Hunched over the Hindutva horoscope

Sadhvi Bindya

had hardly the time to pore over

the map of India.

When questioned by Mr Wadhwa, her pot-bellied host

realtor and black market’s toast,

she answered to much acclaim,

“The horoscopes of India and Hindutva,

aren’t they the same?”

At which Mr. Wadhwa and Mrs. Wadhwi

paid obeisance

to the all- knowing Sadhvi.

 


 

Keki Daruwalla writes poetry and fiction. He lives in Delhi. His novel Ancestral Affairs was recently published by Harper Collins. He won the Commonwealth Poetry Award (Asia) for his poetry volume Landscapes. His latest book is a poetry collection,Naishapur and Babylon, brought out by Speaking Tiger Books.
