Is the Seven-Day Sentence the worst thing that's happened to me?
Far from it. I've had to deal with stuff much worse than this. However, this week will always be

Day 6:
This day is considered to be the best, most important day of the year for India by many. I think of it as the best Indian festival, and I look forward to it every year. Everyone outside was cheering, laughing, singing patriotic songs and having a great time while one boy sat sulking inside his apartment. Here’s a shot of irony for you.
Yes, I would be free, only after I survived the next two days. And believe me when I say that I was not ready for these days. Anyway, see you on the other side!
Long story short, I was stuck in the prison that was my house listening to orders from my parents on the day independence was celebrated. I was taken back to the 1900’s when India was still under British rule. How was I supposed to free myself? India gained independence from the British because everyone collectively was doing what they could to overthrow the intruders. In my case, I was a solitary soul against many anti-roller coaster GP. Any fruits of my rebellion would not see the light of day, so I held my rage in and tried to smile. I was a volcano ready to erupt, a bomb ready to detonate. To make matters worse, my father came up to me and took away my computer for the rest of the day. Believe me, I had to go through a lot of pleading just to get the recording I played a couple of minutes back. Holding my rage in was now harder than ever. I did my best to enjoy Independence day, trying not to show any signs of anger. I celebrated the festival, which helped bring some of my joy back, but it was not enough to dissolve my anger. That was going to stay. I studied, played board games and did some origami. That’s about all one could do during lockdown without access to electronic devices. I was quite glad no one took these things away from me. However, if you thought this day was ironic due to it being India’s independence day, the day after it was much worse.

Day 7:

The aftermath:
I woke up to a sunny morning, beaming. It was almost as if the rain knew my emotional schedule. Before school started, I opened discord and chatted with Coaster Cloud, a great channel by the way, telling him about what happened this week. He was aghast and in disbelief when he learned what happened. Coaster Cloud, if you’re watching this video, I hope you now understand why everything happened the way it did. School started, and my friends there just didn’t seem to care about what happened. At least the ones I talked to. However, someone who did care was my counselor, who was glad I made it through the week nearly unscathed, and told me I held up a lot better than she expected me to. More importantly, a 12th grader asked me if I was willing to lend her my schwarzkopf shuttle loop replica I made for my physics project to her for her project. I was on cloud nine! Of course I agreed. It’s very rare for a 12th grader to reach out to a junior for help. I uploaded every video I wanted to, started this channel, came back in touch with roller coasters and most importantly, shared all my thoughts and feelings about the loneliest week of my life in these three videos, and believe me, a huge weight has been lifted over my shoulder. So now more than ever, thank you so much for making it all the way here. So, this is what I learned this week: NEVER EVER ARGUE WITH MY PARENTS ELSE I WILL LOSE ROLLER COASTERS FOR A MONTH. Just kidding. I learned that I should socialize more, find new hobbies and not stay fixated on roller coasters. But you know what, screw that. Roller coasters will always be my top priority, and no force in the world can make me say otherwise. And if my parents accuse me of being too obsessed with roller coasters again, at least I’ll have you guys on my side, hopefully. This week was like a ride on X2. There was no knowing where I would go next or what would be thrown at me and not to mention, it was very rough. Unlike X2 however, it was not enjoyable, and I sincerely hope none of you watching have to go through this at any point in your life.
