Dear Minni, 

I have been dying to tell you what happened today. I suppose this is the best day of my life so far. 

I started my day by waking up at 5 am. I rushed to guest room for correcting the answer sheets of model exam after making the black coffee. By 6.30 am I completed my work. Afterwards the busy schedule of my life started. Made dosa and chutney for breakfast. Sambar, beans curry and egg roast for lunch. I ran to bathroom and take a quick bath. By 9.00 am my hus dropped me at school. 

After signing in teacher's attendance register, I went to 10 A class with biology answer sheets. Then I distributed answer sheets to students and I am so happy that all of them got very high marks. As a teacher that was a proud moment. 

I reached back home by 4.30 pm. After having my evening tea I spent my time in garden. After watering the plants I went to bathroom and take a bath.

By 7.00 pm I gave remedial class to backward students those who are preparing for their SSLC examination through Google meet. After an hour session l spent time with my family. Then after having dinner and prayer, I went to sleep.

It was another beautiful day in my life..As usual , I woke up at 5 AM ,had my morning routines that include watching the morning prayer and the news on the television.. Today I had to make the breakfast a little faster as it was Sunday and we all had to go to the church at 8 AM..So, began the day freshly by going to the church. I came back at 10:15 AM..The next thing that had to be done was to make the lunch and till 12 noon I  was busy with that.. At 1:15 PM I had my lunch with my family.. After that we all were busy with arranging our home for a meeting that had to be conducted in our home at 3PM with the neighbours...It began at 3 PM and ended up at 4 PM. We then set back our home to the normal manner..Then I went to my vegetable garden and spent almost one and a half hours over there.. Since I spent there more time , all my evening routines got a bit late to be finished. So , quickly I bathed up my little boy , then I had my bath and by 8 PM everything was set for the dinner. As I had to take rest for a while , I watched the television with my family for a few minutes..Then we had the evening prayer which was followed by the dinner. Before ending up the day ,I watched the news channel for a while as usual..And now , by 10:30 PM I am going to my bed to get rid of all the tiredness of today as well as to begin well a new day...

Thank you Lord for this day.

Dear diary,                                                               

Today I woke up at 5:00 AM in the morning , did all my household chores and went to the hospital. I reached the hospital at 8:00AM sharp and went to the changing room to get changed for my duty. Today I had corona duty , so I had to wear the PPE kit.  Walking through the isolation ward is really hard. Moreover it makes you  really sweaty and uncomfortable. But being a nurse you have to risk your life and your pleasure to help others relieve their pain and sufferings.There was a  patient in the ward who had corona , we tried our best to save him but we couldn't.  The sad  truth of losing someone beloved is devastating. I know the pain his family will be going through but the only thing we could do is pray for his soul. Before leaving the hospital I had to do some  works at my department. After that I left the hospital at 5:00 PM and got home at 6:00 PM in the evening. Being a nurse isn't an easy task , it's really hard but when you see someone's face lit up by the care you gave them that's the best feeling you will ever get. Iam really exhausted by the work at the hospital but Iam happy that I made the right decision  to be a nurse. Every nurse is drawn to nursing because of the desire to care, to serve and help others. Nursing is an art of helping others and making their  lives a better one by giving them all the love and affection one can offer. Iam proud to be a nurse.

A Day In My Life

 I woke up at 4:45 a.m as usual,and got refreshed after having done my daily morning activities. After having my bed coffee, I began to study at 5:00 a.m. I feel that this time is a bit darker than it was,during the months of of January and February. Today was the second day of my model exams. I was a bit nervous as I was having my maths and Chemistry exams today. Even though I was nervous, there was no changes in my habit of falling asleep during my studies. I was feeling dizzy and my mother woke me up during each 15 minutes.

                 By 6 o'clock, I went to get the newspaper and got updated about the latest news. I resumed my studies by 6:30, and I felt refreshed after going through the newspaper. Those were the last hours of preparation for my exams and I was careful not to miss even a single second. I spend an extra 30 minutes for my studies today and was in a rush since I got up from my studies only at 8:30. I was in a hurry and thus asked my brother to help me  iron my uniform meanwhile I had my breakfast and went to take a bath. My mother had prepared my lunch box and water bottle when I returned. I quickly put up my uniform and got ready by 9 o'clock and waited for my friend to arrive. He arrived by 9:05 and we had our usual ride to the school and reached there bye 9:10.

                I had my final preparations along with my friends and entered to the exam hall by 9:30. By noon,we finished our first exam and got out to have lunch. We had promised not to discuss about the exam as it would only increase our anxiety. By 2 o'clock,we got in for our second exam after having small preparations for about 15 minutes. It was easier than the first one and we got out by 4:00.

                We hang out with our friends for a while and took our ride back to home. It was 4:30 when I got back home. I took a bath and put my dresses to wash and had the tea and snacks my mother had prepared. I spent a few minutes on my phone and sat to study by 6:15 and continued upto 8:00. I was not completely concentrated during these hours,as I got up in between, to share about my day with my family members,and lso as I got distracted by my phone.

                By 8 o'clock, all my family members assembled to have our prayers which lasts for half an hour. After that,we had our dinner and spent some time talking about our day. Usually, I go to sleep after all these by 9:30. But,these are my exam days and I had to prepare better for them. Therefore, I continued my studies while my family members went to their beds. I sat alone, for two more hours and put up my efforts to my studies,after which I got up, brushed my teeth,had a small prayer,and went to bed.
