Yes, dear Friend, I would try.

There was a lovely touching song from an Indian movie - Pyasa (Thirsty)

of Gurudatta. (Late fifties or early sixties!!!)

This song Software Ke Phool (fool) is a paody of that song.

This song is trasnslated as:

*

This world of the documents, these meetings, these features,

This world of enemies of human beings, of cursors,

This world of robotic management, hungry of deadlines,

What is so great even if one product is finished;

 

Here the programmer is but a tool in the hands of big bosses,

This world is the place of dead bug-fixers,

Here rate of inflation outsrtips increment in pay,

What is so great even if one Review is completed;

 

Every keyboard is wounded, every login is thirsty,

Excel is depressed, winword is confusing,

This Office is ruled by the deceptive tentacles of Microsoft,

What is so great even if gets realeased;

 

Burn this monitor, throw away this multimedia,

Get the modem away from my sight,

This computer is yours, let it overpower you,

What is so great even if this product is a success.
