Can we take a U-turn?

It is that time of the year when we hold events that bring in vibrancy to the campus.

Taking a walk around the campus today made me realize how much we miss the loud, noisy classrooms! The once-upon-a-time noisy classrooms have become synonymous with silence. How sad!

When will this glum look vanish?

The corridors and the assembly area put on such a gloomy look. It was just suffocating to step into the library. The books that always journeyed from one hand to another, almost shed tears. They must be feeling they are ignored. The digi-boards seem to be craving for a touch! The most happening place in the campus– the playground – looks lush green, yet it seemed to tell me the painful stories of solitude. The kids’ park which echoed cheers and shouts doesn’t even seem to recognize any sound now! The deserted look of the lunch hall reminded me of the good old days there. The staff rooms which were colorful with the presence of the pretty ladies are definitely going through some serious depression. The Wisdom Tree and Gulmohur which usually smile with their yellow and red blooms don’t even bother to sway in the wind!

With an invisible virus and its attack, we took shelter in the Zoom Rooms, moving away from the classrooms! We did think it was an ESCAPE, but was it actually an escape?

When will we get back to campus with the loud cheers and gleeful faces of the Rosebuddies? When will the carnivals and exhibitions bring fun and frolic to the campus? When will we have a little chit chat while sipping the tea, before the bell rings for the next period?

Dear Corona, please go away at the earliest! We have had enough and more than enough of you! 

Please be ABSENT! 

When teachers call out your name, let us shout in chorus - 

Corona is absent, miss! 

Missing the good, old campus! Seriously!
