	Hey!! Hey!! Hey !!!
	I was the one who put it on that mailing list man!!

	Prem!

	Here's some more with a desi twist I made up :
	----------------------------------------------
	(No offense is meant to anyone from Calcutta, Bombay, Bangalore,
	 Madras or New Delhi. Nor is any offense  meant to gays, banias,
	 sambar-lovers, computer-whizzes or gay-over-weight-bania-computer
	 -whizzes. These were made for humour, and the selection of lead
	 characters was purely based on the rules of rhyme.)

		When it rains in Calcutta,
		People just become wetter,
		    But if it snows,
		    Everyone knows,
		They'd pack up and move to Quetta.
		--------------------------------------------------

		There was this cute chap from Bombay,
		Who people swore was gay,
		    It was the way he walked,
		    And the way he talked,
		But folks in Colaba preferred him that way.
		--------------------------------------------------

		There was this engineer from Bangalore,
		Who was afraid he was such a bore,
		    He spoke either of software,
		    Or of computer hardware,
		And people just headed for the door.
		--------------------------------------------------

		There was this belle from Bangalore,
		They thought she was smart when she was four,
		    When she was sixteen of age,
		    She went to Maharani's college,
		And no one thought she was smart anymore.

		(Actually, I came up with a more popular version which 
		 employed a five letter word beginning with 'w', ending 
		 in 'ore', with a 'h' in it somewhere..... I don't like
		 that version so much, though I guess it was funnier...

			There was this belle from Bangalore,
			So sweet and pure when she was four,
		            When she was sixteen of age,
		            She went to Maharani's college,
		        And now everyone thought she was a -----.
		 )
		--------------------------------------------------

		(You need to know a little about Hyderabad for the next two...)

		    There was this girl from Hyderabad,
		    Such unbelievably good looks she had,
		        When she ventured out in Abids,
		        She was hounded by the kids,
		    From Nampally, Begumpet and Secunderabad.

		(And in case you girls from Hyderabad are getting a 
		 little too sure of yourselves, here is the downer......  ;-)

		    There was this girl from Hyderabad,
		    Such unbelievably bad breath she had,
		        When she ventured out in Koti,
		        Young men in  pants or a dhoti,
		    Fled to Nampally, Begumpet and Secunderabad.
		--------------------------------------------------


	These are a bit ...er..., y'know.....
	-------------------------------------
		There was this young guy from Madras,
		With an ability quite gross,
		    If you fed him some batter,
		    and filled him with water,
		He shot Sambaar out of his ass.

		There was this bania from New Delhi,
		Who wanted to trim his belly,
		    His doctor said "Jogging,
		    or exercise by Walking,
		Not just by wanking your willie".  
				(Actually this one is better in Hindi........)
				(Moott maarna is such an evocative phrase..!!)
