Carrot, Parrot, Carat

2013-05-10T12:43:00.000+05:30

CBI, says Supreme Court, is a caged parrot, Out they get a big stick, in a juicy carrot; ‘Hearts’ are quietly changed here, Friends and foes to save and sear; And as minions purloin carrot, and the fair queen, carat, To the throne gifted him, clutches a beakless parrot.

Night Watchman Manmohan Singh

2013-03-12T11:40:00.000+05:30

Night watchman is on the pitch, No bat hit the balls away; No balls with the bowlers, Batters in the dressing room play.

We Still Have The Coal!

2012-09-07T11:55:00.002+05:30

Once again this government has dug a deep hole, Pretending still that the black on face is just a tiny mole; It’s still in the earth, Chides Chidu with mirth; Billions mined so what? We still have the coal!

Anna and Team Anna

2012-08-03T18:47:00.000+05:30

A five and seventy man Went hungry could have died, For clever, hungry men Who showed us hope, lied. They said it was a war Against political corruption, Turned out was a show To get political traction. Power is a bitch, we knew, That bites deep and hard; But Team Anna fooled us all: A veil of tough Kevlar. Naked they all stand now, Promises tall and fake; Nehru's tryst, JP seen, There's no

Anna And Netas

2012-08-02T11:06:00.001+05:30

Anna on fast again to free India of corruption, Netas unperturbed by his unending eruption; We are supreme, they hoot, Question not our right to loot, Voters are so splintered, you can’t cause any disruption.

Cartoons, Parliamentarians

2012-05-15T15:14:00.000+05:30

Honourable members of Parliament have a problem with cartoons, But none, surprise, with colleagues who shame even baboons; This is no education They thunder! for the future of our nation, And prove again that in Gucci-khadi, they are real cartoons!

Abhishek Quake

2012-04-24T18:25:00.000+05:30

Grinning, in his High Court chamber, undressed Singhvi Abhishek, In trust he thrust, but a secret camera caught his bare ass shake; Fake! he raged, it's a private matter; Press he gagged, couldn't internet chatter. When people rage, no boss or judge can save you from the quake.

Sin Is In

2012-04-22T21:03:00.003+05:30

Soliciting liars,Sellers and buyers,Bare-ass lawyers.They care a hang,Call us a gangAnd India gang bang.Many a scam,They don’t give a damn,We are just lamb.Media they gag,Opponents they bag,The flag they shag.Drop by drop,Their pitcher of paapIs a filling up.But Sin is in,They won’t give in:We gotta break in.

Mr. Big Sugar

2012-04-13T08:58:00.002+05:30

Mister Big Sugar is minister of agriculture, He swoops down on big bucks like an old vulture, Exports are a roaring, Prices are a soaring No sweat, plucking to the bone is 'Pawar' culture.

Loot-o-cracy

2012-03-22T10:01:00.001+05:30

We elect them to govern, They select among themselves To rob India in turn. We believe it is democracy, They laugh we are naive, For them it spells ‘loot-o-cracy’.

Sibal, Sonia and Internet.

2011-12-06T15:53:00.000+05:30

He never gives up, this son of Nero; In 2G he tried and scored a big zero, Akash was a goli, a plain eyewash, Now the net he is out to white wash. Scam-ridden Congress needs a face lift, With honest voices she's terribly miffed; Media brought in line with stick and cash, It is you and me Sonia wants to lash.

An Immature Response - A Tragedy for Mumbai

2011-07-31T19:21:00.000+05:30

Recently the Prime Minister reshuffled his cabinet and there were varied responses. One of them was Gurudas Kamat, who, incidentally, represents our area in the Lok Sabha. He chose to resign because he was shifted to the Water and Sanitation Ministry. This "intelligent" MP felt that he has been side-lined and should have been given a more "weighty" ministry. In this day and age our politicians

The Temple Treasure

2011-07-05T22:15:00.000+05:30

Sri Padmanabha temple at Thiruvananthapuram has suddenly shot into the public eye and national limelight. So id it surprising that politicians, media, westernised Indians, rationalists and many other ill-wishers are all jostling for space. The treasure by seems enormous, ancient and priceless. One can imagine some extra-ordinary items that represent the wealth of the royalty of those times and a

Manmohan, the flying duck

2011-06-30T10:43:00.005+05:30

Manmohan says he is Minister Prime and not a lame duck: Would I have survived if so much blame I couldn’t well duck? Reddy, media or Kalmadi, They are all in Sonia’s rave party; With BJP numb and Rahul dumb, wingless I am flying on luck!

Corrupt Politicians

2011-06-26T20:04:00.000+05:30

Black clouds of corrupt politicians Seem to have swallowed India’s sun,The skies are a weeping at this turn,But for them this river of tar is fun.

Sibal Society

2011-06-19T18:24:00.004+05:30

We have a cabinet minister who thinks he's a big hero,All because after every theft he avers the loss is zero,Be it a bill or a dacoity,His answer is Sibal, not civil, society,Thieving leaders will save India, he says, not an honest tyro.

Smarter bin Laden

2011-05-07T19:44:00.003+05:30

Had Smarter bin Laden hit South or North Block,He would still have been a hero roaming free in Pak or POK,A few tiny squeals,Not a thought of ‘Seals’,We would still have been saying we have no choice but to talk.

Waht the !!!!1

2011-03-29T11:59:00.000+05:30

Missiles, guns and robotic bomb-disposal units will be deployed in and around Mohali ahead of the diplomacy-laced India-Pak cricket encounter. Thus screams TOI and other main stream media. What are our leaders expecting? When the match ends tomorrow, with no unpleasant incidents (let us all pray!), either India or Pakistan will win. If Pakistan wins, will they arrest LeT founder Hafiz

A CT-Scan 1000 Times more dangerous than a day in Fukushima

2011-03-21T21:50:00.006+05:30

The earthquake and resultant Tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, have almost crippled the Fukushima Nuclear power plant. Radiation leaks from its reactors have not only brought terrible memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but have also raised fresh questions in India about the wisdom of using nuclear energy to generate power. Even though the situation appears to getting under control, fears

Budget - An annual farce

2011-02-28T22:23:00.000+05:30

We have an annual ritual of presenting the annual budget of the Government of India on 28th February every year. Apart from presenting the accounts of the GOI, the budget has gained a level of importance far beyond what it deserves. It has become the arbiter of our destinies and a dispenser of largesse to that group which danced and grovelled the best. It carries the ever-alive threat of

For a change....applause...

2011-02-05T09:36:00.003+05:30

P Manivannan, an IAS officer in Karnataka is allowing the public to watch what he is doing in his office by hooking up the CCTV in his chamber to his official website. Manivannan, the MD of the Bengaluru Electric Supply Company, BESCOM, has installed two IP enabled cameras in his office, and the public can see whatever happens there.In this scam age, with his own Karnataka CM involved in one,

Curbs on Freedom?

2011-01-28T20:23:00.005+05:30

Expressing one's opinion about the effects of Government policy seems to be a risky affair for writers in India! Anish Trivedi, a columnist for Mid-day was convicted by the special Prevention of Atrocities Act court on Thursday for making casteist comments in an editorial article written for the Mumbai tabloid in 2006. The author has been handed over a sentence of six month's jail term and Rs.

Justice on Demand?

2011-01-26T19:11:00.003+05:30

With the courts burdened with cases, the aam aadmi seems to have ran out of patience due to delays and adjournments. "Tareekh pe Tareekh" is the common experience for those who need to seek justice in Indian Courts.Not surprisingly, this 60-something Anil Tikotekar sent a cheque for Rs. 20000/- seeking one hour of the court's time. Not a big sum of money considering the difficulties he faced

The lady has the drive - The Hindu news

2011-01-20T12:20:00.004+05:30

I am aware that such a title could be greeted with a sarcastic "So what's the big deal? Aren't you women always vying for gender equality and such?"But news of this kind always inspires and delights me.

Laundromat comes to India!

2011-01-19T10:13:00.002+05:30

The Laundromat arrives in India! This pay and use coin operated laundry service for public use is a concept popular in UK has made its debut in New Delhi’s Satya Niketan, which has 7000 rented flats – many of them foreigners. With consumers having to spend close to about an hour at the Laundromat, one wonders whether this idea would make it big time in our country? Mumbaikars spend that much
