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)

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 hundreds of books of different genres to read.So,just pick a genre and start reading books in that genre and then move on to a different genre. I'll suggest some really good and famous books to you to buy here:

1.Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone   

 Read these for free with Audible

2.13 Reasons Why                     

3.Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Read these for free with Audible^^

4.Pull a prank on your family members

Pull a really funny prank on your family members so that all of you have a  good time laughing. But be ready for a prank being pulled on you.

5.Binge watch a Netflix series 



There is a lot of cool stuff at Netflix to see.If you are not in for watching a long series, just pick a cool movie and watch that.If you are not a Netflix fan, there are a lot of alternatives like Amazon Prime Video. But beware of spectacles. Don't watch TV too much.

6. Play a challenge with your family like speaking English for 24 hours challenge and so on. Whoever speaks a language other than English, will be given a punishment decided by the other players.

7.Help your mother do the household chores at home because all of us are free and we can use this time to help our mothers by cleaning our room and washing our own utensils. 



But do not forget to wash your hands after every 30 minutes and try not to touch your face.

              How to learn coding? Coding, also called programming is a very interesting hobby which anyone can learn if he has the zeal to learn it. There are various courses out there but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will have to learn online. If you haven't ever heard of coding or have heard of it but don't know about it, coding is the process of conveying messages to the computer to follow instructions we give. Coding comprises of different types of languages that have different syntax (rules), difficulty, and uses. Some of the languages you may have heard of are Python, JavaScript and C. When I was young, I always wondered where mobile applications came from. Then, I learnt last year that they were made with coding. But I did not know the meaning of the word coding. A month or two ago, I came across a programming course on https://www.edx.org   by Harvard. It required no prior programming experience, so I thought that there was no harm in trying it out. I started the
