Of course,the service provided by doctors, health workers, police personnel are unforgettable. The public will remain indebted for their help and services. They are warriors, who, leaving behind their families joined the forefront to fight against the pandemic. In whatever manner we eulogise them, it is insufficient.

Being motivated,getting persuaded and a bit inspired -by staying at home, remaining safe, and learning inevitably without being a dull boy. Our children, the real warriors.
