The Bodhi Tree of Poems
Occasionally drops names
Besides the usual hits
Bird droppings, tidbits
While I contemplate
My life until date
Has been eventful,
But I remain unseen
Lost in the quagmire
Jane Aiyyar has been my bane
And I am insane
Ever since she quit to be
Tarzan Nair’s
Daughter
And at the altar
He laughed
As I was led to slaughter!
It is not for the fickle minded
To know Jane Aiyyar
She has this craze for KB, also Aiyyar
That he cheats by dreaming poems
She drops name
Hints darkly, enquires
Did I meet that one
And her, and her
You should see the fieyaar
The blaze in her eyes
Is like an Aussie bush fire
Oh Jane
I have a headache
Not tonight, I am dead,
The sofa is Ok
That is where I lay
For thirty plus ‘ears
And the poems
Inside the blankets
Bring to me the cheers
Regards

Great to hear from you
Of course, it is not purely an Indian phenomenon But obviously whatever else we like, we are mostly interested in India. So we discuss it, primarily.
As for it being an young country, though I can relate to it. I am not sure we can use the excuse too long due to the information flow in the present world. A century back we had to learn our own lessons; now the world is our school and the data we are fed is tremendous. Just a thought

On your comment on Reviews and Rebirths -
I think the lack of comments on that post (and consequently on your “award”) has more to do with my lack of popularity, the desire of readers to side-step inconvenient incident mentioned in the post, and the fact that I was off a break resulting in less readers. Still, I guess that’s not so important.
There is nothing much to say on your other comments. Come up with something, if you want to be considered for next year’s award :))

Hey VT ..thanks for your comment. Now I know what Choki Dhani means. Would never have figured it out myself. Yes I did think of starting something quite similar in my own homestate some day when I retire but I shelved the problem no sooner than I thought of it cos I knew the Unions and the labour problems would never allow it to be run as efficiently. Anyways cest la vie here.

On the names -
No. I don’t think the reason is the alphabets. Both Hindi and Telugu have letters for Sa, Sha, and the sound in between. I personally just like the sound of Sarath than Sharath. Maybe we are lazier; surely Sha takes more effort than Sa. But the opposite is true for ending with th and d :))
Haunted house stories were always there around me, and for various reasons I never had to live my challenge of tackling it alone. Though I speak very boldly against these things, I think, I have a good chance of being scared if the situation is properly aligned; that’s why maybe I found a way to escape :))

Hi VT,
Once you had said something like you wonder how much money/donations go into the social sector in India. I got to know today:
India has 1.2 million registered NGOs as of now.
The social sector raises 600 million USD every year (Rs 2700 Crore if we take Ex-rate as $1=Rs45)
So, they get 2700 crore every year. But the report says India has the potential of raising 10 Billion USD every year! (Ref: today’s Mint)
Am posting it here instead of mailing you, so that you get some surprises when you decide to log into iland
