Twinkle, twinkle my star,
Before I go behind the bar.
I hate words like -- Oh, alas!
Get me rid of this Biswas.

Notes (not in any particular order):
1) T. N. Seshan is the ex-Chief Election Commissioner, the terror and
scourge of corrupt politicians, who cleaned-up the rigged election
system that Indian democracy was (still is?), and later tried to run for
President (and lost).
2) Pankaj-Udas (actually spelt Udhas) is a singer of mostly melancholic
songs (sounds like country & westers?). His last name, Udhas, is a pun
on a Hindi word meaning 'sad'.
3) Laloo is Laloo Prasad Yadav, the embattled Chief Minister of Bihar,
one of the most corrupt states in the country. He is in 'custody' having
been accused of embezzling funds from the treasury. He made his
illeterate wife the chief minister in his stead and currently rules
Bihar by proxy. Mr. Biswas is the person in charge of the investigation
into the embezzlement.
