Over the past month and a half, Lucknowites have been revelling in a clean air and green atmosphere. This is perhaps the only good thing to come out as a result of the ongoing nationwide lockdown. A few days back, we took a deep dive into comparing the AQI last year to this year, in May.
<p>The impact of natural causes and manmade vices that have led to a constant deterioration of nature and its elements, has also been the reason of the soaring temperatures during summers and other weather changes. A quick comparison of weather patterns from 2018 and 2019 compared to this year will give us a good look at what is going on in the environment. </p><h2>The Lockdown Impact</h2><p>It's been more than 40 days since the people have been staying inside, that means less pollution, less encroachment of nature. The impact of this little change is huge as we can clearly see the drop in AQI in Lucknow and the whole country, the clear skies and showers of rain that relieve us from the heat and the overall pleasant weather. </p><h2>In 2018, Lucknow felt harsh repercussions of global warming </h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">

</p><p>While the threat of global warming was looming around since before 2015, 2017 and 2018 was when its effects were drastically noticeable. In 2018, we began experiencing the advent of hotter summers and less severe winters- a phenomenon that was recognized almost all over the world. <br></p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

</p><p>2018 was the sixth warmest year ever since 1901 for India. Since 2018, things have only gone south and there is little we can do about it.

School days are way more special than we could have imagined them to be during the course. We grow, move to colleges, then to offices and so on, but we never forget the days spent in our lovely school. Moreover we miss every element of our school irrespective of being a first or a last bencher. To some it's like a religion, they take pride in every element of their school. One such group of schools which are eye catchy, witty, sassy, close to perfection, unignorable; who have a class of their own – the 'CONVENTEES'.
To bring back the memories and outburst nostalgia, here are a few things that every 'conventee' would relate to.

Dhauladhar range in Himachal Pradesh is now visible to folks in Jalandhar; pollution lowest in 30 years
April 05, 2020
While humans continue to sit indoors during the lockdown period, nature continues to restore itself.

April 01, 2020
Amidst the incessant dark and doomed news pieces being circulated related to COVID-19 deaths and active cases around the world, including India, it is also important to focus on the positive side of the stories too. In a pleasant turn of events, an elderly Kerala couple have recovered from COVID-19. They had contracted this deadly virus from their children and grandson, who had returned from Italy and the rest of the family too, have now recovered from this disease.

</p><p>The couple, aged 93 and 88, had tested positive for the virus in Kerala. They were diabetic, suffered from hypertension and had other old-age related diseases on their medical records. The Health Minister stated, "The elderly couple were literally brought back to life from death".<br></p><p>Thomas had earlier developed a severe cough, complained of chest pain and urinary infection. He was also diagnosed as vulnerable to severe heart issues and was put on a ventilator as well. His wife, Mariyamma, had also contracted a major urinary and bacterial infection which had further aggravated her condition. Health Minister KK Shailaja, had instructed the authorities to do everything required to ensure their full recovery and the couple were admitted to Kottayam Medical College.</p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

March 30, 2020
In light of recent events that have occurred almost all over India, Spicejet, the privately run airline, has offered to lend a helping hand to all migrant workers who are stuck in Delhi and Mumbai.

While an eminent gloom that has spread across the country the ray of hope is the fact that the doctors and medical staff of our country have been able to turn bad cases into miracles.
