“If you’re reading this…Congratulations, you’re alive.
If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.”
― Chad Sugg
I saw this school in Tabo on our last travel to Spiti and Kinnar Valley. With the current situation, I am sure even this school is closed. And what I love to see is a big bunch of happy children in this school and having fun around these trees. That to me would be the proof of things back to normal. I am hopeful that day will be here soon. And I know you are all with me. Aren’t you?
Take care, you all! Please stay indoors, maintain social distance and keep yourself busy. Don’t let the situation worry you. This too shall pass.

I echo your sentiments. We’re all hoping, if enough countries do this all over the world, we’ll be able to avert more tragedies and get back to normal. Given we are also in lockdown, I’m posting about a tree next to my front door. https://aseparatelife.wordpress.com/2020/03/26/a-tree-visitor/

I liked you quote Parul, after watching and listening to so many deaths, especially in Italy and Iran – its very depressing to see whats happening around us and in that context; we are privileged to be alive and still blessed for the government that has taken steps to protect citizens from calling for a curfew and extending it to keep every one alive and safe. These are challenging times and we need to be united and pray for the country and the world to fight the COVID 19. I would love to see the school gates open and children get back to learning. My daughter is home too; as colleges and universities are also closed. we are all at home and finding ways to be occupied and doing all those things we did not have time to do at home.
