An Ode to the Handsome Governor -------------------------------------------------- (Sharing in full for the stuff whose link I had put up earlier) He won’t cut the rates, just cos they want to He’ll keep his bat straight and play the ball true Mr. Rajan is a copybook governor, if you please He won’t play that shot, just cos they tease The wielders of power in exalted Delhi and the dubious experts who people the telly shed copious tears for the economy to rebound And proffer him the advice they claim is very sound But no, sir, no, sir — the chief of the RBI (unlike some counterparts in the CBI) is not known to bend to please the powers-that-be He’ll wait for the ball to be where it should be. Inflation, you see, is not your growing hair You can’t cut it at will, you’ve got to show some care So the governor makes sure he sees the right data He won’t do a random act to please a clueless neta! For prices hit the poor, tilt the balance askew Inflation hurts exports — if only those experts knew! This is a special monster that creeps up like a flood The guv learnt his stuff at IMF — he ain’t no half-baked dud! The economy’s more than the chambers of commerce One man’s blessing could be another man’s curse So the governor with a famously good-looking face Says what he knows and knows that he says. -- N.Madhavan, blogs.hindustantimes/madversity
