Dear Diary, Over the past few months of lockdown, I have
began to like this game".
Younger brother shows the way
Though I do not like sports much, in this
lockdown I have started liking many games.
My sudden fascination for games is thanks
to my younger brother, Vedant. Seriously! I'll
tell you how. At rst I refused to play any
games with him. But now I nd it refreshing
to play with him. It helps me to reduce the
pressure of studies. Hide and seek is fun,
running helps in staying t, while Ludo
soothes the mind and yoga, well yoga is
refreshing and is important to boost
immunity. I have started to enjoy exercising
and I do not feel exhausted by it anymore.  game.
