Big Brother learns to tap dance

Outlook magazine reported that the Indian intelligence services are keeping tabs on all kinds of electronic communication: landline calls, cellphone conversations, sms exchanges and chat. 


Big Brother, you've earned yourself a limerick:

It seems our phone lines are tapped
To plug the information gap,
Thousands are employed,
Ministers are overjoyed
Listening to unadulterated crap.

On your phone when you hear strange clicks,
Try some shrewd and canny tricks,
Chant a melodic Italian aria
Praise the Prince and Mama Sonia,
Who knows, you'll be chosen the Prince's sidekick.

Loot the exchequer


We are idle, say ministers, to the PM we'll complain,
We can't loot the exchequer, nor ride the gravy train.
