Naokhali is near

As far as truth is concerned, some say
Nanavati is near, Bannerjee far away.
It all depends on where you stand:
Left, right or off centre. Quicksand
of Naokhali is near, Sabarmati far away.

Cause Celebre

I'm these days quite amused by a new diva
Sizzling hot daughter of one Sen Amartya,
whose bold theses, according to grapewine
links poverty of clothes to sexual famine.
No wonder, if she's found wearing a cerebra.

{If you still didn't get it, grab the new issue of The Man. It has Nandana Sen as cover who promises to bare both body and soul}

Fashion-miester

North Block's got a new fashion-miester
He swears by madam super prime minister
The dude even skipped his homework
to look dapper as terror went berserk
Who wouldn't? World's taken a bend sinister.
