Days for water

Brussels sets world record for longest toilet queue : A world record for the length of a toilet queue was set on Sunday when 756 people lined up for a latrine in central Brussels to raise awareness for the need for clean water on World Water Day. (link)




You never know what records people make,

Like a queue-size outside a toilet which was fake,
756 people waiting to get in,
Showing the use of a latrine,

Hygiene education for the third world sake.......




You dont need to teach the use, we say,
My bai gets no water, on World Water Day,
All these causes we espouse,

Some dont even have a house,

Reallocation of funds is needed in Bombay..........

Forgetting Mahatma, Remebering him...

Palestinian Activists Inspited by Bapu [Link]

Mr. Khalid, the leader at Palestine
Follows mahatma, well, that's fine
But others with his surname
Abet violence to seek fame
They forgot him already, that's bad sign!

THE QUESTIONABLE EFFECTS OF THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

(Many companies have announced pay cuts and retrenchments. Interestingly, some of these companies are rumoured to have made profits in this financial year, not as huge as in the past years maybe, but profits nevertheless.)

The waves of salary are rolling back,
India Shining’s façade is starting to crack,

Some employers are jumping into the fray
To cut throats, despite a profit display,

Not ‘in the red’, they are just being Black.

The 2.5% 'Cut'

In a shocking admission, a Delhi government inspection report has concluded that nearly 90% of electricity meters checked in the national Capital were overcharging, running 2.5% higher than the error margin limit. [Link].

It happens in Delhi, our nation's capital city
Citizens are overcharged, them we pity
On the anvil are elections
The leaders demand actions
Sanity comes with the shock of electricity

Desperate throws, desperate verdicts

Slipper thrown in Supreme court, Judge Ducks.... (Link) New Delhi: Four women and a man were sentenced to three months imprisonment on Friday after one of them hurled a slipper at a Supreme Court judge.















You never thought this could happen I bet,

Courts, for revolutionary changes, are set,
From slippers , to defend,
Judges now duck and bend,
Curly wigs now giving way to a helmet........

Delay in scheduling, off comes your shoe,
Dont like the verdict, That is your cue,
Before anyone can budge,
You throw it at the judge,

But wait ! Prison may just be the new place for you.......

Neta ?

Sanjay Dutt's first 'neta' act (Link)

लीडर लोगोंसे मेरा है एक सवाल ,
यू पी के लोगोंका कैसा है ये हाल ,
पहीले मारते है बढ़ाई ,
फिर बढ़ती है मेहेंगाई ,
दिल में बन्दूक, लेकिन सर पे टोपी लाल



लोगों को हत्यारों से से डराया ,
सुना नहीं जो पिता ने सिखाया ,
अभी साइकल पे सवार ,
अमर ने किया तैयार,
ओये संसदभवन ! देख कौन आया !

Currency "reigns" : no drought here..


Karnataka tops notorious states' list. (Link)

Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh has defended the distribution of money at the Saifai meeting where party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav was also present. He claimed the money was a Holi gift to Mulayam's extended familyCash for votes :
(Link)

Govinda does a Mulayam, distributes money ...
.(Link)






Andhra,Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu top in votes-for money,
Govinda distributes currency so openly, he's no longer funny,
But Amar Singh so shameless,
Distributes money to the nameless,
There are photos of human bees with the monetary honey

Ethics was not a strong point, power hungry as they can be,
"A Holi gift for my extended families", says Mulayamsinghji,
Your fortunes will flower,
If you elect me to Power,
To become someone, you always have to pay a hefty fee....
