It’s tough to be in expensive shoes

Price of everything in India has gone up
And it doesn’t seems to drop
Vegetables ,transport and other utilities
Which while having dinner poor Gopal’s wife was thinking.

Gopal used to have only rice and curds
Which in India is poor man’s bread
He had not tasted dal or vegetables for a long time
Although his children were complaining some times.

Gopal’s son said his friends could not eat with curds
As from childhood they were fed with rich food
Gopal’s wife with sympathy noted,
“I don’t know how people with money manage!”

They don’t care about us

Gopal and his friend were beggars
Who were begging by the side of a road
They were starving for many days
And were discussing to fill their stomach, some means.

They heard a political bigwig was going on an indefinite fast
For government to settle his demands fast
The police had to shift him to hospital
And forcefully his stomach had to fill.

Gopal’s friend came up with an idea,
Told him to change the name of that road forward a plea
And both of them to go on an indefinite fast
So government will force them to drop the fast,
by giving them something to eat!

The ever filled reservoir of the school teacher

Teachers in India like to impart knowledge
So their students can have an edge
Their Students are their pride
Whom they proudly remember when they retire.

Gopal was from a small town
Where he studied his childhood lessons
Now he had money, fame and fortune
And to show it to his teacher he returned.

To come along with him he requested his poor teacher
But teacher said it is not the rule of Mother Nature
He being here for many students like Gopal, can show way
As water flows but the river stays!”

In Search of God

Devotees throng to the temple
As nowadays they face problems ample
To pray to God and get it solved
And successes in life to achieve.

5 years old Gopal had class exams
So his mother took him to holy sanctum
When he asked her why should he go there
His mother replied, “God lives there.”

Near the temple a wise man was consoling a farmer
By saying, “Don’t worry with you God is there.”
Hearing this Gopal told his mother
“Then to see God let us go with farmer!”

Out of blue solution

Gopal was watching T.V. in morn
After repeatedly warning his 5 years old son
Who was doing lot of mischief
And troubling his wife.

He was not sitting in one place,
His wife was finding hard his problem to face
While an adhesive Ad in T.V. caught Gopal’s eye
Which proclaimed it remains stuck till you die.

Gopal’s wife asked him, his son to look after
As lot of other chores she had to take care
Gopal replied, “Seat him atop of adhesive can
Then other work to do you can!

Hey Ram!

Now it is ‘use and throw’ culture
And there is huge difference from the days of our Grandfather
Who owned wire-rimmed glasses and pen
Which could be proudly preserved till generations.

Things made today in our land
Doesn’t last even for a lifetime
Glasses meaning thin, fashionable contact lenses
Which could be used only till passing of that academic exams.

Gandhi said “means are more important then ends”
And through non-violence from British freedom for our country lent
But we now by making –“end is more important than means”,
Undoing the hard earned freedom’s good deeds!

“….will be done. Give us a few days.”

To settle the border issue in Pok or China
For PM of India turned out to be unresolved mania
Then a senior Cabinet colleague came across out-of-the box solution
To depute the Bellary Mining Mafia Warlords on this mission.


They were happy to be offered another open land grab offer by politicians
As these men are brave, dare-devil and care-a-damn people
Who are not afraid of Chinese army or the Pakistan terrorists
Since they have proven domain expertise with a long string of achievements.

Bellary Mafia were ready to venture deep into Pok or Arunachal
As long as on the other side minerals are available
The right people to get our rightful land back
By applying moving the borders a few kilometers tactics!
