Malappuram: A picture of a fifth-semester BA English student went viral on social media, wherein she is seen standing on a tilted roof of her two-storey house, attending online classes. Namitha Narayanan had no other option in order to get good internet connectivity, so the young girl climbed on to the roof.

“We tried all places in my house, including verandas and roofs. And finally, I got fairly good signal strength on top of our two-storey house,” she was quoted as saying by The Hindu.
