HORIZON, 2020-21

the beauty of

shuffling

There would have not been one who would have not

endured this difficult and agonizing situation,” THE

SHUFFLING”. No! not the shuffling of a deck of cards.

The shuffling of students! Even if not for everyone,

for some people like me this one was an unbearable

one.It takes quite some time to develop friendships.

By the time we get to understand each other and be

friends, shuffling comes to play and separates us.

Even though we get to meet our new classmates

each time, it is very difficult to part with our old

friends.

This became worse when we moved from 8th to 9th

standard. We got three years to build up a good

friendship during 6th, 7th and 8th standards. But as

soon as we moved to 9th, we were shuffled and

each of our friends were in different sections. We

were with a batch with whom we have not even

spoken before. Little by little we started to mingle

with each other. By then 9th standard was over.

Corona entered India. Lockdown was announced. All

our classes became online.
