Quarantine Life

-

I am there in the home

Looking out the window

Towards my garden;

That’s where I want to go.


But nobody’s out there

Under the warmth of the Sun.

And sitting in the home

Doesn’t seem like fun.


What is popular nowadays?

Not going in the dusk;

Nor to visit a beach;

It is to wear a fashionable mask. 


I don’t know when to go out

I can’t return the book he gave.

Only a slogan I know now:

“Stay home; Stay safe.”

    You have perfectly expressed what all of us going through right now. The longing for the world outside is something that each one of us is feeling and you have captured it brilliantly in a very simple but poignant manner.

Rainbow

Violet, violet, an elegantly rocket, Like a warm and layered blanket. Indigo, indigo, a lightly blow, Of peace and calm and serene and snow. Blue, blue, so peacefully true, Like the sky, like the sea, like God’s own shoe. Green, green, a shade of no spleen, With the world looking so curious and keen. Orange, orange, a soft, smooth challenge, Surprisingly even without a single change. Yellow, yellow, a buttery fellow, A light and calm and softening mellow. Red, red, a fiercely fiery bed, A note of inspiration at its head. Thus is formed a rainbow, A heavenly arc, a ray of hope, A sweet swan, an audacity flow, A lovingly bow that beautifully glows.

The Lost Scouts - Part 5

‘Is someone there!’ said a voice, who probably heard the gate opening. ‘Who’re you?’ asked Mike. ‘I am Pally and here’s my brother Kenton. We escaped the forests some time ago.’ she said as she and a boy came into sight. ‘I think I heard a voice...’ said a man. Then two more people came into eyesight; the shabby guy who had kidnapped John and the accomplice. ‘Gotta get ready for a fight!’ muttered John. ‘Look, look, who is here... the Kangaroo Scouts and Pally and Kenton!’ said one of the guys. ‘Daddy!’ shouted Pally and she hugged the accomplice. ‘So... you’re mixed up with those kidnappers’ muttered Mike. ‘What kidnappers! Dad and Henry aren’t kidnappers!’ shouted Kenton, enraged. ‘They help people in and out of the woods!’ ‘So that’s the cock-and-bull story you fed little Pally?’ asked Emily under her breath. ‘Wait, wait. We aren’t kidnappers. Don’t take up on our appearances either; I know we look evil, but we just sneaked off from Harris and Louis, The Evil T...

The variety of festivals, Where the diversity is wide It’s my country, India My nation, my pride.   The Hundreds of cultures And thousands of forts With historic monuments And many old King’s courts   Have you eaten “Fuchkas”? Or the South-Indian Dosa? Jalebi is just flawless As well as the spotless Samosa.   Have you gone to The Taj Mahal? Or maybe the Red Fort?
