Please sing to the tune of Sixteen Going on Seventeen from The Sound of Music…

(Advani sings to Modi…)

You wait little boy,
On an empty stage,
For fate to turn the light on,
Your life little boy,
Is an empty PM’s chair,
That politicians will want to trample on,
You are 62 going on 63,
Baby it’s time to think,
Better beware,
Be canny and careful,
Baby you’re on the brink,
You are 62 going on 63,
Fellows will fall in line,
Eager young Tweeple,
And TV hosts and analysts,
Will offer you PM dreams,
Totally unprepared are you,
To face the world of Delhi,
Timid and shy and scared are you,
Of things beyond your ken,
You need someone,
Older and wiser,
Telling you what to do,
I am 85 going on 86,
I’ll take care of the PM’s chair…

Pappu can’t rule sala…

While Nehru was affectionately called Chacha, his great grandson Rahul is called Pappu.
Please sing to the tune of Pappu Can’t Dance from the movie Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na.

Hai irregular, hai popular,
Nonspectacular, he is a bachelor,
Pappu ki party Congrezz hai,
Pappu ke jokes ekdum craze hai,
Pappu simply hasn’t a clue,
Pappu dikhta angrez hai,
Bas bade bade sapne uske baaton main,
Stubble Bollywood hero wala,
Par Pappu can’t rule sala,
Haan Pappu raj nahi kar sakta.

Paida Pappu hua to kismate chamki,
Aur uske muh main the chandi ki chamchi,
Pappu ke paas hai paisa,
Haathon ke mail ke jaisa,
Pappu Congrezz ka aakhir hope hai,
Pappu buddhu hai aur short hai,
Par Pappu can’t rule sala,
Haan Pappu raj nahi kar sakta.

Papa kehte hai bada naam karega,
Mera Pappu to aisa kaam karega.

Pappu ke paas hai MBA,
(Master of Bees Administration)
Karta hai foreign main holiday,
Pappu public ki bajata hai,
Jahan jaata hai hasi chah jaati hai.

Per Pappu can’t rule sala,
Haan Pappu raj nahi sakta…

It’s raining scams…

The scams in India just keep piling up. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, the CAG presented three scams in a single day including Coalgate, the biggest of them all…

Please sing to the tune of It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls…

Hi, Hi! We’re your neighbourhood politicians, ah-huh,
And have we got news for you—You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely citizens,
and leave those scruples at home, alright!
Corruption is rising, morality’s getting low,
According to all sources, the scam’s the way to go,
Cause today for the first time,
Just about 2012,
For the first time in India’s history,
It’s gonna start raining scams.
It’s raining scams! Hallelujah! It’s raining scams! Amen!
These politicos are gonna go out to run and let themselves get
absolutely soaking wet in black money!
It’s raining scams! Hallelujah!
It’s raining scams! Of every shape and size!
Billions, millions, big and small,
Power, coal, spectrum, housing, coffins, oil… they’ve covered them all.
God bless the First Politicians, they knew what to do,
They ripped off all our resources and did what they had to do,
They taught every next politician to live his own black dream,
So that each and every leader could find the perfect scam,
It’s raining scams! Hallelujah! It’s raining scams! Amen!
It’s raining scams! Hallelujah!
It’s raining scams! Ame———nnnn!

Where the mind is without fear remixed…

Posted on by

With due apologies to Rabindranath Tagore‘s original, but something that is required in 21st century India…

Where the cartoonist is without fear and the satirist’s head is held high;
Where the Internet is free;
Where the protestor’s will has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic politics;
Where online and print words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection and not persecution;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead politicians;
Where every mind is led forward into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, let my country awake…
