Three alphabets

The nationalised bank greets clients

With a novel secular 'golu' of
Docile animals and meek humans
Whose days are as numbered
As the rest of us though we may
Find ourselves breathing longer
Than we would normally like to be,
The visually impaired are now offered
Magnifying lens to fill out their forms
Maybe even read the day's Hindi word
And go home and be inspired to learn
More such words the smart phone teaches,
Imagine learning a language under duress
Initiating a child into three alphabets.
