I have put all my efforts to pen down my thoughts and feelings during this pandemic situation. And I hope that whatever the issues I have talked about here such as a temporal depression or restlessness due to this eventless life are the common problems that almost everyone of us have faced and are still facing. Though I mostly talked about my personal ways of combatting with the situation, but I think that most of the people can relate to these things for everyone of us who have been surviving through these hard times,all have our own ways of escaping from the grim realities and are finding peace in some other stuffs which we once thought insignificant to our lives .In the past months we all have felt broken and shattered but have learnt to bring all those broken piece together once again.

an
early

attached
in
the
field
of
literature.I
had
a
dream
of

and
this
is
my

The
silence
and
the
somber
tone
that
darkness
has
within
it
make
us
find
a
new
light.
For
the
past
one
year
we
all
have
been
going
through
darkness
where
we
are
constantly
haunted
by
the
fear
of
death
and
losing
our
beloved
ones
due
to
the
severe
outbreak
of
the
pandemic.
And
it
is
at
this
time
when
I
planned
of
writing
the
book
to
express
that
how
I
have
been
constantly
in
a
search
of
a
new
light
within
darkness
to
combat
with
this
situation.
The
pandemic
has
definitely
impacted
every
one
of
us
and
has
given
us
quite
a
tough
time
but
there
is
always
something
which
can
save
us
from
getting
devoured
by
severe
boredom
and
despair.
Just
we
need
to
find
them
out
.Well
we
created
a
silly
joke
to
describe
the
condition
of
the
students
like
us
at
this
situation
that
is
“untimely
retirement.”But
in
spite
of
so
much
negativity
around,
the
pandemic
has
made
us
realize
once
again
in
a
new
light
“to
live
and
remain
happy
just
with
ourselves
and
our
own
company.”
Those
happy
moments
of
togetherness
with
our
families
and
dearest
ones,
those
unmasked
laughter,
those
crazy
photo
sessions
which
we
never
even
imagined
of
giving
the
slightest
importance,
have
suddenly
taken
the
role
as
“medicine
of
our
pain”.
This
sudden
blow
of
pandemic
has
made
us
accept
and
realize
one
truth
that
every
moment
is
valuable
because
they
gift
you
with
some
memories.
And
memories
are
more
precious
than
time,
because
as
time
it
changes
everything
rapidly
but
memories
remain
unchanged
and
unfaded.
To
me
Literature
has
played
a
very
important
role
in
helping
me
forget
all
these
worldly
troubles
and
agitations
around.
The
literature
that
came
my
way
during
these
times
are
mostly
very
thought-provoking
in
nature
and
acted
like
therapeutic
drugs.
Before
also
I
had
been
through
difficult
situations
where
literature
provided
me
solace,
but
this
pandemic
has
taught
me
once
again
the
profound
influence
of
literature
during
hard
times.
Being
a
student
of
English,
I
have
always
learnt
from
my
professors
the
power
of
literature
during
the
toughest
times.
That’s
why
there
are
several
ground-breaking
literary
pieces
which
have
been
created
during
some
of
the
most
toughest
and
tumultuous
times
in
the
history
of
the
world.
As
said
by
Oscar
Wilde
“Literature
always
anticipates
life.
It
does
not
copy
it,
but
moulds
it
to
its
purpose.”
While
reading
multiple
literary
works
during
these
confined
days,
I
gradually
started
realizing
the
underlying
meaning
of
the
power
of
literature.
Another
thing
with
which
I
have
developed
a
strong
bond
with
is
nature.
My
love
for
nature
and
natural
creatures
developed
first
when
I
was
a
little
kid
like
all
other
kids,
I
also
used
to
listen
to
those
fairy
tales
and
fables
from
my
mother
and
from
that
time,
being
a
highly
imaginative
kid,
I
used
to
dream
about
those
trees
and
birds
which
could
able
to
talk
and
gossip
with
each
other
just
like
we
human
beings
do.
Though
I
have
always
remained
preoccupied
with
the
urban
backgrounds,
but
my
flat
where
I
have
been
staying
since
childhood
has
a
huge
area
beyond
our
balcony
covered
absolutely
with
greens.
This
vast
area
of
greeneries
plays
a
huge
influence
behind
my
deep
love
and
awareness
for
nature.
Also
it’s
this
place
which
has
invoked
my
intense
love
for
natural
creatures
as
they
seem
to
be
my
only
mates
when
I
stay
in
my
house.
The
chirpings
of
the
birds
and
the
cooing
of
doves
act
like
my
alarm
in
the
morning.
But
in
these
pandemic
days
when
there
is
no
companion,
nature
is
fully
accompanying
me
in
bringing
a
breath
of
freshness
in
my
mind
and
soul.
In
most
of
the
evenings,
a
couple
of
doves
and
jungle
babblers
come
and
sit
on
the
flower
tubs
placed
on
the
window
of
my
room.
I
laugh
sometimes
while
seeing
the
relentless
foolish
quarrelling
of
the
jungle
babblers
among
themselves
just
on
the
point
that
who
is
going
to
sit
on
which
flower
tubs.
These
little
mundane
things
which
often
remained
unnoticed
to
my
eyes
suddenly
carved
out
an
important
place
in
my
mind
giving
me
the
ultimate
happiness
in
the
bleakest
hours
also.
Nature
by
herself
is
a
Mother,
who
has
the
power
to
calm
and
comfort
our
wretched
souls
like
all
our
mothers
do
to
their
children.
Nature
is
meant
to
be
loved
not
to
be
understood
always.
Livings
simply
on
the
happy
memories
are
indeed
hard
but
that’s
where
my
passion
for
writing
this
book
developed.
It’s
going
to
be
a
book
that
will
say
the
story
of
pandemic
verses
us,
our
struggle,
our
mental
strength
to
accept
all
the
odds
and
still
standing
strong
to
face
the
upcoming
tempests.
