feet and mind travel this amazing planet. Thank you all for

Eye. During the sizzling month of May, my roving eye
captured a wide variety of moments.. mountains and menus,
snapshots and soundbites.. Enjoy.. If you have something

The
duffer, the bluffer,
the man with the
muffler
Which one of these men
will we have to suffer
If you voted for Modi
go jump in the sea
If you voted for Rahul
you're dumber than he
If you voted for Kejri
then that should be
fine
Because sooner or
later the man will
resign
Democracy demands we
give them a chance
But this time I think
we should join in the
dance
Coz whoever they are,
the men at the helm
The country still
belongs to us, not to
them
We gave them their
seats, the
two-seventy-two
We voted them to power
between me and you
But whether they prove
to be wise men or
fools
This nation is ours so
let's play by the
rules
Let's not break the
law, can we please
stand in line
Let's not pull those
strings to avoid
paying a fine
Let's finally get that
a red light means stop
Let's not stoop to
bribing the poor
traffic cop
Let's be part of the
reason our country is
great
Let's be good citizens
before it's too late
Let's serve our great
country without
hesitation
Let's all work
together to build a
strong nation
Enough of the
trolling, the barbs
and the fights
Now let's stick
together, stand up for
our rights
Enough of debates on
religion and caste
Now let's be united,
secular at last
They might have the
seats, the
two-seventy-two
But the country
belongs to me and to
you
And we're a billion
people, a billion and
plus
At the end of the day,
the onus is on us.
