Remix Mania

devahuti choudhury December 19, 2004

Tags: dreaming , remixing , fusion , satire

I wish the whole world were on a C.D,
And I was a witch D.J;
I would’ve mixed and matched and maybe,
Make the whole world rejuvenate;
I would’ve-
Made Bush and Saddam brothers,
Will that not be the end of all troubles?
Marriage of Sonia and
Pervez will be a grand fusion,
And Mr. Singh would’ve exclaimed,
“Now that’s an essay in mutual comprehension”.
Exchange of Uma Bharti and Aishwarya Rai will be a prize,
For, Bollywood would then completely saffronize;
Mr. Advani would then invite Ms. Rai,
But she would raise a storm and say, “I do not talk to small fry!”
Ganguly would’ve been the Prime Minister,
For, in times of crisis all he would have to do is to change his shirt;
Veerappan would have been the Lok Sabha speaker,
Then nobody would dare throw chairs hither and thither;
Olympics would be all about excellence in corruption,
All the medals would of course be ours without any interruption;
Subroto Roy would have been a renowned Acharya,
And every body would go to him for ‘Sahara’;
Of the anti corruption drive Tom Cruise would be the muscle,
His commission would be named Mission Impossible;
Laloo Prasad would be known for his literary expertise,
And we would all be reading Fodder and Prejudice.
Alas! This is just a web I have spun,
Which will never rise above fantasy.
But don’t you think it will be so much fun,
To live in a world of virtual reality?
