ILLUSTRATION

-


This Lock-down due to covid-19 has changed my routine completely. I have online classes 4 days a week, attend webinars, zoom meetings, work on my college assignments and also handle my interest areas at the same time. 

My online sessions start at 8:30 am in the morning so I sit along with my cup of coffee and my Phone and Earplugs are mandatory anyways. 
Sometimes my classes extend the timings and I have to re plan all my work just to balance my personal and professional life. And sometimes it so happens that my classes are not scheduled for a particular day, I have the whole day to finish one assignment and within a blink of eye the whole day goes away and not a single assignment is completed- it is just so annoying. 

So as shown in the illustration, I have started Multitasking as I have to make documents and reports, 3d modelling, webinars, take care of my health, spend time with my family and friends, get some peace of mind, pray, etc. On the left hand side, many words are listed, they are all mixed feelings of this new experience.

Apart all of this nuisance, I wonder do I thank god for this unexpected vacation but not exactly a vacation because there are a lot of things I learnt in this span of time or do I blame him for all the Multitasking I have to keep doing in order to balance everything! 
Just think- if we did not have to face this situation, someone would be in office, students like me would be  preparing for their juries and final presentations, freshers would be giving interviews and waiting for their results, 10th and 12th graders would be praying for their good results, and all the other people would be doing their respective work.

On a positive note: we all got a chance to explore things long lost within us and gain new skills, be it learning new things online or offline. 
So I would rather thank god for all the good happened to me and my family.

P.S: This Illustration is made for a contest organized by my college sponsored by Wacom India, where Learning in New Reality was to be explained.

Riverdale International Residential School

July 2015 was the first time I visited Riverdale for my junior college admission. I still remember it very clearly; it was an on-the-spot decision, and I didn't even search for it on Google. The right turn my cab took to enter the school—what I saw for the next few minutes was out of my imagination. A school on a massive hill. Like, seriously, is that possible? Yes, it is!  As I got out of the cab, I visited the founder's office for my interview, which was more like a discussion. I was still very nervous and wondered what this school looked like after what I saw. The first thing after the school building, I saw the dining hall, a huge hall with chairs and tables on the left, the food counter on the right, and a beautiful view of the Mulshi River surrounded by greenery out of the window. All the hill station feels! Riverdale had a dormitory system. Unity Dorm was my dorm, where junior college girls stayed. I had three roommates. And we had a single bed with a personal cupboard ...

The Friendship Blueprint by Karim Padaniya is a book for young children to understand their true self and how to build true and lasting bonds with peers and close ones.  This book is written in a very simple and clear tone with interesting stories and examples. There are self reflective questions for the readers to enjoy the stories and to connect with their own self. Divided into 13chapters, each chapter addresses different topics which are important in the teenage years. A lot of advice on building good habits, managing your time with technology, handling peer pressure and all about your inner self and your passions is also talked in this book by the author. I really enjoyed reading this book and love the self reflection part where spending time with yourself comes into the frame. You can buy this book from:  https://amzn.eu/d/b1RqRoC

COVID-19

As the world is going through the major pandemic covid-19, many places are in lockdown mode! School, colleges, offices are also shut. It is a kind of curfew where people are supposed to stay at homes all the time and not come out. But have you noticed something? This has promoted family time in all the houses. Personally speaking, every night amidst the lockdown in city, my family is having a great time most importantly spending time together-playing different games everyday, listening to stories of the times when riots broke out in Mumbai and yes of course praying together for the betterment of the world. I even heard how people stayed wherever they were when the riots broke out in 1992. People even lost hope of their loved ones coming back home or meeting them again. But it's always overwhelming when you see them when there is no hope, it's a great feeling of satisfaction. And if we see what is happening today, people are not ready to stay home when they are getting...
