While a majority of people under lockdown may be running out of ideas on how to spend time these days, poet and artiste Arvinder Chamak has been busier than ever. A painter, performer and poet, Chamak has been organising virtual poetry and literary sessions every day with global audience in attendance.

When he is not pursuing his passion, Chamak enjoys quality time with his family and playing cards. “For the first time in my life, I have learnt playing cards. My father, wife and daughter spend the entire evening enjoying rounds of card games with me. I feel the lockdown phase must be considered as a blessing in disguise because it has given us an opportunity to spend time with our loved ones. It also has given us opportunity to explore and expand the potential of virtual world. Online poetry sessions have made me realise how well people connect with their creative side,” he added.

Chamak will soon host an online poetry session with prominent poets of Pakistan and host a session with noted actors Shabana Azmi and Deepti Naval.
