Mr Chidambaram is the finance minister of India who for the second time has presented a kind of dream budget. This is a tribute to one of the most admired Inidans today.

My dear Chdambaram
Considering that you had to do a balancing act pervading a wide spectrum
Considering that you had to pander to many a communist tantrum
Your budget is so wonderful that one feels like beating a drum
One doesn’t mind getting intoxicated by whisky and Rum
It is indeed difficult to maintain decorum
Your budget has really put India on a higher rostrum
You have proved that for economic progress, an astute politician can be a fulcrum
Whether individually or in quorum
I hope you and your budget are not only appreciated in this but each & every forum.

So wonderful is your budget
That one hopes that it sets India’s fortunes set soaring as a Jet
Only in implementation if you fidget
It will remain a kind of Vignette
