About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

India

who cares if India dies
neither you nor I
a Lok Sabha seat my criminal record ensures
a Rajya Sabha seat your billions can buy

who cares if India dies
neither you nor I
while we negotiate a Ministerial berth with NDA
the lines of communication remain open with Sonia tai


who cares if India dies
neither you nor I 
I flaunt diplomatic immunity
your cars flaunts a red beacon light

who cares if India dies
neither you nor I
your child is in Harvard
mine is headed to Carlyle

who cares if India dies
neither you nor I
the world is our oyster
an HNI is welcome where he flies

who cares if India dies
neither you nor I
Mercs line the street outside my home
you vacation in Australia or Hawaii
