MY RECENT TRAIN JOURNEY
As I entered the train, saw no heads turn🚆,
Passengers have been busy since the morn🌅.
Everyone is in their own virtual zone🗔,
Peeping into their latest mobile phone📱.
No one to talk to, hear no snores💤,
As they picked up their mobiles before doing the chores🖁.
No longer they hear the engine blow horn📯,
Wearing headphones and listening to "The Music Of Ornn"🎧.
No laughs, no gags😂,
Only mindless scrolling and hashtags#.
Wide windows are now useless🪟,
I urge you to spend time on screen less📵.
The silence in the coach feels awkward🤐,
Watching things get out of hand is absolutely absurd.
Vendors working hard, shouting for their sales🛒,
But who cares, everyone buys online these days🛍.
Train rides never again seem to be fun🚄,
Just two reels more and then we are done...
