Functional Design

a poem by Sidharth Kumar

Engrossed in my job daily
Day and night with team members Arun and Rishii
Knowing its the inevitable result of booming IT
Eventually fetching me and them a party
Creating test plans and cases
All in separate showcases
Scrupulous attentions so benign
I know it’ll aid the “Project Functional Design”
Solitary parameters and code workflow
Making several minds glow
Tete-a-tete with supreme validations
And prone to grisly mutations
Screwed up with tight deadline
Oh damn it, call up US helpline
In comes the savant mind reader
He’s Rajesh, our new Team Leader
What’s radical about this design
Trapping all us in a shrine
A paper operable for developers
Cultivating them are we testers
Tracking bugs
But not blaming the thugs
In this rat race completely forgot
Oh, should I say or not
Is the professional life in sync with real life
Am pondering over this statement
More to assert with argument
The conclusion, de facto, is a big NO
How mean can I be when I say so
Life craves for a balance
Else the void would create the imbalance
Joining hands together
For one single altruistic favour
To leap upon “Life Functional Design” without whine
That’s catering to the penultimate goal line
Turbining energy to efface human shortcoming
Making the world sustaining and nourishing
Obscurity may not deem us
Enlightenment and peace may bless us
So let the soul flow in nirvana
Getting free locked like the botswana
Growing morally and spiritually
With esteemed agility
We keep working in all directions
With no objections
Elementary, the Project Functional Design
Alimentary, the Life Functional Design
Two cheeks of the same coin
Oh, dun waste time and lets rejoin!
