2020- A Virtual Year

By Garima Dixit

A new starting was near,

No one imagined 2020 would be a virtual year,

All were just blessings.

Blessings for great fun,

But according to myth,

All these were trapped by Sun.

People protested the citizenship act,

For 101 days Shaheen Bagh was trapped.

Exams were getting over next noon,

But who knows problems were coming soon.

In March we met our new friend,

Indians also saw now scared of that new trend,

The trend of Corona,

Who now had his own persona.

First locked Sunday was Janta Curfew,

Days past and it was lockdown,

That day no one knew when life will again continue,

Only in case of emergencies,

We were allowed to go out of town.

The country was divided into three zones,

For earning people started working from home,

Schools were then online,

Fear was more and less was a crime.

After seeing this Earth was shocked,

The environment was happy as we were locked.

Diyas was lit before festivals of light,

And thalis were beaten as crakers.

This was to encourage the people who fight,

With not only virus but also inner fright.

After several years locusts were seen,

They shook their head and attacked green.

Many were then jobless,

Some died who were hopeless.

Workers started migrating,

Without knowing for them Corona was waiting.

In June COVID-19 was at its peak,

How to cure this disease was still mystique.

Few Indian Soldiers died at the line of actual control,

Tribute was paid to their souls.

Boycott Chinese was in trend,

To resolve this war,

Many peaceful letters to China were sent.

A case of ram mandir was also resolved,

For a happy ending,

In the opening ceremony, both Hindu and Muslims were involved.

This year Pranab Mukherjee died,

He was India's pride.

Also, many celeb's died,

But the one which got fame was SSR's suicide.

Unlock of locked India,

Was in many phase,

It was time to fight with Corona,

And defeat its target by doing a good chase.

Modi Ji wanted India to be self-reliant,

And a nation of peace with no violence.

Mahi and Suresh Raina retired, 

And many were there who they inspired.

We called up the people,

WHom we called once in a blue moon,

This Corona taught us technology is a boon,

Finally in end,

We heard the good news,

Of vaccine coming soon.

But how 2020 could end without giving tension,

Now for eating our brain,

It's the entry of the COVID strain.

So this year ending forget all your fear,

And again wish your near ones,

A happy new year !!
