Jai Ho - Elections !!

There is always a euphoria on the coming elections in India ---whether its National or State. With the Delhi elections round the corner, I am reminded of a poem very apt for the occasion.

Here I bring my manifesto , O voters be merry,
The tree of your desire will yield blooms and berries...

I am an independent fighter ,banking on my inner stream,
Alone i fight the veteran foes without a guiding team.

Let my rivals boast about their glorious acts and deeds,
I am proud of my cooks , skilled to serve and feed ...

I will gladden every heart, satisfy their need,
I will stop once for all ,the drains of all the streets...

I will brooke no budgetary cuts on cinema songs and commerce,
but when it comes to industry , i will economize...

My sensitive conscience cannot even rest in peace,
unless a water pump is installed in every crooked street...

I will revamp the system ,change the course of life,
And in every voters home a ration card provide...

You have borne heavy taxes for 200 years,
I will give you tax relief ,set you free from fear...

Thinner still will become the clothes of beauties sweet,
Schools will remain closed for seven days a week...

Teachers will draw their salaries for idleness complete,
If students bunk their classes , whom will they teach ?

Conventions of sloth and slump will be reinforced ,
Youngsters will adorn themselves with hair,touching the toes...

Police station will be abolished ,lock-ups will stay,
why should an additional nuisance on our hearts prey...

Come On these are elections we do idolize,
gives a lot to gossip and time to shred...
