NO PIPE DREAMS

[lineate]

No, corruption doesn’t affect me,
I am happy and satisfied,
To live in my world that I own,
Where I’ve smiled and cried.

‘I don’t have to worry about netas,
Nor for the babus I care,
They can’t fleece me anymore,
As I lie in my home half bare.

[/lineate]

The election promises are fairy tales,
We don’t believe in what they say and do,
My grandfather used to live here,
My grandchildren will live here too.

I don’t dream of the year 2050,
When we shall be world’s biggest power,
Or the year when they will finally think of us,
No, Sir, we here live by the hour.

All people are born equal,
So does our religion tell us,
But, we can’t be the ones they talk about,
So why simply should we make big fuss?

[/lineate]

[lineate]

Only, next time you sit in your home,
And curse the gods for your bad lot,
Just think of us in our homes here,
And be thankful for what you’ve got

[/lineate]

When you crib about insipid food,
And not having anything good on telly,
Just give a thought to how we live,
And sleep mostly on empty belly.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

  4. The pic says it all. Those who have less know how to appreciate it. It is only those whose ‘dil maange more’ that crib and cry and curse. Great work!
