DEAR DIARY
They’re revelling in the extra time for art, music, dance. They’re worried about family finances, virtual classes and the exams they’re missing. And they miss the world. Take a look...
They’re worried; they miss the world. Yet, the growing hasn’t stopped. And the world is still full of wonder. Yet, just how much of 2020 they’ve really been able to bear. School, that half day of chatter, learning, unlearning and finding your place among your peers, has shrunk to a tinny-voiced screen. Playground friendships have unravelled. There are no scraped knees this year. No falling off bicycles, dusting yourself off and getting back on. No everyday adventures in the big bad world. No escape from the grown-ups.
It’s no wonder, then, that when we asked kids across India to tell us what they liked and what they missed most during this pandemic, the responses were as wide-ranging and they were heartbreaking.
Of course they’re missing normalcy: “I miss the rush and sound of horns of Hyderabad” says one child. Another in Delhi misses Tuesday spring rolls at the school canteen.
The child of a toddy tapper in Kerala is concerned about the family’s finances. And one child in rural West Bengal is glad for afternoons because it means quiet time to paint.
India’s children are missing school, teachers, a separated parent, a friend. But most of all, they’re missing the freedom to walk a few steps further, stay out half an hour longer, test newfound strengths and new autonomies upon the world beyond their home.
They’ve lost one summer already—no cousins, no eating raw mangoes straight from the tree. Now, a very different festive season is here. As one child put it: “My biggest worry is, when will the disease go away and when will I be able to go to school again?”
