Idle Mind, Devil's Workshop



leaders with no job, create NRC scare
a citizen's list, how is it unfair?
data, exists now, but scattered
passport, pan, aadhar..whatever mattered
time to rope insome one like Nilekani
he loves such tasks, like fish lovespaani
but makesure, noaadhaar-like mess
those long queues put people to much stress
look for those in BPL's edges
those being used like leaders' hedges
this has nothing to do with religion
leave none - all are parts ofdigital legion
anation that doesn't know its citizens
will be object ofworld-wide derision
