Lockdown

There is a virus in the air

Everything is stalled, as I have heard

No airplane and no train

There is a lockdown in the whole world.

Cinemas and the restaurants are shut down

And its a very long list

I have to see sick children

As I am a child specialist.

Whenever any child comes to me

”How are you” with a smile I ask

I don’t know if they smile back

As I can’t see through the mask.

I have a friend in the USA

Asked” what’s the scene in cities there”

He said ”everyone is anxious

And there is fear everywhere “.

I have many friends in Agra

And talk to them every other day

”the disease may come from any patient,

We are worried “ its what they say.

In Patiala where I am settled now

There are empty roads like anywhere

I nurtured a hobby of clicking nature

On Whatsapp I daily share.

In the morning I wake up early

And see the rising sun

In the evening at sunset

See lots of birds and have fun.

Before lockdown, I got less time

Now do a lot of talking with my wife

I don’t think this all will end

We have to get used to this life.
