And I Passed My Boards Without Even appearing For It (Pre-order; 5 Sep 2021 release; Free shipping)

And I Passed My Boards Without Even Appearing For It revolves around the lively experiences of a matriculate during the pandemic. It offers a vivid account of her encounters with life in confinement. With the embargo on routine life, it is an honest attempt to feature the highs, lows, humorous episodes of usual school days and treasured moments of the ‘old normal’ which could only be remain etched in our memory lane because of the forced new life, triggered by the pandemic.

It reflects both the light and dark moments of the pandemic and the way a young mind perceives it. It backs the heroes of the crisis, talks of human connections and even pokes fun at certain life moments lived as students. It calls for the dilemma faced by school-going children and the way their minds react to this unwarranted change brought about in their world, which has been made drastically different by the sudden turn of events. They no longer go to school. They are unable to meet friends. They find known people getting in a splash of the virus. Everywhere their eyes stop to behold a sight, they see a world which is full of misery. Life has changed considerably and sufferings are still at large with no clear silver linings yet. But despite such turmoil at our behest, it highlights the resilience and hope we firmly held onto, with a fighting spirit.

An ideal read for every soul who bore the brunt of the pandemic and ached for life to get back to normal. It is a must for those who wish to beam with the delight of meeting friends and running in the corridors of school again and also for the parents, teachers and the family members who stand by, constantly trying to make this journey a lot easier by understanding young minds and perceiving the world through their eyes. 

So be prepared to connect, smile, laugh and maybe cry.
