(More like heavy metal baritonal incoherent inconsequential utterings, rants, ramblings, or in short “noise“. TO BE IGNORED BY EVERYBODY)

you draw me to a corner, and you whack away,

“quota” is all you’ve got with you,

to throw in everybody’s court, and say “ur turn”

cuz u know noone will volley back

everyone’s got to keep their vote bank

lets just make one more swipe at it

and move another clan up the rank

will make good content for the history books later

how the “Great Indian General Category” ship sank

I’m a part of the majority they say

I’ve suppressed and oppressed so many people

and its their duty bring them up

upto my “high” standards of living.

“high” standards?

Last time I took an college admit

the primary factor was the college’s fees sheet

“hello, can’t hear u, ur voice is breaking up”

is all I can hear in response from u, Mr. politician

As I see another xx% quota announcement on national television

or one about bainsla asking for asking for another y% for his satiation

But anyways, I’ve learnt to live with it everyday

cuz I know a bright future for my grand (or great-grand) kids is at bay

As the time is not that far away, when we listen to this and nod our heads

“Mr. Leader No.xxx announced zz% quota for the general category today”

Am back from home but still there’s not much time to write much…Am unable to visit you all too. Please bear with me for a few more days … :)

Meanwhile, just wanted to let u guys know that yesterday, bro and me gifted a Maruit Alto to Dad as a birthday gift. His first car…Dad was so happy and I was even happier cuz it was my first step to *try to* repay everything he has done for me so far… :)

And yes, my roommate has written something that is in context of a common friend of ours but applies universally. It happens so often with the poor male species..tsk tsk..
Go and read “Neha Network Systems” by Amit.
