THE END

They tell me, I'm brave
How much but, I dread the grave
End haunts all, emperor or slave

Eyes, Kidneys, pinkies; To the Doc I have said
No beneficial organ to be spared
Damn! Why did I not wear a fucking condom!

-That's not me!

Bollywood

Barrels of glycerine, eighty synchronized dancers around banyan trees
Olympic-sized mansions, exotic countries for the so very few symphonies
Lives the hero ever after with embedded bullets, mocking Newton's theories
Long-lost brothers, reincarnations to fistfully challenge the villain's armies
Your favorites making special appearances, riding horses in civilized cities
Wannabe endings to Ohh! so funny comedies
Original scripts and scores, not to mention the choreographies
Ooomph scenes, audience pleasing editing by the censor authorities
Damn this industry for employing and entertaining millions of families?

-Another Indian jubilant at the resolved issue between multiplexes and producers

The Weak

MONsoon months, the couple gay
TUEsday, the 10th of May
WEDding halts, priests fray
THUndering words, church has the final say
FRIghtened duo, part away
SATan triumphs! Had the two been brave
SUN would have shined for those who dared to be gay

-Straight

Dilemma

Democracy or Commi?
INC or BJP?
Linux or XP?
Eco-friendly or luxury?
Mommy or Daddy?
MBA or Ph.D?
Arsenal or Chelsea?

-A United fan, just before an Arsenal Chelsea game

McDowells Mera No. 1

Mundane summer, bored me
Counter-strike Bots, AoE
Desperate blogging, hopeless tee-vee
Oily fingers, growing tummy
What?, How?, When? on FB
Exit from World Cup, blames on Dhoni
Lols in talks, smiles, laughs and colon p
Loss of Ronaldo, hopes on glory
Should I taste a lil bit of whiskey?

Money I have, bars I know
Ecstatic soul, second thoughts though
Reasons I have,Will let it go
Against alcohol I, had forgotten so

Numbers I dont have, of homes destroyed
On this land, millions with joy devoid
1 pleasure all my life, willing to avoid
