Quo Vadis?

Terrorist did not take the sea route on 26/11 says Pak Navy Chief [Link]

There was a policeman who investigated twentysix/ eleven
Terrorist came by boat, said his eye witness fishermen
He filed his report
And deposed in the Court
'Those who didn't kill, didn't come by Kuber and Al-Hussain'

Report Card on the 14th Lok Sabha : Rampant absenteeism amongst actor MP's (Link)











Soon it will be time to elects new MP's
We certainly dont want any more of these,
Their absence is a fact,
They only put on an act,
These heroes must be brought down to their knees

To stardom and money their time they dedicate
Their time, which could still be spent on debate
Deol,Khanna, Govinda , and Dutt,
None of them should make the cut,
Can the Hemas and Jayas be also shown the gate?

SLUMDOGS CAN’T CHANGE, SAALA

(On the irony of it all)

Slums will be slums, and dogs will continue to bark,
The squalor will be nauseating, and the poverty will be stark,
Of these dregs a celluloid dream was made,
Which generated many a heated tirade,
Poor-reality will not change, although the film has made an Oscar-mark.

Hilary and Obama in Malaysia

Zoo names new lion cubs Obama and Hilary
Zookeepers in Malaysia's southern Johor state have named two new African lion cubs after US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton LINK


Two Malaysian lions really need to be feted,
They delivered two cubs and are so elated ,
The new arrivals we hail,
One male and one female,
Their generation, into the next has propagated


The next step for each is to give a nice name'
Has to be powerful and nothing small and tame,
And one called Obama roars,
As Hilary saunters in on all fours,
Washington's OK; but now life will never be the same.....

It's illegal, Dad!

In a fit of anger 'Tandav' my daughter danced
She extacted money, it was 'terror financed'
'Good for nothing, you angry young turk'
I said to her, 'you don't do any work'
Don't you know, she said, child labour is banned!

A MOVIE-ING TWIST TO THE DEVDAS SAGA

(I was bowled over by Anurag Kashyap's Dev-D, almost unanimously critically acclaimed for its cinematic qualities and for a new vision of the self-pitying, drowning-in-drink, unable-to-act tragic lover Devdas.)

Anurag Kashyap’s Dev-D does drown in sorrow,
When he is unable to marry his beloved Paro,

He drinks, he dopes, he goes round the bend,
But there’s a modern, upbeat twist at the end,

Dev goes with Chanda, saying “purani baatein chhoro”.

The 4 crore drive

Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe at 4 crore rupees !
Priced at Rs 4-crore (Rs 40 million) in India, the Coupe can be customised (but not modified) and allows buyers the option of choosing from 44,000 colours. Link










The Rolls Royce Phantom has a model called DropHead,
Just ideal for drivers suffering potholes on the road bed,
Managing ditches and absorbing shocks,
A special horn to honk when traffic locks,
At 4 crores, in the monsoon, I am already seeing red........
