We have to pay rent for our house and the shop both, and manage other expenses as well. During the lockdown, I kept the shop closed for 45 days and stayed home, busy with various house chores. It was a nice change, but because we don’t have any financial support, it was quite tough. Before the lockdown, I was earning around Rs 10,000-12,000 daily which has now reduced to Rs 5,000-4,000 per day. I cannot be too sure that I'll even earn that much on some days. There are a few speculations that the coconut prices will increase and if that happens my sales will reduce by half or more. Lots of people don’t have money on them either. For me to get income they need to get income, it is a cycle. Everyone is facing financial crisis and everyone has problems. People come to my store because I've been here for so long, they know me, my work ethic, and the way I communicate. To make ends meet, I'm currently also involved in an online business on an app and it is working fine for me as of now. I don’t know how long it will last nor do I want to predict and expect too much. I am just hopeful and happy that I have something to look forward to each day.”  Reporter: @aishwaryaanairr Photograper: @lajjju #lockdown #covid_19 #manipal #manipaldiaries #photoseries #themanipaljournal
⁣•Manipal and COVID-19•⠀ ⠀ A photo serie ⁣•Manipal and COVID-19•⠀ ⠀ A photo series, Manipal and COVID-19 explores how the pandemic, consequent lockdowns and aftermath have affected the people of Manipal.⠀ ⠀ Shiva Puthran, an employee at Bharat Cinemas in Canara Mall spoke to The Manipal Journal:⠀ ⠀ “Yes, the lockdown had a huge impact on my life. Along with many of my fellow employees I was worried and scared. I am a common man after all. However, I am grateful. The company took care of us and not once did I feel like I had to face this temporary unemployment alone.⠀ Although our salary did reduce by 50 percent and there were more than a few days of struggle and distress, I had people to rely on. When the lockdown was lifted, I was ready to get back into my old routine. It was not the same but the familiar smell of popcorn erased any doubts. ⠀ With social distancing and the new rules imposed by the government, we can seat a comparatively smaller audience. With no new releases, we have been playing movies such as Jumanji 2 which were released a few months back. Including the absence of new content and the fear of the pandemic, business has been slower. But again none of us were expecting it to be exactly like before. ⠀ We know these things take time and we don’t take our comfortable situations for granted. Knowing that I could have endured worse, I pray for those who did experience the worst. At the end of the day I’m just grateful to have a roof over my head and to work at a place where my concerns are heard and understood.”⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Reporter- @_smarnita_⠀ Photograper- @arjunarun2k ⠀ ⠀ #manipal #covid_19 #canaramallmanipal #lockdown #themanipaljournal ⠀
October 17 is observed as the International Day fo October 17 is observed as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty every year. In 2020, human poverty stands at a precarious place— 736 million people living in extreme poverty are at a higher risk of being exposed to the coronavirus with limited access to hand washing, healthcare and nutritious food. The setback caused due to the pandemic calls for extraordinary solidarity and collective action to get back on the trajectory to make social and environmental justice, and equity for all.

⁣On October 2, US President Donald Trump announc ⁣On October 2, US President Donald Trump announced that the First Lady, Melania Trump and he had tested positive for COVID-19, casting a spotlight on the pandemic which has killed over 213,000 people in the country. Following his announcement, multiple White House officials who had been in contact with the president also tested positive for the virus, including Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and former presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway. The White House cluster now has over two dozen coronavirus cases, extending beyond Trump's inner circle as well.⠀ ⠀ Although the president reported mild symptoms, he was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center for three days and was discharged on October 5. He made an appearance for the cameras on the White House balcony where he was seen taking off his mask. On the same day, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new guidance which stated that COVID-19 can spread through virus lingering in the air, acknowledging concerns about airborne transmission of SARS-CoV2 virus. After his return to the administrative wing, he pushed for the resumption of election campaigning work and wanted to attend the next presidential debate in Ohio in-person, which has been formally called off by the organisers. A statement by the president's physician on Saturday said that he is no longer "a transmission risk to others", but the White House had no immediate comment on whether it meant that Trump had actually tested negative for the coronavirus.⠀ ⠀ The US administration has received widespread criticism over the president’s continued downplaying of the global pandemic which has put the country in distress, and his lax approach to mask-wearing and social distancing. His handling of the crisis hit a record low net approval while he tweeted, “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life."⠀ ⠀ Cartoon by: @manisha_sunil_ and @banana_with_an_i #covid_19 #trump2020 #usaelection #trumpcovid19 #donaldtrump #cdcguidelines #themanipaljournal
World Mental Health Day, a programme of the World World Mental Health Day, a programme of the World Federation for Mental Health (WFHM) is observed on October 10 every year to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world, erase social stigma and mobilise efforts in support of mental health. The year, 2020 has brought in many challenges and unprecedented changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Normal lives have been disrupted and the far-reaching consequences beyond the spread of the virus have affected people's morale. However, the effects of the pandemic were amplified for people living with mental health issues. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the need for mental health and psychosocial support will increase substantially in the coming months and years. Improvement in existing institutions through investment in mental health programmes at the national and international levels, has become the need of the hour. Thus, this year's theme set by the WFHM is 'Mental Health for All. Greater Investment - Greater Access'. Recently, The Manipal Journal got in touch with the Student Support Centre, a psychotherapy facility for students in Manipal, to understand how institutions were working towards providing a safe space in the face of new challenges posed by the pandemic.

⁣In light of the gruesome case of sexual violenc ⁣In light of the gruesome case of sexual violence against a 19-year-old Dalit woman in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, the All India Progressive Women's Association protested against this brutal incident and 'criminal misconduct of the police', at Mysore Circle, Bengaluru yesterday. The aim of the peaceful protest was to condemn caste atrocities and crimes against women, particularly those belonging to underprivileged castes.⠀ ⠀ Speaking to The Manipal Journal, a protester said, “Women in this country are not at all safe and it’s even tougher for Dalit and minority women. We not only want the assaulters to be punished but also the police and the state for covering it up. Governments change but caste atrocities never stop. The upper caste has always been ignorant and has never acknowledged casteism. The movement against caste will work only if privileges are checked and everyone joins in.”⠀ ⠀ The rising number of sexual violence cases in Uttar Pradesh and the practice of stringent, regressive casteism has sparked outrage and debates across the country about women safety and the still pervasive existence of casteism in India.⠀ ⠀ Credits: @abhishek.manoharan15 ⠀ ⠀ #hathrasrapecase #gangrape #bangaloreprotests #justiceformanisha #endrapeculture #stopcasteism
