What to read after First few tiles of the road?

Student life is all about learning through interaction, discussions, and exploration. In India 2020 was no different. However, come March things changed for all. The most pertinent change was for students and schools. With physical attendance, not an option anymore, the race began for finding the best solution for online classes. Most of the schools started with long schedules, only to realize that long screen time started taking a toll on the mental health of students.

Adapting to this new normal, most of the students found new innovative ways of keeping themselves busy. This book ‘First Few Tiles of the Road’ is a result of one such success story of countering boredom, loneliness, and frustration during the lockdown. The author decided to pen down her feelings in the form of poems. She decided to unleash her anger through imaginative characters.

As you read through the poems you will walk through the lanes of 2020 and its effect on a student. The book has all colors of life as seen through the eyes of an eleven-year-old. Much to appreciate is the positivity in her thoughts even when she is locked in her home. Not only did she overcome many odds in her life, but she also motivated her peer group in remaining positive through difficult times.
