                                                                on studies for around 2 hours. After

                                                                which  we  spend  some  time  on
                                                                indoor games like snakes and ladder,
                                                                scrabble,  monopoly,  etc.  After  we

                                                                spend  time  on  indoor  games  hot

               unprecedented  and  difficult  times             every  day.  Just  that  it  should  not
               due  to  COVID-19.  Because  of  the             become  a  habit,  we  avoid  taking  a
               lockdown        announced       by     the       nap in the afternoon.

               Government, we are also not able to              After lunch, we  spend  time  reading
               go out of our homes.                             books and occasionally watch some

                                                                kid's movies. Once the grandmother
               Given we are forced to stay indoors,
               I wanted to describe how my brother              wakes  up  from  her  afternoon  nap,
               and  I  are  spending  the  day.  Ever           she     will     engage       us     with

               8 0'clock. After waking up we brush

               our  teeth  and  have  our  milk  before
               taking a good shower in cold water.


               Given  the  hot  climate,  this  is  very
               refreshing.  After  bath  Aarav  and  I
               do our morning prayers followed by

               sloka  class.  After  that,  we  have  a
               very good breakfast, which is mostly
               traditional.
