A teenager's memories of the lock-down : Part 03

Welcome back everyone! Hope you all are safe. Well, the monotony of life has already reached its zenith, and I don't expect the devil to come down soon. Well, so today I am going to write about my memories of the  'Unlock' stage and I assure you, there will be something for you to laugh about somewhere in this post. Don't miss it. You know, during the first phase of the lock-down, I was seriously worrying about the numbers. As the days passed by, I just became more and more ignorant about the numbers. What was the use? Nobody would give me a Nobel Prize for remembering numbers--all that was happening was that tension was finding its way out within me. Later, during the 'Unlock' phase, I simply stopped worrying about the numbers.  Let's not discuss those today. I have already written about them in my previous two posts. Let's discuss something new. Now, here's one thought that came to my mind yesterday. What did Rousseau say? He said, "Man is bo...

A teenager's memories of the lock-down : Part 02

Welcome back everyone! Hope you all are at home and are keeping well. You know, nowadays if we fall ill or something like that, the whole family starts fretting. So, it is absolutely necessary to keep ourselves fit both physically and mentally. Actually, it's nothing new right? The doctors and other experts have always told this, ever since the lock-down started. But, how many of us have been following those rules and taking those precautionary measures, that too accurately? I will talk about this today, though of course, I will also write about my mid lock-down memories in this post itself, as I had promised you earlier. Well, so Lock-Down 2.0 began, as far as I can remember, on the 15th of April. The virus had already started raging in many parts of the world : Italy, China, the USA, Spain, etc. India's figures were then still a ' molehill' , when placed beside those ' Himalayan' figures. My God! The stories, circulating then on WhatsApp, were simply horrib...

A teenager's memories of the lock-down : Part 01

Hello everyone, I am back again! In the previous post I had just given you all an introduction to my blog 'Unfurling Thoughts'. So, today what shall I write about? Yeah, got the idea! Today, let me write about my lock-down memories.  So, today, I am going to write about my early lock-down memories.  If everything had been normal, I would have been at school for a few mornings already by then. My tuitions  would have started as usual. During the evenings, I would have been out as usual, playing with my friends. But alas! The curse of nature upon mankind this year prevented me from doing most of the things that I normally do during my session break, and you know, it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to cope with the loneliness. Well, if you would have just talked to me, you would have said, "Hey! Is this guy really in the present or still in the past? Does he know that the COVID-19 pandemic has really hit the world , or is he still thinking that it is still in Chi...
