An Indo-US nuclear kid <br />Jayaprakash A. Panicker Kovilloor <br /> <br />This is plain stupid, dad <br />People defecate on the road. <br />It is okay, it’s India my kid <br />Millions do so in this land. <br /> <br />Dad, see that boy in the sun out there in rags <br />Who begs and beseeches from car to cabs? <br />This is the way some of us grow up here <br />Their number is not small either dear. <br /> <br />See some streets where women show faces <br />What do they all do there together, dad? <br />It is a matter of ‘fact’ and a kind of trade <br />Which is the oldest and so commonplace. <br /> <br />Is it true, here kids die before they are born? <br />You are right, not all kids but the female ones. <br />How the hell do the people do it my dad? <br />Some moms ‘still’ it, some docs make them still born. <br /> <br />They say India is shining, my dad, yes? <br />Yes, yes, yes, dear, it shines in the rich. <br />But my dear child, er, or. alright, come fast <br />But what is it dad, tell me, what is that? <br /> <br />No, no. We are very well off in our US dear <br />It’s a short stint; you know what we are in for? <br />Your grandpa is sinking; we need to be near. <br />Forget about these, we fly off in the near future. <br /> <br />See, they hold some placards and US, US they shout <br />Oh, that is about a deal, I will tell you in short. <br />It is a set up which, they say, will eradicate <br />Whatever is not shining the way they expect. <br /> <br />Then what is this one two three dad? <br />Oh, it is just like our abcd my kid. <br />One is for ‘once and for ever’ <br />Two is for ‘no two are equal’ <br />And three is for? ..and three is for? <br />Three is for ‘third world order’. <br /> <br />You are, of course, an Indo-US nuclear dad. <br /> <br />29.8.8/8.30pm<br /><br />A.
