Thanks to NIC
In good old days you went to synods
To listen to the voice of the gods
The world makes progress, the times have changed
The gods, by computers, have been replaced
So it is the NIC that is the refuge of the atheists
Where Dr. Sheshagiri and his colleagues are the high priests
We learn the multi media and how to make the screen glow
Get introduced to 4GL and forget the languages low
Communication technology is the main theme of study
And what is better than IT for corporate strategy
Learn the graphics and the electronic mail
How does it matter if computers sometimes fail
Arise, awake and get on with the new times
Oracle - the powerful one - is the instrument prime
Will we all this new technology retain
What does it matter if we do not get to use it again
But thanks to NIC and GOI for this week
Let us have it more often, it changes the beat
