Why Don't You Get Improved? (എന്താടോ, നന്നാവത്തെ) Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

Why Don't You Get Improved? (എന്താടോ, നന്നാവത്തെ)



Our DVD player wanted to be repaired
As it stopped working all of a sudden;
Why we need to pay repair charges
For an old piece of electronic item
Was my firm decision since my retirement,
Yet, I tried to repair it economically, but in vain

Today, my wife took the DVD player
And its remote controller for cleaning purpose;
While cleaning, she was talking to the DVD-
With mixed reactions, as if to a known person at home;
After that she connected it to the TV to give a try,
By telling a famous piece of dialogue in a movie:
'എന്താടോ, നന്നാവത്തെ…,
ഡിജിറ്റൽ വേർസാറ്റൈൽ ഡിസ്‌കെ…? '.
('What is this? Why don't you get improved.., Digital Versatile Disc..? ')

To my surprise, the DVD now started working;
How? Perhaps, it reveals two things unclearly:
The first one may be that everything needs a friendly care
In addition to the so called official customer care;
And the second may be that it should be the loving person
That has to give a piece of advice to the dear ones!
