'Holier than thou'

And as sarkozy sat alone
Howzz my carla, aloud he moaned
shocking Mr. singh out of his wits
This is India, you fool, you hare brained twit!!!

But Sarkozy went on & wailed aloud
I miss my carla, your prez is draped in a shroud
Dead-er than a mummy is she
Oh how my carla used to sing to me

Mr. Singh got up & smacked him hard
Sheez d head of our state, how dare u do such bakwas
What if she has the brain size of a pea
She'd serve u hot coffee & tea

"In my France", sarkozy went on
You can have affairs, come hail come storm
Why are you so uptight, now tell me
No feelings, no desires, now, this can't be!!

& Mr. Singh laughed out loud
We keep these things in private, come on, no doubt
For if my wife knew of my fling last
In her life, I'd be relegated to the past!!!

Sobbed on Sarkozy, wept on he
You still could let carla and me be!
Am fed up of your attitude
Tis' only chez moi, where I'd find solitude!!

Mr. Singh had tears in his eyes
"I can see my fault", "I'll blast my guys"
Such a romantic couple, world has never seen
You may not be the king, but Carla's certainly the queen.....

Soaring dragon, Dancing elephant

Sino-India relations have hit a new high....Following Sonia Gandhi's much hyped Beijing visit some time back, P.M Manmohan Singh's Beijing Yatra seems to be bearing fruit as well...If all goes as planned, the border issues betweebn the 2 countires shall stand resolved in the near future....

But is this proceeding the same way as we would like it...Accept it or not, China today is much more powerful than it is assumed to be...It is capable of mobilising forces in the north east sector in a matter of a week....The rail road to Lhasa has given it a stratgic advantage that it sure would exploit....Contrast this with our precarious situation in the North east, where even 60 years post-independence, We do not have a rail-link to any N-E state other than Assam!!!

India swallowed a bitter pill following the 1962 war, but apparently the taste has been forgotten....China's strategic advantage in the region poses a huge security challenge to India's integrity...and this issue is still being taken lightly..

Tibet is another cause of concern..Effectively India recognized PRC's control over Tibet, in lieu of China's recognition of Sikkim as an Indian state...Tibet is no ordinary territory, it is of historical imporatnce to India, for it acts as a buffer between China & India...With Nepal certain to go red sooner rather than later, of course democratically(presumed!!!)...China's influence in that nation would counter Indian interests.....

Next in line is Myanmar....China has been steadily helping the burmese in upgrading their ports and establishing road & rail links....The Burmese junta is believed to be sympathetic to the Chinese...This is another cause of concern!

The picture is very grim..Pakistan continues to be in China's pocket....India hads effectively been surrounded on all sides byu China....And all we are doing is following a policy of 'Wait n watch'....

We need to wake up sooner rather than later...The threat of the dragon is too huge and obvious to be missed now....

Good Times

Man If I could write a song
to whom wud dat belong
The beauty who sets my heart aflutter
or the poor child cleanin up the gutters

In the neverland of the dreams of yore
where in deed i have been before
apples hanging from the trees
where all men & women are free

raucous crowds celebrating life
joy everywhere, no violence,no strife
no rich, no poor, all are the same
deaf, dumb, blind or lame

lead me into such lands
where the sun shines down upon the sands
clear waters, lazy sea
datz whr I want to be!!!

Me, myself and misery

Oh the holy unknown I beseech thee
Unleash my thoughts and let me be free

For my mind's playing games and I can not see
What it would be like to be the real me

And I know not who I am
The wonder of fate, or some sham

The joke of destiny or a farce played out
I long for me, I yearn to sprout

Obstacles, roadblocks, I falter at them
In front of my eyes, yet into them I ram

Shattered I lie, broken at soul
None can help me, coz' I'm all alone

Vigour, vitality, all that I lack
Its on walls of stone, my head, where I crack

I bleed now, I bleed from within
My spirit wanes, as I am burning
