From My Lockdown Diary

When the calendar turned to 25th March 2020,

indicating the arrival of the PAN-India lockdown,
shutting the people inside their homes,
comfort zone for some,
while hardship source for others.

Roads being deserted, public places closed,
none wandering around,
nor disturbing the peace that follows.
A noisy silence prevails across the country,
with automobiles being hidden in garages.

People peeping out of their windows,
but none daring to step out for work,
eyes are witnessing the freedom of animals,
ears are hearing the noisy waves of the ocean,

the rustling leaves and melodious chirruping.

A time for families to rejoice,
strengthening bonds and relationships,
loneliness of oldies fading away,
uniting the families once again,

but isolating some who’re struck miles away.

A salute to those warriors,
whose selfless works are indeed invaluable,
nowhere in the previous years,
has this ever been happened.
This situation can be enhanced only by

STAYING HOME and STAYING SAFE.
