The law of the land

A short poem on the recent outbreak seeking screening of information on social network, ruining the rights to crib on internet!

The law of the land is made up of junk,
Only to serve the ministry’s punk,

Why no speech and no right to write,
It’s darkening the future bright,

Broadband is a revolution,
Cunningness is a crime,

Empower your children,
Not getting away and shine,

It is the new age my old friend,
Learn the better things of time,

Wild and crazy chimes,
Not everybody will mind,

Stop this nonsense,
To hold feelings back is crime,

Do not bring in new rules,
Don’t waste our time,

Do you want banners and we march?
To the nearest popular garden,

Stretch of green pastures,
Disturbed by our voice?

Don’t make us be rude,
This ain’t the time,

When growth and finance,
Is on everybody’s mind,

Work on the inflation,
For which you are flat in your face,

There are better things to do,
Better don’t be late…

Bless me – Earth!

A changing nature getting warm,
With heat, earth warns,
Dont abuse me, enough,
Dont greed for me, enough,

Depleating is my strength,
Can i not breathe and replish?
Each day my burden goes up,
Did u not touch a 7 billion?

Deep in the space,
I am alone, lonely,
Care for me,
Get this thing deep in your mind,

Each day i bleed,
Each day sky holes up,
For you still need me,
Cant you find someone like me, again,

I bless you, oh saint,
Dont whine if i cant take it,
Limitless and shameless,
Care for your future,

You ruin my shade,
I feel for you,
You wont be left with food,
What will you answer your baby?

Eat, am loving it!
Sleep, am at rest,
But dont itch me,
It pains,

Humble plea,
As much i need you,
Never will i betray,
Love me, you are my children,

ps: earth is asking u to be humble, pay heed to it.

Cute boy Black Brew

Eyes are tender, cold and blue,
That’s my boy, you Black Brew,
Crushing a stone, unlike you,
Let’s go, wear your shoe.

Walk by the road, don’t you bark,
Catch your bone, that of a lark,
I tame you, bright and dark,
For each day, you lead me to park.

Why don’t you, run around,
Ever since the day, you were browned,
Break down, the bone of a lark,
Let’s head to the south of town.

You know it, you assure me,
Of how a pack is undone,
The moment you see a better half,
Wag your tail and start long run,

No baby, do not go there,
It may not be from fresh air,
With another breed, no affair,
Shun you, the little teddy bear,

Head for your hut now,
Start your little cute bow-bow,
I am listening, I know it how,
Enough of your chow-chow.

Dedicated to my future dog (if any)*

Kingfisher enigma fails to die in Media

I fail to understand why everyone is after Kingfisher. In a day, in a time span of 30 minutes there are three news that appear.

One of them states that Airlines have mounted up debts because of Government Policies: Given the present conditions, many in media are debating whether India should have allowed 24% FDI and if they had done so, Airlines would not have been in debts. How in the world will that help is what I fail to understand? So that means Naresh Goyal wants to stack away majority of his airline stake in Mauritius and Vijay Mallya in Cayman Islands and avoid taxes in the country?

Agreed, state sales tax on Aviation turbine fuel (aka ATF) is proving to be very costly, what if the world crude oil prices were on the same level as today’s price minus the taxes? Will the airlines still rue the same fuel and taxes cry? The fact is that ATF prices are even cheaper than Petrol in India baffles me. I understand the fact that unlike our cars, an aircraft needs that in tons.

ATF Prices as on November 16, 2011 (per Kilo Liter)
Delhi 62310.33
Kolkata 70465.19
Mumbai 63228.40
Chennai 67018.04

Hire me! says Tony Fernandes of Air Asia.

The CEO of Southeast Asia’s largest airlines, Air Asia, Tony says the present condition of Air business in India because they lack focus. Frequent change of ideology from Full service to Low Cost, trying to do too many things at the same time has costed the loss they are making today. I think he is true up to a certain extent. He also says that in India, owners do not manage airlines like he does for Air Asia – which I think wont be true as Naresh Goyal and IndiGo promoters run their airlines.

There is also the view that Kingfisher should be saved and banks should convert its debt into equity at current market prices to take a stake of more than 51%. Once acquired, they can collectively sell that stake to an investor who can afford to pay the money banks ask for.

With so many of experts and no so experts popping up in media with their views, Kingfisher enigma will surely not fail in long time to come. Hail Media!
