Dear Readers

My name is Armaan Gill and I am 13 years old. I thought staying at home would be fun and school online would be fun. The first 2 weeks were fun but after that I got bored. I started to miss my friends who I would see daily. I started to miss my cousins who I would see every weekend. I was getting bored as no one was able to play with me. My whole family was busy in their own online world. Everyone would have a video call or a conference online sometime in the day. The lock down stopped me from doing the activities I love like cricket, running, dancing, debating and swimming. However, the thing I missed most during lock down were my grandparents who were stuck in India due to corona virus. Since they were too old, and restrictions were placed they were not able to come home.

I really missed the company, the times that they played with me and the delicious cooking. However due to lock down I helped my parents in the garden and I got to socialise with my family, friends and cousins through social media, voice calls, video calls and online games. I also remember going for a haircut during corona virus and I remember how scared I was. Now that life is almost back to normal, I am happy to see my friends who I see every day at school. I am happy to see my cousins who I see now every weekend. We can go shopping, go to cafes and continue normal life. Now sports are also starting which is a big relief. However now I just wish that my grandparents were able to come back home.
