Brain-Drain Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

What is intelligence?
It is one's capacity for logic
Abstract thought, understanding
Self-awareness, communication
Learning, emotional knowledge
Memory, planning, creativity
And problem solving.

Watch your child from the day one
If very intelligent
Guide properly in every direction
If the child moves on right track
He will be a successful person
And will be placed in foreign firm
With higher package.

You will be a billionaire soon
Your child will build the nation
Like America, Germany, Switzerland.
People will respect you
As the parent of a competent child
The govt. will say
It's nothing but brain-drain.
