Bollywood horror story
I did not watch many Bollywood "horror" movies in the 1970s and 80s however noticed their posters and was intrigued by their names. The one's I watched made me realize they were made with low budgets and shot in abandoned mansions, textile mills etc. There was also a film "Raat Ke Andhere Mein" warning the viewer in advance to not expect much lighting in the film, which could help reduce the budget even further. I found the censor's certification of "Adult" for such movies unfair as they were depriving children of some entertainment they might have enjoyed. These films also had actors who could not get roles in mainstream cinema. Jaspal Bhatti had also made an episode in his flop show series where a film made by the name of "Kabrastan Ka Chowkidar" gets the best comedy award. Such films that had a lot of smoke all around would possibly sound a pollution alarm as per today's standards.

Sunny Days
Daily I could greet
Press your tired feet
Hoping clouds make way
for a bright sunny day
Wipe your tears
Banish all fears
towards success go marching

April Phool Banaya
April Phool (flower in Hindi) Banaya (made in Hindi).
Sounds like the Bollywood title song of a classic sung by Mohammad Rafi Sab.
But here it brings joy to everyone as there are no victims but only silent revelers.

Heard Immunity
Indian constitution gives its citizens a fundamental right of freedom of speech and expression which a fundamental pillar of democracy.
When those who oppose the incumbent government in India are questioned for tax or any other matter they complain of "muzzling voices of dissent" which I would call as "heard immunity".Essentially meaning that once you start opposing you should be heard irrespective of the merits of your arguments and play the victim card whenever convenient.

PAD to HeliPAD
At the peak of Sony Walkman's popularity there was an advertisement by an Airline with the caption: "Don't walk man, fly". Probably inspired by this Indian politicians have increasingly moved from PAD yatras (a pilgrimage on foot to express polical concerns) to HeliPAD yatras (using helicopters).

Extra miles
Outside our bedroom:
No room for brooding
Only broadening smiles
The colours and brightness
make worthy those extra miles
