What is the Indian version of poetry for most of Indian television viewers?'Rosesh Sarabhai's Kavitas'
Right from shrandaanjali he wrote for Popat kaka to his description of Momma's purse, his poems would make you make cringe a little, but mostly make you laugh a lot.
Known for its quirky and innovative posts, Mumbai police have now taken Rosesh Sarabhai's help to make people understand the importance of staying indoors. With each passing day, the number of confirmed cases continues to soar in India and so staying inside the home & maintaining social distance are the only few options left to break the chain.
The official Twitter handle of Mumbai Police has shared yet another Bollywood/television reference to create awareness about the coronavirus pandemic. After using references from "Stree" and "Main Hoon Na", now they have taken help from Rosesh Sarabhai from the TV show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai.
In their tweet, Mumbai Police has posted different poems incomplete Rosesh Sarabhai-style to share the various points to keep in mind while under lockdown.
They shared the meme with the caption, "Shaving ke liye cream se better hai foam, shaving ke liye cream se better hai foam. During the lockdown, please stay at home. #LockdownLessons #TakingOnCorona."

Pav-bhaji me jyada hona chahiye butter,
Monisha bhabhi sharpener ko bolti hai pencil cutter,@MumbaiPolice ke naam se criminals kaanpate hai thar-thar,
Desh me Corona ka faila hai dar-dar,
Khud ki safety ke liye raho apne ghar-par
- Roshesh (Momma's boy) #TakingOnCorona
