Whether in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai Road scenes, yes, incredibly incredulous! Drive through Kolkata Mahatma Gandhi Road straight Rags hung across metal road dividers meet your eyes. More attentive, these are but uniforms Of Bharat Band washed on M.G. Road pavement. Water supply? No problem, just unscrew the roadside hydrant And Loa! A laundry instant To rid stubborn beetle leaf stain Scrub, rub, beat hard without restrain. Earn a living, The Bharat Band Play instruments and the drum for ceremonies and weddings. My words, please do not misunderstand It is not advertisement for The Bharat Band. Let us switch over to Mumbai It's no different to Kolkata, Chennai Traffic woes never cease, weary traveller never at ease. Multiple compulsion take to the roads? Mumbai hospitals magnetic pull Surge patients through proper channel Tata Memorial Centre, Parel Life's high hopes with results Yes, India's pride One of the best Easy reach made arduous To carcinoma control The path strewn with boulders Acid tests on the roads. Please continue through Follow ups, I sigh Alas! Again the roads need to be traversed Nightmares in broad daylights Sleazy operations Men clothed as women gyrate vulgar with outstretched palms Extortion at each traffic junction Volley of abuse for not paying attention To loquacious eunuch demands. Andheri, Bandra, Dadar, Khar, Borivili, Mallad. O Lord! We pray for justice Three wheelers of Chennai roads Spin you aimless Though it is stones throw distance From temple to your hotel rooms. Perhaps the driver is brand new on the roads Yet to be familiar with the whereabouts Of the various city offers. Our nerves! The meek and humble God bless us!
