For Khushwant Singh

by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

An old man of acerbic letters
Who had traveled a lot
By the "Train To Pakistan"
In the realm of literature
And jarring journalism
In the whole world
With malice towards one and all
Believing in the principle
"Eat, drink and be merry"
Is now no more......!

'In the Company of Women'
Loving, glamorous, voluptuous-
Countless buxom whores;
He now rests cuddled
Freed from the mortal frame
Up in the celestial Heaven
With sweet sylphs and fair fairies
For titillating gods and goddesses...
