.
During the regular school, I used to play basketball, cricket and football with my friends. Unfortunately, all of my joy of outdoor games playing with my friends was taken away by Covid-19. Since there was nothing to do to kill my time, I was started playing games in computer slowly. The habit of playing game in computer increased day by day. As I became couch potato, my weight started to increase and the impact is till now. One of the positive side of Covid-19 for me is that through you tube I was able to learn some of my favorite hobby drawing. Since there were no vehicles on the street and all of the factories were closed, the environment of Kathmandu city where I live became pollution free. At that time, my mom was always conscious about our family heath and she always prepared home meal which was free from junk food. During Covid, our family members started doing yoga exercise at home. We, family members, play cards, chess enchant mantra, slocks of Sanskrit of our Hindu religions.
Similarly, I was able to learn basic cooking skills such as making a cup of tea, noodles, pasta etc. I also started to listen to the news through social media and TV and I was unhappy to hear death of so many people because of the Covid-19 all around the world. Many were struggling to survive and they did not have medical supply.
Though we were very careful, my grandfather suffered by Corona Virus. His situation became worse day by day. We took him to the hospital by ambulance. There were no adequate beds in the hospitals and there was also the lack of basic medicines like cetamol. Though one needs cure during sickness, but we were not allowed to go near and touch sick person suffered by Covid-19, as the virus could communicate easily. The sick person had to be isolated, as a result his/her psychological mind was disturbed. I was not able to touch my beloved Grandfather, never enjoying having sick person in the family.
Though, Covid taught us some new skill like online classes, prepare basic food; the whole world was not happy as the life was not happy as the life was so uncertain. I felt bring in front of electronic gadget after a while and I was eagerly waiting for the school to start physically. Life wasn’t the same as before Covid-19 even after the school opened physically. I was scared of sneezing and coughing in the school bus. I hated wearing mask every time. I hope that we will not have to be suffered from this communicable diseases again and hope to live happily. We had new experiences about Covid-19, which was very pity and memorable.
