Life lessons learned during lockdown
Harshita Sharma, Class IX, BCM School, Dugri, Ludhiana
As we all know that the whole world is suffering due to a virus which originated in China and has now become a worldwide disaster. By the grace of God and the decisions taken by the Indian government, there are still lesser number of cases in India as compared to other countries. The decision of lockdown is the best way to keep ourselves safe from this pandemic disease.
This lockdown is the best period of time which can be utilised by a person for many useful things. I have made this lockdown productive for me and my family. This lockdown made me realise my potential of doing things in a better way. First of all, I was surprised to see myself as a cook in the kitchen. Before lockdown, I thought I was not a good cook but now I have become a chef as I make delicacies every day.
Secondly, I improved my communication skills and read many books online. After a month or two, I was getting bored so I started doing some creative work and made a family photo frame which was much appreciated by my parents. Like me, many students also made good use of this lockdown as it brought family time with it. We spent time with our family and were happy to have this golden period which will not come again where the whole family sits together without any tension of work.
The biggest advantage of this lockdown is that our environment is getting cleaner. We can see around birds that were nowhere to be seen before this lockdown. We can now breathe in a pollution-free air. This lockdown has brought a new virtual world to the students as they are now studying through online classes which is a unique experience.
However, this lockdown also brought sadness to those who don't have money at their disposal. Some are stuck far away from their families and can't be with them. But now the government of India has taken steps to provide everyone meals during this lockdown. They have now started transportation facilities for those who want to return to their homes. Now, scientists around the world are researching on vaccine of coronavirus. I hope that this difficult time end soon. But this period of lockdown is a memory that will never be forgotten.
Video Games and Gen Next
Parth Dutta, Class IX, Ryan International School, Chandigarh
Technological advancement has reached its zenith. There is no looking back now. Computer is evolving into its fifth generation- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. Virtual reality is no different from our reality and for the purpose of entertainment a digital world is built where one can turn all their dreams, ideas and imagination into a reality. Video games are one such medium. They are extremely popular among younger generation and especially boys.
Every new game is better than the previous one in terms of fascinating characters, weapons, costumes, ambience, etc. They open an altogether different gateway of opportunities for people and are quite refreshing. There is uncountable number of games of every kind, the most famous among them being Fortnite, PUBG, Freefire, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, etc.
Video games take us into an imaginary world of ideas manifested into reality. Contrary to the real world, we can fulfil our wishes to fight a gangster, kill a dragon, live in future, join army or battle clans. It turns fantasy into reality. Some people play it purely for entertainment whereas some others are professional gamers. One can make money from gaming, making it a wonderful career option. Other than this, video gaming also improves hand-eye coordination, decision making, relieves emotional pain, and enhances sociability and teamwork and the ability to solve problems.
However, video gaming has some negative effects too. It may lead to addiction. Gamers are exposed to electromagnetic radiation. They tend to become impatient, suffer from attention deficit disorder and even sleep deprivation. Other issues faced by frequent gamers include uncontrolled aggression and violence.
Video games are fun if a few things are kept in mind. A reasonable time limit must be fixed after discussing with the elders in the family and it should be adhered to strictly. Exercising, playing sports, physical activities such as dancing, studying or sleeping hold more importance than virtual gaming. Seek professional help if you are already addicted to it. Video games should be the last resort to be given by parents as a reward to children for any achievement as we all know that too much of anything is bad.
