Below is how the internet reacted:

We're humans, not machines. It's high time India stopped glorifying toxic productivity. Not everyone can 'dedicate' themselves in such unprecedented situations. It's important we recognised we need to be physically as well as mentally healthy to be 'successful' in the real sense.

Are you serious! Stop glorifying this nonsense. Health comes first. Life is a marathon. Being a CA, I have seen it all. It's not worth this.

I don't know, why a good educated people always dont see the substance rather than the form. It is the matter of dedication of a student in theirs pandemics for facing exam.But people understand differently. Is it the matter of EGO or something..
