EVENTuary 2012!!!!!

As the curtains drop tonight on twenty twelve;

on a dark angst ridden winter night,

a year not gone down too well for us;

solemnly hoping for the next one to usher something right;

Jan saw our netas biting the dust, Kalmadi gets bail and Raja gets jail;

none of these matter as through these choppy waters; easily they sail;

Karnataka ministers in the parliament were found to be watching porn;

earning them a rundown suspension and national scorn

Army Chief finally admitted to his age;

withdrawing his petition in Supreme Court and vacating his seat with grace;

accidental killings of Kerala fishermen by Italian Navy;

initial lack of action soon boils down to a national rage;

The electoral dance of democracy comes to a close in 5 states;

The bicycle veers in to deflate the pompous mammoth;

in a hope clear the mess the elephant wrought;

a few days later Pronob da reads the budget that will change our fates;

Parliament celebrates its entry into the seniority den;

with its archetypal boycotts and slogans forever raising the din;

Manmohan breathes three sighs of relief- each for a year spent in the top seat;

for a speechless head of the state- this definitely is a great feat;

SRK finally is K K Knighted in IPL season in May;

Little Master vows for the Upper House,

Little heeding to the nation's growing retirement grouse;

The original Bollywood's He Man  Dara Singh passes away,

leaving a great void on the nation's health;

The first superstar of the nation is no more;

we know you hate tears; the tears of the nation just began to pour;

the pRACEidential race hots up;

each party picking its own nominee:its own stooge;

for a role which inherently is a working leader's last refuge;

Brethren of the Seven Sisters face tumultuous times in Pune;

Bengalooru follows suit till such time that sanity returns;

Nationalism is such sensitive and finicky;

a slight urge did riot patriotism create;

The gloom descends as Master of Romance leaves us for the heavenly alps,

followed by the original Shiv Sainik - an apt Ek Tha Tiger;

immediately deported to the place unknown - Ajmal Kasab,

The nation heaves a sigh - Bas Ab!!!!

December has never been so brutal;

India's daughter succumbs to savage excesses

the nation condemns the growing apathy;

as the Government tries to calm the masses;
