Technocratical Society
In the past days, I haven’t been blogging. A lot has happened in that time – terrorist attack in Mumbai, MNS lost track, global recession set in and Congress advanced in the country.
Here’s an ode to the state of the society as viewed by my nephew, Shantanu Chandra who is in Class XII, Amity International, Gurgaon. The lines below capture the times prevailing and the need for us to drop the “chalta hai” attitude but with caution:
This techie world of gizmo and gadget
This eerie feeling of incongruous widget
Which gives us pleasure and takes pain
Along with it makes us insane;
Absurdness to such a horizon from where one would never fall
And still people call you “Microsoft—…That’s all”
A teen like me can’t do without a mobile-call
Even though I know it is killing my brain cells, after all;
This techie world of gizmo and gadget
Makes a non-techie guy weird and hollow
The bureaucrat are more concerned about their Sunday meal
Than to serve the poor people whose wounds to heal
Now is the time to for people to ask and for Them to reveal all
Why did Taj, Trident, CST, Nariman got blown away
though Alert were all…
MNS and Thackrey still boast about hurting Indians
Even though keeping army of 5000 North Indians
And losing the favour of Indians in them
But still are the Maharashtrians voting for them:
The BPO and Call Centre are losing trends
Even Jet and rest are making rules bend
The hailing men have nowhere to go
So they have restored to protesting friends and foe
Stop this ongoing row
Sonia!! …..help do….!!!
Rang De Basanti does(n’t) show peace
Killing father, drinking alcohol
Smoking cigarettes and boasting all with violence
A foreigner sets all of them killing
And still the director says “its generation awakening”
