Pavika Malhotra, a student of second grade from Mumbai’s Arya Vidya Mandir, penned down her thoughts on COVID-19. Read what she has to say?

I am Pavika Malhotra, I am in 2nd grade, I would like to share my experience about Covid 19 with all of you. Corona virus (Covid 19) has come from Wuhan city of China, it is a deadly virus affecting the world. It was March 16th when my teacher told me that today is my last day in 1st standard.

We are closing School before regular schedule due to some funny named virus. I was wondering what is virus in first place but she explained the whole class very nicely. It is some kind of bad disease which is killing people. That night my dad came from office with the same news of Corona. He told me not to worry about this and that we just need to take care about few things, like washing hands properly, no going out to play and wearing a mask.

No going down to play gave me goose bumps. I asked my dad why we can’t go down, he told me because of Corona.

I wondered for how long would I not get to play in the building with my friends.

I was told that people are dying all across the world and that India is in lockdown, which means everyone would stay at home.

I am taking this as an opportunity to learn new things like cutting vegetables with scissors, folding clothes and helping my mom. I am spending lots of time with my dad in playing, studying and watching movies on Disney Hotstar.

I love to read books. My favourite author is Julia Donaldson..My favourite book is Room on the Broom. But now I am missing my friends and hope this will get over soon. Stay at home safely and enjoy your family time.

Cheers Pavika Malhotra
