Do Bigha Zameen...Two Acres of Land

1953, Do Bigha Zameen, a brilliant movie which depicted the hardship and the toil a family had to face so as not to lose their two acres of land.

2006, Do Bigha Zameen, all one needs to do is compromise.

Reservations

That potatoes come in various sizes and colours and shapes is a well known fact by now. The section of the field of potatoes called Intheair, knows this better than any other section in the field of potatoes.

As it is, less by nature and more by design, it came to pass that some potatoes were prominent , others less.

This fact tickled the overgrown potatoes no end; their eyes saw an opportunity to keep growing.

They devised a scheme, as scheming goes,
To make all potatoes the same.
And what a scheme it was, as scheming goes,
Reservations was the given grand name

Potatoes come in various sizes,
This as a fact is well known.
We will stop this scheme, the overgrown potatoes promised,
When all potatoes are fully grown.

The prominent potatoes were less happy,
The less prominent were more.
This schemes, as other schemings go,
Were lost in the days of yore.

The overgrown potatoes grew bigger,
The rest remained the same.
This scheme, as all scheming goes,
Did not lower their eyes in shame.

And they remained potatoes happily ever after.

Rice does matter

And they all remained potatoes happily ever after.

The Grapes of (W)Rath

The rift between two varieties in the section of the field of potatoes called Intheair (the r is hardly pronounced) is widening. Violence flares up in the blink of an eye.

Strains of, we didn't start the fire, it was always burning, waft through the air.

The treads of the Rath's wheels, have not attempted to douse the fire, if not anything else.
