*Because of "Corona virus" they say* At first I thought it was something small, but the next day they shut down the mall. They also closed the public hall, We even weren't allowed to play football. My brother was bored playing with his mobile, I got bored kicking the ball on the wall. We had to wash our hands a million times a day, Even Holi we could not play. Why?? Because of "Corona virus" they say. Then I realised it was very strong, We stayed in our homes really long. In summer we could not eat ice-cream, Going to the pool was but a dream. The sun was also blazing away, It was so hot it felt like May. My parents got work from home, Throughout the house, they would roam. The vacations got longer, but not of much use; I was so irritated, I thought I'd blow a fuse. Video games, the only thing I could play; Why?? Because of "Corona virus" they say.
