Online Classes and the End of the World
Hi there. I am here to tell you that life on earth as we know it has changed.
Change is transformation. But every time something transforms, it is either for the best or the worst. There would be those with the middle ground too- people affected with not much harm or not much comfort

Today, I heard about his death while working on a short story for a reading app named Pratilipi. The...
