“In the Quiet Echoes of the Train”

Beneath an evening sky, in the heart of Balasore,A clock struck seven, our hearts forever tore.Three trains entwined, whispers silenced, dreams foregone,288 lives extinguished, yet a thousand sorrows born.

Transitioning to Online Education

COVID-19 is a pandemic that changed the world in many ways. Especially in education.

What started as a small outbreak in China in December 2019 ended up into a full-fledged epidemic in India and the world by March. By March 11 the school year had to be cut short, and early onset summer break was declared.
