Get fiscal with Marx

As banks around the world sink without a trace
and panic-stricken governments lose their face
Marx's books fly off shelves
Jittering neo-liberal nerves
Passing fad? But here by rests capitalism's case.

Times wonders whether Marx was right after all. No he was left.

The trajedy of Raj

There was once an uncle Bal who taught his nephew
Raj how to make people bow to your writ and sinew
Now we laugh at the Quixotic in Raj
Seeing windmills-are-demons mirage
My advice: take a break, see the moonlit-Taj anew.

Bye Bye Ganguly

Bengali Dada No.1, Sourav Ganguly
Truly a gem, cricket's lapis lazuli
Made his bat talk without pity
Whenever he had an opportunity
Did he get his due, tell me frankly.
