S. NIHAL SINGH

Have you seen 
a funnier sight 
than a baseball cap 
resting on an 
improbable head? 

Bindi on forehead, 
tight pyjamas 
and a floppy 
shirt desperately 
hiding waves of flesh. 

The setting is 
the stadium; 
it is a 
run for a 
good cause. 

What politicians 
must do to 
earn a living. 
Or perhaps it is 
fame that beckons. 

Baseball caps don’t go 
with Indian gear 
on frames redolent 
of overindulgence 
in food. 

No exercise 
makes our netas 
spread out, 
taking more space 
than they should.
