<img style="float: left;" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2021/oct/Rahul-op_e.jpg" alt="Rahul Da Cunha" width="200" height="69" />And so, dear reader it&rsquo;s been a turbulent week&mdash;with Punjab and its colourful cast of characters, the India Premier League and Air India all grabbing the headlines.
Inspired, I decided to write some songs, try my hand at verse and attempt some nifty rhyming!
(Note&mdash;I&rsquo;m only allowed to share one verse, please forgive me, dear reader, I&rsquo;m under contract with Saavn and Spotify)
Captain Amarinder Had A State (sung to the tune of Old McDonald had a farm)
Captain Amarinder had a state&nbsp; P-U-N-J-A-B And in this state he had a clown S-H-E-R-R-Y With a sulk sulk here And much drama there Here a tantrum, there a turn-around Everywhere a merry -go-round Captain Amarinder had a state P-U-N-J-A-B And in this state he met some siblings G-A-N-D-H-I With a bro-bro here And a sis-sis there Here a bro, there a sis They&rsquo;ve managed to get everyone pissed pissed&nbsp; Captain Amarinder had a state Well, now he doesn&rsquo;t! Oh-no-oh-no-oh.
Oh Blah Ad, Oh Weird Ad (Sung to the tune of The Beatles&rsquo; Obladi Oblada)
Sachin gives you fundas on mutual funds Virat Kohli tells you MRF is the best Dhoni in a strange suit&nbsp; does a funny dance And Sehwag sits atop a giant Finolex pipe O blah ad, oh weird ad IPL goes on, yeah IPL life goes on&nbsp; Shah Rukh gives me BYJU&rsquo;s gyaan with spectacles on Ranveer jumps around for Jio Fibre Varun does a double act that makes no sense And Pan Masala is the flavour of the month&nbsp; Oh blah ad, oh weird ad&nbsp; IPL goes on, ya Ohoho IPL goes on And celebrities make their crores Sweet crores And celebrities make their crores But the ads just keep getting blah!
The Colour of Pinkness &nbsp;(sung by Sanju Samson, captain Rajasthan Royals, to the tune of &nbsp;Simon &amp; Garfunkel&rsquo;s The Sound of Silence)
Hello pinkness, my old friend I have to wear you once again In truth we look genuinely weird Even if we sport a black black beard And the vision, as we come out to field still remains It&rsquo;s the colour of pinkness In restless dreams I bat alone What to do I&rsquo;m the RR backbone But even then I look like a flamingo with a blueish hue A velvet cake who&rsquo;s icing&rsquo;s blue And while I retain some dignity It&rsquo;s a pity (even though it&rsquo;s the Pink City) We wear the colour of pinkness And in the Sharjah floodlights I saw Ten thousand masked people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening And no one dared disturb the colour of pinkness No wonder Jos Buttler went back home Hoping for a uniform coloured red and chrome To wear pink pyjamas&nbsp; For the next season I hope and pray For a jersy at least that&rsquo;s grey And not the colour of pinkness.
So, dear reader, I hope you enjoyed these verses. I&rsquo;m working on several other songs, one of which is called, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sidhu?
