I We are locked down Nobody is knocking now We are all isolated So some of us are even frustrated Right it is for us To save ourselves and others from the virus Life is at peace With no rush Economically some of us are melting Emotionally saddening Mentally we are stressing and Physically we are all resting It’s a question of life and death Let’s just not sit and guess When is this corona virus going to come to the climax Let us all just sit back and relax And try keeping away ourselves from panic attacks Let us all sit with our loving family members and have some snacks Everything that starts has to come to an end So for few days let us not shake hands And maintain distance while we stand Let us all understand And give our best to let this pandemic come to an end -Ashmi Makhecha Clinical psychologist and counselor

Mere chehre ki hasi ho tum Mere hotho ki wo lali ho tum Fir bhi rehna sath me Kyu Nahi chahte ho tum Mere mann ki har soch ho tum Mere dil ki har dhadkan ho tum Baho me teri aau Toh lagta hai tum hi ho mera sab kuch Tum sath na hone par bhi Khush rehne ki koshish Toh ki bahot Lekin fir bhi tumhari yaad satati rahi bahot
