Lullaby

Came across this adaptation of Hush lil baby dont say a word and found it intriguingingly funny:

Hush little baby don't you squall Momma's gonna buy you a crystal ball
And if you still can't see beyond Momma's gonna buy you a magic wand
And if that wand don't change your fate Momma's gonna teach you to levitate
And if the astral makes you sick Momma's gonna buy you an incense stick
And if that frankincense smells rank Mom'll buy a sensory deprivation tank
And if that tank don't float your bones Momma's gonna buy you some some precious stones
And if those gems don't ease your heart Momma's gonna buy you a natal chart
And if your planets go berserk Momma's gonna buy you some bodywork
And if your aura still needs kneading Momma's gonna buy you a past life reading
And if your destiny stays hid Momma's gonna buy you a pyramid
And if your chakras still feel stressed Momma's gonna take you on a vision quest
And if power animals don't come to charm ya Sorry, kid, it's just your karma

Road manners

Was reading this article in RD about how courteous we Indians are. Are we? Well as a matter of fact we are, not because it is good but for the reason that it is obligatory. Ofcourse we say namaste to all elders even touch their feet but do we give a friendly smile or a hi when our eyes meet a stranger’s. Wait ..dont tell me you smile everytime you see an unknown girl who is beautiful…that doesn’t count. Anyways forget it we may or may not be courteous to each other in normal day to day life but there is one area where we don’t even know the ‘C’ of courtesy and thats road manners.

Do we have any? I doubt that. As the traffic signal countdown reaches five everybody start to honk impatiently. C’mon! nobody wishes to stand there forever …we all are in a hurry and the guy in front of you cant just jump the light while there are still a few seconds left. We overtake from left , right and thank God its not possible else we could have overtaken over and under the vehicles as well. We shout , we yell, we bump , we crash…..why? To save two minutes which aren’t actually saved. I mean on a crowdy road all those who overtook you by almost brushing your shoulder like they would fly next moment , can be found waiting by the time you reach next signal.
