After over two months, restrictions are being eased in parts of the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure of the gyms was one of the highlights of the lockdown.

Baba Sehgal had a trademark response to this guideline of ‘Unlock 1’. The rapper tweeted some relatable verses like always, translating words like hair, cheek, money and year to corresponding rhyming words in Hindi. The Thanda Thanda Pani artist concluded with another rhyming meaning as he wrote, ‘Gym close hai toh walk kar lo bcoz Walk is chaal’ (If gyms are closed, go take a walk).
