,Here is ,how I experienced Covid Lockdown .
The more I remember about corona virus ,It was winter ,when I heard about the term Corona Virus as It destructed the Chinese city of Wuhan .The fear inside me raised when it turned out that it spreads via breath,cough ,sneeze or any kind of close contact. But ,somehow we neglected it. Again wave of fear inside us flew when Corona virus reached Iran . On Feb 22 ,2020 ,First Corona Virus case reported in Karachi ,Pakistan . Initially I neglected it . But with passage of time we started caring ourselves. We abandoned going outside , Practicing SOP's . The Scale of fear was such that we started stocking things . On March 13,2020 when Government Announced complete lock down country wide. At that times , I was waiting anxiously for the Pakistan day Parade as I am an Air Force enthusiast . I somehow managed to get the passes to Parade very difficultly. All my plans ruined when Government cancelled the Pakistan day parade right 10 days prior to 23rd March . With grace of Allah Almighty many positive things happened in my life. I have two siblings one elder brother and one younger sister .As all of us were at home , We played chess and cards .It boosted our bonding ,especially with my Brother . Alhumdullilah ,we did not have any financial crises ,as many of the people had at that time .In all of these as I was uncertain about exams ,I did not study well which proved unfavorable and fatal for myself . I became directionless . I was in grade 12 , and our Colleges closed ,At that time we were very happy as we got rid of daily classes . obviously we were unaware of the consequences of it . Our Exams postponed and ultimately cancelled .The aftermath of it ,turned out in a way that we became lazy as ,we were promoted without examination .It has left serious impact in my Life . I did not prepare well for the Entry tests . My direction was not well defined . I wanted to join Air force but due to Covid .I could not appear that certain exam.
.Somehow by fortune or by misfortune ,Allah knows it better , I got admission in University in desired discipline (Aerospace Engineering ) .Here journey of depression in my life started . When I took admission , I was passionate because I was doing in which I had interest ,obviously I was fascinated by aeroplanes . But by will of Allah ,it did not went according to my plans . Our first semester initiated with Online sessions . I was well aware of online studies .According to me , It is burden of lectures and eventually it gives very less understandings . .Things are very difficult to be comprehended . The online studies did not make me feel at home despite I was at home .It was the first semester ,foundation of our degree . But unfortunately I did not grasped the concepts . Obviously It was not the case of every person . Eventually I started getting low grades in quizzes , mid terms .My motivation and morale went down instead of getting high . I was in depression . I also worked hard but in wrong direction because I was unaware of University education system . In First semester , I did not score well . But in second semester I started with zeal and zest . For nick of time ,Covid conditions became normal and we were to study on campus but again lock down was implemented and the remote learning resumed .
To make long story short I would say that I had mixtures of both bad and Good experiences in Covid Lock down . I suffered from Covid 19 physically directly and mentally indirectly . Now I have good hopes . 2020 had left many changes in my life . Nothing is permanent in this world .Behind every bad and good happening in life, there is a good reason as per planning of Allah Almighty .
