“Oh! handle it properly, it was just about to fall on my head”, bizarrely said Akhil. {Down came an old dusty box in a splash}. Well, Amulya I don’t think this is our ball. Ya, it isn’t, then what it is? It seems to be very old! Both looked at the box like it was an alien. Let’s take it to mamma and ask her about this weird thing. Yes, let’s go.
Hey mamma, see what we have found. ‘Oh! it is very dusty, from where do you found it?’ with a ghoulish expression said the mom. We found it in the storeroom above an almirah when our ball accidentally entered there. Wow! that was good luck. But why mom? asked Amulya curiously. So because you found such an interesting thing accidentally. Mamma, now I am getting curious, let’s open it, please! Ok, One, Two, Three, here we go. {Mom opened the box}. Wow! it is amazing, mom. Yes, mom but what it is? I have never seen such a thing before! I think this is a ‘ Diary ‘ said mom confusingly . A diary? Mamma, what is a diary? Amulya, I have read in my history class that there was a time when peoples used to write the summary of the day in a um…..n..no..um….yes a notebook, which was called a “Diary”. Right mama ?? Yes, you are correct Akhil. so what are we waiting for? let’s see what is written on it! Ok. Hey! see here the pages are laminated. (Mom’s voice was full of excitement ) . Yes mama and see only two-three pages are filled. Yes and see how beautiful handwriting it is!! (Amulya has never seen or heard about a notebook or pages) Please read aloud what is written on it, Amulya as eyes were shining in a very curious way. Ok, Amulya lets sit there, then I will read it. Mom started. The writer has not written his/her name here but see he/she has written the name of the diary. Oh, how funny the writer is !! Mamma, what is the name of this diary? It is – ‘ Naughtipie cozy !! How weird name it is, Akhil can not control his laughter anymore. Ok, let me read it seems interesting…

Day – Wednesday
Naughtipie Cozy!
No words to describe my fatigue. My eyes are just about to pop out from my skull !! My vertebrates are going to get apart from my spine! They are paining too much. Why? That’s because today I kept my nose to grindstone throughout the day. I kept working the whole day in front of the lappy ( laptop ) and phonny (mobile phone). I was going to hit the ceiling when the internet networks were completely gone for about two-three hours, as if it’s corona report came positive !! I thought that I will use this time to have rest, but, that was not my luck. I remembered that I have to edit some articles for our school magazine. It felt like I have climbed Mount Everest on a single foot when I completed the editing. Finally, the report came negative, I mean networks were back and I send those edited articles to other editors. Then I completed my homework and every cell of my body was saying -‘ hey! bird-headed exotic person, please let us have rest, we are working non-stop from early morning and are about lose all our energy ‘. But I said- ” no you can’t because I can’t. I have to do a lot more work, a lot more eye, neck, shoulder, back suffering “.
Oh ! Why does this Coronavirus came our way! I want to go back to school because there we didn’t have to work on these bizarre gadgets! And also many of my colleagues do not have proper facilities through which they can attend the class. O ‘ mother nature please make everything normal. Please…..
Cozy, see one eye has fallen their and finger has broken apart….. I am unable to write anything more. Good night, sweet dreams…
Oh! My goodness, mamma. They used to ‘go’ to school. Akhil was astonished. Mamma, I have heard this for the first time that some did not want to use ‘phone’!! They write in a notebook, go to school, did not want to use phones, how weird they were !!! Amulya was shocked… Mom, from today I will also write a diary on my tab…….
