Photo of the Month

As the skies narrate another story of climate change, post-corona life (are we there yet?) has not been the same. Despite the peace and calmness in the air, chaos does not remain unheard of. Th e fear of the known unknown has handicapped the life of many, including the children. Th eir blossoming minds, unfortunately, are missing out on a major part of childhood. With schools shut, friends at a distance, and entertainment facilities closed, the creativity of fragile minds is hampered, and the longing to socialize is inevitable. Amidst the pandemic, a carefree expat, four-year-old Mohammad Azlan, rides piggyback on his father so as to not miss out on the greens and blues of Chosun University, the alma mater of his Pakistani parents.
