Vishnupriya Pillai

Me, Myself, and the Pandemic Vishnupriya Pillai

This is a book written by a 10-year-old spontaneous little girl. The pandemic took a heavy toll on adults, teenagers, kids, and it didn't leave anyone behind. Staying away from school, skipping birthday celebrations, are losses for a kid. She was told that the greatest act of love during pandemics is to stay away from relatives, neighbours and friends. When the first announcement of online school came out, like every student out there, she was delighted! as she had something to preoccupy her hand

and mind during the pandemic. As time went on, her crown of excitement turned into a frown of sorrow... She realized the best time of her life was when she was in school (except the studying part obviously). Whispers throughout the hall during the

break, snickers which turned into smiles that lit up the classroom, all those reminiscences mesmerized her. Perplexed and saddened by the changes in her life she started jotting down all the best memories in school and thus this book was born.

This book portrays the real-life characters that she interacted with. A journey through the mind of a 10-year-old and

her perspective of the fellow beings...
