India Today
All the same, the other day,
Puffing wills lights and Cut-Navy,
And with their hearts heavy,
They were talking of affairs toady,
(of-course pretty Indian way!)
Over a cup of Nescafe;
And crisp pretzels indeed.
Some found matters sordid,
And others splendid.
Though views prone to difference,
(Truce this nonsense)
All concluded I concurrence,
(Kudos to this nonchalance)
More than twice
“The coffee is nice”.
(The Hitavada, Sunday-Oct 20, 1985.)
