For the Glory of India

                   - By Vivek Pereira

India is my nation
As much as it’s yours;
Should a difference in ideologies
Lead to rioting and wars?

Having opposing views
Is certainly not sedition;
Too much of brainwashing
Has led to this condition.

All should come together:
The left and the right;
For the glory of India
We must all fight.

For our enemies desire
To see our country divided;
And this is being accomplished
By citizens who are misguided.

Never fear or envy
Folks different from you;
All colours are wonderful,
especially saffron, green and blue.

Don’t fall for political rhetoric
That’s intolerant and cheap;
Just for the sake of power,
A divisive agenda they’ll keep.

So let’s take a pledge
to counter such seeds of hate;
And strive for peace and unity;
That’ll make India ever so great.

My Take On The Brexit Outcome

I wasn’t surprised by the #Brexit vote at all. The Leave verdict is not as xenophobic as it has been made out to be. Perhaps a demarcation needs to be made between a vitriolic campaign of opportunistic political hawks and millions of British citizens who just wanted independence from the clutches of the European Union. Racism did play a role, but it would have been a very miniscule role, in my opinion.

Although I detest the Great Mexican Wall of Donald Trump, I did think #Brexit was not a bad idea at all for the Brits. It put their economy back in their own hands. How would Indians feel if our economic decisions were made in Kabul? Exactly. #Brexit was also a fallout of the poor handling of the economy and the result of immigration policies that put the kingdom at great risk from terrorists sneaking in from other European countries.

Great Britain and the world now need to stem the tide and ensure that opportunities are not wasted. The British government and its people can prove to the world that the #Brexit verdict was not influenced greatly by bigotry and racism. They can have a tougher yet reasonable immigration policy which screens applicants thoroughly for their propensity to commit crime or acts of terror but that does not bar them on the basis of their religion, nationality or ethnic background. The Brits need to give a big thumbs down to the likes of Donald Trump who will deliberately misconstrue the verdict of the referendum with false propaganda to gain backing for their xenophobic campaigns.

Christmathon 2014: Modi Claus is Coming to Town....on an Adani Jet

You better watch out

For you will only cry

Better not smile,

I'm telling you why,

Modi Claus is coming to town!

He's making a fake encounter list

and checking it twice,

While CBI books online citizens

who were naughty not nice

Modi Claus will perform Ghar Vapsi in town!

Sahib spies on girls when they're sleeping,

He knows when they're awake,

He knows when Minorities are good or bad,

Remember Gujarat 2002 for Goodness Sake!

You better watch out

For you will only cry

Better not smile,

I'm telling you why,

Modi Claus is coming to town!

(We will conclude with the famous Christmas poem "T'was the night before Good Governance Day")

Christmathon 2014: Smriti, the Egg faced Mantri

Smriti the egg-faced Mantri

had a very long, long nose,

and every time she lies,

One inch longer it grows.

All of the other Mantris,

used to laugh and call her names,

they never let poor Smriti,

play in any right wing games!

Then one smoggy Good Governance Eve,

Modi came to say,

"Smriti with your nose so long,

why don't you sing a Sanghi song"

Then how the mantris loved her,

as she flashed her fake Yale Degree,

Smriti, the egg-faced Mantri,

is distorting texts of Indian History!

(Note: Our next carol is "Modi Claus is Coming to Town....on an Adani Jet")

Christmathon 2014: I'm dreaming of a Swachh Bharat

Welcome to our Christmathon! This year we celebrate this joyous occasion with the proper fine-tuning of our content that is desperately needed, given the changed political climate in our country. So, we have modified some of the popular Christmas Carols and poems for the benefit of our more "patriotic" readers. 

All school and college students are supposed to learn these poems and songs online on Good Governance Day i.e. 25th December, which by a strange coincidence happens to be a major festival of non-Indian origin that has been imported from the West i.e. Israel.

Here's a sample verse:

I'm dreaming of a Swachh Bharat,

Just like the one we never knew;

Where history books burn,

and children heads turn

to hear the sound of riots from which they eschew!

I'm dreaming of a Swachh Bharat,

With every Good Governance essays we write;

May your diet be veggie and teetotaled,

and may all your Good Governance days be DRY!!

Dear Readers, here's wishing you all a Merry Good Governance Day and a Swachh New Year!

(Note: Our next carol is entitled  'Smriti the egg-faced Mantri')
