Being a student in these past two years has had its fair share of challenges, from a new medium of schooling, to a lack of social interaction. For most students, their lives have been limited to their rooms as most of their work can be done from there itself. Stepping outside into the open air has been far from possible, and physical activity as a whole has come to a screeching halt.

“It’s disappointing for us,” says Rabindra Rai, an 18-year-old. “We’re virtually entrapped in our own rooms, with no contact to the outside world. Of course, we understand that it is not the right time to step out, but that doesn’t mean we like this new way of living. We would love it if we could go out and play or even just be able to meet our friends, but that’s not possible at this point in time.”
