Dodgy Politics

Hodgy Podgy, beware
The house is on fire
It is doggie, dodgy politics out there

But has it gone to the dogs?
Bark, bark, my beloved country

There are, indeed, so many sayings
and phrases
Seems tailor made for every dog

Every dog has its day,
but today dog just aint yours!
(due apologies - Toby Keith)
Once bitten, twice shy

Matters have come to such a pass
It is a dog-eat-dog world, after all
With and without apologies

Come to think of it,
It's a dog's life, all said and done
No bitching
Have any doubt?

Coming to the subject of dogs and licking -
Boots, food and leftovers
In Malayalam, there is a phrase:
Among dogs,
there are some that lick the leftovers
And some
left to lick the cheeks of other dogs
(Malayalam: ela-nakki pattiyum, ela-nakki pattiyude chiri nakki pattiyum)

When it comes to licking boots,
it seems there is a cyclic affliction
Regretfully, the dogs can't straighten their tails
No matter how much they try
Respectably, let us note.

Feku the Fraudster on a Throne

Feku the fraudster sat on a throne Feku the fraudster pulled a fast one A masterstroke! A masterstroke! Feku the fraudster set everything afire Now, put out the fire, put out the fire Feku the fraudster laughed, yelled and cried A masterstroke! A masterstroke! Feku the fraudster laughed, yelled and cried All the fraudster’s cows and toadies Went around, in circles, in circles Couldn’t put out the engulfing fire Feku the fraudster’s tail was now afire And, all over a burning hell fire.

Tributes to Dr Amar Bose, founder Bose Corporation   (11-Feb-1929 -- 12-Jul-2013) Dr Amar Bose, 83, died on July 12,Wayland, Massachusetts. Bose Corp. is the maker of some of the best sound systems in the world. Perhaps, Dr Bose was to acoustic engineering and design, what Steve Jobs was to computing. Very different personality. But he brought in disruptive innovation. The presence of Bose Systems was felt by the sound, not through any visual flamboyance of the product. Some of the systems were totally hidden. Understated elegance with unparalleled sound quality. They were expensive, premium products meant for those who really cared a great deal about sound quality and were willing to pay for it. Bose Corporation is a privately held company, with majority shares given to MIT, by Dr Bose. The dividends support education and research. I finally became a proud owner of a Bose system only recently, when I managed to get a modestly priced product at a Bose store. On that day ther...

Racist Attacks on Africans in India (near Delhi) - Reaction to an 'Expert Opinion'

One of my friends from Kenya referred to an article on the recent racist attacks on Africans in India by one Kul Bhushan who had been a newspaper editor in Kenya for three decades. In the article, the writer more or less advises the Indian authorities on combating prejudice and violence against Africans in India. This is my response to the views expressed in that article, which was shared by my friend. The article, sadly, is a shameful and disgusting way to 'advise' the Indian authorities. The writer is more worried about the negative economic impacts of the racial hate crimes in India than the real roots of these recurring racist crimes. That isn't surprising given the Indian capital's search for investment opportunities in Africa and the need for cordial relations to pursue those goals. The writer indirectly, without appearing to say it, makes statements that are rooted in the prevailing racial prejudices among many Indians against the blacks. Are  there really s...
