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

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

By J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second book in the magical world of Harry Potter is just fantastic. This book cannot be kept down once you've started reading it. This book is not something you will be bored with. Especially in this COVID-19 crisis, you can read this book, just buy the ebook from Amazon here. The book is about a boy named Harry Potter. The boy is at first, stopped from going to Hogwarts, the school for witches and wizards, by a house elf. He goes to Hogwarts anyway and finds an evil plot to be executed. Read the book to find out what happens next.

" You don't have to be a wizard or a kid to appreciate the spell cast by Harry Potter " - USA Today
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, embarks on his second journey in the marvelous world created by J.K Rowling. A fact that even I didn't believe was the fact that these marvelous books were rejected by two or three publishers. This whole series of books are the best books I have ever read in my whole life. I borrowed this book from my local library and at that time, that was the longest book I had ever read. I did not think that I would be able to finish the book within the time limit but it was such a brilliant book that I finished it a week before the time limit. I suggest every person in the whole world to read this series if they haven't read it yet. If you don't believe me, look at the following lines...
" A charming, imaginative, magical confection of a novel " - Boston Globe
" Harry is destined for greatness." - The New York Times

How to learn coding?

              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
