Lockdown - A Different Perspective 

The Tea leaf pluckers of Assam,

The Bhelpuri vendors in Chennai,

The Rickshaw drivers in Bhopal  ,

And the Cooks in Amchi  Mumbai ,

The Boat owner by the Hoogly river,

The Dhaba owner by the Highway,

The House maids in Bangalore central  ,

And the Street vendors of India Gateway .

The Nurses of Kolkata Aaya centre ,

The Beggars on the streets of  Agra ,

 The Pan shop owners in Lucknow ,

 And the Temple worshippers of Mathura

The Hawker selling toys in Kochi ,

The Hotel boy in Hyderabad ,

The fruit sellers of Delhi market

And the cycle shops in Moradabad.

The Prasad seller infront of Puri Temple

The Female Masseuse in Kerala,

The Fish vendors of Goa market ,

And the  flower sellers of Sabarimala.

The Bus conductors in Mysore ,

The Cab drivers in Jaipur ,

The tour guides of Jaisalmer.

 And the tea sellers of Kharagpur.

They are all under lockdown now ,

And their jobs are all gone.

With hungry children and no savings left

They have absolutely nothing to hold-on .
