Rama's Revenge

In the school day in Ram's school
The headmaster for its successes has worked all tools
But Rama was not in his good books
So on him Rama decided to try a trick.

All the parents of students had gathered
Lights where brilliantly lit in stage
The chief guest had arrived
And headmaster thought successes guaranteed.

It was Rama's task to sing the prayer
So all people stood-up
But instead he sang the National Anthem
So audience left thinking it was end of program.

Not word, Word document!

Gopal was in 12th grade
And his holidays approached
He wanted to enjoy it
But his father asked him to help a bit.

As the associate in his office was on leave
And a copy of report had to be finished
He asked Gopal to give him a hand
When with his friends he had joined hands.

Gopal was on his way to go out
When his father asked him to help him out
Gopal said, “Don’t worry, I will give you my word.”
His father replied, “All I need is the Word document.”!

Education Fills!

Gopal was brought up by his step-mother
Who did not wish from her son Gopal to go further
She told his father Gopal did not know anything
So to send him to farming.

Right to Education bill was passed in India
With purpose to provide education as an idea
Gopal’s step-mother did not know about the bill
When Government teachers in front of her house showed.

Teachers saw Gopal with Cattles
Asked him where was his mother to tell,
Step-mother said, “Gopal had an empty mind,”
Teachers replied, “Education purpose is to replace it with open one, so to send!”

How is India today?

India speeds on, in the path
With precious ancient moral lost
Gopal was traveling in a train
Which stopped at a platform.

He left the seat to fill his water bottle
Leaving his ‘India Today’ magazine in the seat,
In that unreserved compartment someone else occupied
A minute later after returning leaving Gopal petrified.

“Oh, no, I’ve lost my seat!”, Gopal thought
And asked a co-passenger, “And where’s my India Today?
“Son”, an elderly man, who’d seen it all,
Replied, “This is India today!.”

A Fine Line

There are more fish in the pond
And the pond has expanded its social boundaries
Gopal tried to spread the emotional investments across the spaces
By being single, on arrival of a new girl in his life.

Three weeks after the celebration of our nations republic day
Gopal decided his D-day is the V-Day
But art of striking conversation with a girl was beyond him from childhood,
Being used to watching movies with Mangalam sound track in the end.

Gopal being a charming light hearted man
All he could do is take out his pen
And explore power of love, its random, transitory and elusive nature
By sincerely writing his feelings on this paper.

Eternal Sunshine

They think light and innocent, their guilt makes
And they are on their way to eternal smiles
By frightening to death the innocent young
To go all guilty themselves.

DGP SPS Rathore the molester of the young
Thought happiness to him belongs
When he laughed his way out of the court
After two decades of fight while childs father faced defeat.

DGP’s this plan with few risks
Made media and judiciary awake
And the joyful, tearful smiles of the family after getting justice
Is the way providence shows all that matters is the last laugh.

The unfinished fight in paper

10 years old Gopal used to fight with his sister,
His mother had hard time bringing them up together
Gopal was naughty in school as well;
One day his teacher told a story on “Heavy weight fight” to write well.

Gopal began to write with great interest
As in TV he always used to watch the fights
But he did not have the talent to go further
With loss of words to explain better.

The teacher started to read his assignment
And asked why it tailed off with resent
Nifty Gopal replied, “Ah, sir it was getting late you see,
As my mother stopped the fight at the end of round three!

Nothing works like an idiot!

In college Gopal was heroic, smart and genius
And he was hated by all his classmates
He wanted to be among friends
So with new identity and mission he lands.

Instead of closing eyes, ears and mouth from evil
And being negative about our value system
He replaced Gandhiji’s three monkeys icon
By positive laughing at himself icon.

His friends looked at him with pity
And came forward to help him instantly
As they thought he was an idiot and they were wise;
Gopal was happy his new formula worked precise.

Your eyes are perfectly normal, but…

India is a democratic country
And people from all walks of life can enter parliament
Without qualification or ability
Just by manipulating citizen’s empathy.

An actor had huge popularity
So he turned to politics and became minister simply
His PA brought files to sign in his office
The actor said his eye sight is poor, so not to disturb him please.

So minister’s PA took him to optician
And a set of alphabets to read he was given,
At the staring actor, the doctor came to conclusion
He can’t read because to school, he had not been!

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!”

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!

Help!, I lost my mobile…

Geetha was on shopping spree with her husband
And he was struggling to meet her demands
He borrowed her mobile to talk to his friend
To ask whether his credit card he would lend.

He was walking on the street
Busy talking without seeing where
he is landing his feet
And fell into an open manhole
Making his wife’s face turn pale.

Geetha screamed for help
And a policeman near her stopped
She shouted, “I lost my mobile,
My husband fell while talking on it, into manhole!”

The Way It Works

Although India has a democratic government
Few state government are corrupt
The complaints of the people
Is of no avail for elected representatives of the people.

A minister was on a visit to a town
To, one of his statue to unveil,
The road on his journey was filled with potholes
On the bumpy ride at his PA he smiled.

He said, “Today in this town by my statue,
I would be known forever,
So why to this potholes I should bother.
His PA replied, “But people here had made
you remembered forever,
By allocating the name to the largest pothole in your favour!

Smart Rama

Rama was in 5th grade
But his intelligence none could trade
The way his parents he tried to evade
When results of his failure is displayed.

Rama always spent his time playing
And his home-work not doing
Telling his mother his subjects were easy
So for coming exam he need not be busy.

When exam results were announced
Except one, in all subjects he failed,
And seeing the report card when his father enquired,
“It is due to concentrating too much on one subject”, he replied!

The bomb that will never go off

An Indian traveler lost his way in Zurich airport,
A fellow Malayali refused when help he sought
Dejected, while he was sitting in empty corner
Tariq Anwar,A NewYork Muslim gentle touched his shoulder.

He took him through winding corridors, up and down escalators
To find the terminal and departure gate
And left requesting him to take care of his baggage,
Now the Indian was in a fix with a stranger's luggage.

As the world had not got recovered from the 9/11 shock,
The Indian with fear was expecting explosion to go off,
But after sometime Tariq came and relived Indian of the tension,
Assuring by saying, "For your bomb in my bag I gave, to faith and trust attention!".

Unexpected Beneficiary

A young man was eager to please his girl friend
So his money on flowers and gift hampers he spent,
He brushed his shoes and combed his hair
To her girl friend how handsome he was to make aware.

He walked with flowers and gift hampers
Where his girl friend was there
In a beautiful house in heart of the town
Confident today her heart he would win.

He rang the calling bell,
To be opened by her dad
And he had to explore the "Joy of Giving"
By hastily his benediction on her father offloading!

Can't Stop Marriage from mid air

A thread millowner in the morn hurriedly boarded a Boeing in chennai
Fellow passenger asked why he breathed heavily
He said, "I have to be in Coimbator by 10
To teach the villain of verses a lesson.

When passenger wondered, slowly he started spilling the beans,
His daughter was in love with a poet,
Looking beyond at open skies,
He said, "How could he give daughter to dreaming penniless poet.

Here is a thread millman, trying to prevent a holy knot being tied,
But marriages are made in heaven someone had said,
As Boeing circled over Coimbator thrice without descending
Since due to bad weather it would fly back without landing.
