The Very Indian Poem

India a country where
we say Horn Ok Please

Its read this way
‘To Stop Train Pull Chain’

Sex is a hushed topic at home
but you can call the clinic to know more
you read the number
over the mob of sweaty shoulders
Be you anywhere in the train
you will always know what to do.
It’s either about HIV/AIDS in Hindi (or)
infertility issues for he and she
with cutouts of the perfect human anatomy

What you watch at home
and on the board
is tagged obscene.
Rape a girl- violate her sanctity
marry her and its sacred in return

It’s India a country
where we read ‘we are like this only’
Newspapers carry Mr.K is gay
K says “I’ve been misquoted…”
They reply “Sorry. It’s already noted.”

You pay 5 hundreds to get past the lights
the gods help you if you get robbed at night
Deshmukh will say go to the station next to the place
and once there Pandey claims “lekin yeh mera area nahi”
Come, come let’s not be that pessimistic
you might just have Patil respond “come, let me help you.”

It’s India a country where
(most) say “its ok, Hota rehta hai“
Sneeze and you’ll make it to
Breaking News!

Whatever we believe in we are always happy
Its either the Congress or the BJP
State has its own lil minions
but they all go to form coalitions.

India Shining
Incredible India!
Lead India
(For the addict) Erotic India
Exotic India
Unveiling desires of India
and lets face it. It’s still India!
a country where -

you and I can leave that gap
to finish it in time.
