Everything was uncertain.   Flash forward to a few months later, we still didn’t know what to do. Everything was still uncertain, and the country –now the whole world– was still shut down. We were hanging on to the memories from a few months ago, eager to make new ones as soon as the world returns to normal.   One day I was going through the memory archive of my brain when I came across a memory: the robotics competition in February 2020.

I’m a 17-year-old student from Sri Lanka, currently in 12th grade and graduating in 2023.

I will try my best to update as often as possible, presumably once or twice a month. I hope you’ll enjoy this blog. Happy ...
