Lockdown 2020 surely got us locked, but not down. Not only have we explored the limits of our creativity, but have also
discovered the power of self-reliance. Let’s face it students, staying at home has emancipated us from the shackles
of dependence. From folding our own laundry to cleaning our own utensils, while juggling with the mountain of school
work, we have definitely come a long way and discovered how self-reliant we can be. Some of us have also discovered
extremely fulfilling hobbies such as gardening, cooking or baking. Taking ideas from your own experiences and using

wow! uh've written it beautifully!
Explanation:
Charles Darwin once said, “The savage admires not a steam engine, but a piece of coloured glass, is lost in astonishment at the artificer. Our faculties are more fitted to recognize the wonderful structure of a beetle than the universe.” The corona lockdown has actually reactivated many of such faculties which had either been underused or lying unused in some corner of our brain.
From the time any of us grew up, we were only told to make it big, be a scientist, be a doctor, be a successful business man and the list goes on. It was only during initial childhood as a kid, we were allowed to just be ourselves and that is when we were viewing that morsel of rice lying on the floor as our universe, made ourselves a joke and laughed when others laughed at us.
We rolled on the floor, floated paper boats and slid down the slope in the open during rains. We never knew which colour was called what but we dipped our fingers, cheeks, actually the whole body in all the possible colours. We never realised what the difference was between wearing and not wearing clothes and we didn’t realize what it meant to lose something. We would keep something somewhere and didn’t know what to say when we were asked about it. It was about playing piano on a computer key board and thumping drums on all the possible utensils at home.
But once school started and we entered college and work life, all this innocence withered away somewhere into oblivion
