Masks covering your pretty smile on your pretty face,
The first thing one notices now are your deep eyes,
You can adjust with handwaves instead of handshakes,
But can you adjust when you hear someone's cries?

You hesitate before going to your favourite restaurant,
And staying away from street food seems to be wise,
The environment chippers and the world looks happy,
'coz no one can now hear your faint sighs.

Webinars replacing seminars , zoom being the new conference hall,
Mails still being the same , but pyjamas replacing pants and ties,
Work from home becoming the new comfort zone,
A tons of tabs on the laptop representing the new pile of files.

When someone asks you,
Tell them this is the new normal.
When someone asks you,
Tell them! This. Is. The new normal.
