Looking at the students from their masks albeit it was a pleasure for me. To talk to my heart’s content ! What more can I ask for? Then with a few of my life experiences I forged ahead to strengthen the bond between us.
Never would anyone think of a term starting in Jan! But Covid made it possible. The friends have been so close for months, never before. The very good & the sad incidents going hand in hand as never before. Actually all the extremes have been experienced.
The few students in the laboratory feels like most have forgotten to come . So many absent ? It was my first thought & then I realised that the batches have been sub-divided into small groups!
Due to the online teaching the teaching part is almost over, Done! But the anticipation remains. Are the exams really online ? Is that possible for so many students? All the students spread over the state ?? And the students over the country ?
The regions where the power supply is not continuous, how will they manage? The real test for the students is to attempt & for the teachers to evaluate. Overcoming all the obstacles will be the real test!
Presently the online & offline lectures are being conducted religiously but no exams. So how much of it is really being helpful is the question. I think the sincere efforts can be felt by the students. The reason why I have more faith in them than the teachers!
After the ‘Panchet in pune’, Plague & now the Pandemic each generation had their own troubles. But to rise above & beyond is our job now. It should not discourage rather should be just a milestone in our way & for our efforts!
