Talking about controversies, I was reminded of the controversy my poem on Globalization created a few days back! So I am putting up my poem in here for all to read as also providing the links to the poem on my blog (u can find the reactions of ppl there!).
BEWARE! GLOBALIZATION HAS COME
This world is no longer wonderful:
It doesn't take imagination to know
What America is like for an Indian;
The TV shows us all
It doesn't take intuition to know
When mother remembered me because
I have a cell phone now
It doesn't take industry to know
When what was done because
The computer does it all
It doesn't take intelligence to know
What is what because
The internet has it all
It doesn't take knowledge to live
Our lives, only `information' matters,
And this world has it all
You cannot start at a point here
And be rest assured you'd reach there again
You might risk toppling over the edges
For this world is no longer round
