Welcome 2021 and Reflecting Back On 2020  For all of us, 2020 will be an unforgettable year. This year, COVID happened. The virus originated in Wuhan and, (somehow) made its way to the whole world. We all wore masks to survive. I, for one, stayed home for at least six months. Today is the 3rd of January, 2021 and I am very happy because of the new year. This is because, as it is rightly quoted, " The New Year stands before us, like a chapter waiting to be written." and also because it brings new hope to the world. People are hoping that COVID will finally end in 2021 so that it will be a better year. With all the good news surrounding 2021, including the new vaccines, it really brings joy and hope to the world. In self isolation, all we could do was stay at our homes and hope that COVID ends. We felt like we had no purpose. But then when people started working from home, they felt that they were doing something, not just sitting at home and hoping for the best. They made a di

The best 7 things to do when bored (or quarantined)

Image
Things to do when bored (or quarantined) 1.Have a family game night  Choose your favourite game each week and convince your family play it till it ends(without cheating,obviously). If you are too bored playing the same game repeatedly,make up some new rules on your own and play the game again. This will result in you spending some quality time with your family and everyone in the family will enjoy for a while. 2.Do a treasure hunt Give your family a list of items which they have to find.After they have found the first items,hand them a clue which will lead to another clue or the next item.Make it a little harder by giving clues which are hard to decipher and placing the clues so they are hard to find.The number of clues can also be increased so the game becomes longer. 3.Start reading a really long,but interesting book Books are our best friends and when do we get time to read really long books like this one by Leo Tolstoy.This is just one book, but there are hundre

All of you must be in your homes at this moment.It is obvious you all must be scared of the global pandemic. It is a human nature to be scared. It all started from the Hubei province of China,but now it has spread to many countries on this planet. Currently, Europe is the epicentre of the global pandemic novel coronavirus,with Italy having the most cases and deaths in the EU.China too was the epicentre for quite a time. The whole world is scared of these two nations. Now let us look at some detailed figures to understand. The people infected in Italy are about 60,000.The population is about 6 crores.And if you calculate only 0.001% of the nation's population are infected. Map of Asia with China highlighted While in China,there is better news.With 80,000 people infected and the total population being 144 crores, only about 0.000056% of the country's population is infected.

Chandigarh reports 1st coronavirus case; patient is quarantined  Patient returned from UK , is now infected from the coronavirus COVID-19 case reported in Chandigarh Total count in India,170 Virus spread to more than 150 countries A young Chandigarh woman was infected with the coronavirus.It is the first case in Chandigarh. It takes the total tally of infected people in India to 170. The woman returned from London on Sunday and showed symptoms on Monday. She is now quarantined in the GMCH-32. This evening,our PM Narendra Modi addressed the country about the coronavirus and the public curfew to be imposed on 22 March. In my thoughts curfews like this should be imposed every day to fight and contain this virus. This virus is a result of the global warming.Now,that this virus is a global pandemic,Global Warming is decreasing because there is about 70% less air traffic and everyone is too scared to use their cars. After this virus,everyone will sit back and rel

Stay Safe,Don't Panic

                                                      COVID-19 The novel coronavirus is a highly contagious disease.But it can be contained and cured.We should avoid traveling to places where there is huge crowd.We can and will get through this disease if we unite and follow all the precautions to stay away from this virus.It is rightly said "Prevention is better than cure".Even if we know, it can be cured,we should still do everything to stay safe.Indians never are too cautious in case of these diseases.They think that they cannot be infected with these diseases.But remaining cautious will help us save our lives. When a coronavirus-infected person sneezes or coughs, the droplets land on a surface.If a person touches that surface and then touches his face the germs enter the body and that person is also a coronavirus patient. All public places in most of India are closed because of this.Many famous stars and important people like Tom Hanks and The First Lady o

NBA Update

76ers vs Lakers Well, I will not be able to tell you about every NBA match happening out there, but I will be able to tell you about most matches played by the top 2 teams of the league. The superstar duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James had another full night of doing things that blow people's minds. Against an undermanned but lively Sixers lineup, Los Angeles needed most of that magic to win again. Davis scored 18 of his 37 points during a phenomenal second-quarter surge, and the team from the western conference held off injury-depleted Philadelphia 120-107 on Tuesday night. James had 22 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds for the Lakers, who moved to 47-13 with their ninth win in 10 games. His 40-footer was a stylish flourish on an entertaining all-around game from the Lakers' two All-Stars, and it came at the end of a 44-10 run in roughly 10 minutes spanning halftime. James and Davis had to carry them past the Sixers, who played without injured starters 

NBA- A FAMOUS LEAGUE

THE NBA(National Basketball Association) While the US have produced some of the greatest basketball players such as Michael Jordan, Shaquille O Neal,  The greatest basketball league nowadays is featuring players who are from all around the world. In the previous season Toronto Raptors became the first non-American team to win the prestigious NBA trophy The league has attracted players from countries far away like Luka Doncic from Slovenia and Deandre Ayton from the Bahamas Luka DONCIC playing against San Antonio Spurs I think Indian children should also be encouraged to play all kinds of sports.Basket ball uses a round and orange ball and a hoop on a backboard to score points.
