Toast to the Taurean Two!

Ten years ago, as I vividly recollect,
they were the first two SIESites I had met!
And now, they step forward to say ‘I do’,
to seal the union of the gang’s oldest Taurean Two!

Talk about the ”ITC-TCS” merger.
The deal much awaited with hype and fervour??
Only the ‘I’ and the ‘S’ seem to stand aloof.
Perhaps ‘Insanity’ versus ‘Stupidity’, for proof. :)
Good gracious, at least the ‘TC’ sticks together.
‘Terrific Couple’ or ‘Total Confusion’, readers may decipher! ;)
As to analyzing the deal’s financial implications,
They’d ensure a ‘nothing-out-of-the-pocket’ win-win alliance! :)

So as the Vedic Math guru meets litterateur Char-loti,
to let the verbal assaults retort to the physical chamaat and chimti.
To the ‘Terrific Couple’ here, we shall raise a toast!
The first inter-class (Comps - IT) liaison of our time, they shall boast!

A decade of ‘dosti’ has graduated to ‘pyar dosti hai’.
“Aakhir do immature insaan ek kamyaab zindagi bana sakte hain!!” :)

Here's a very comprehensive illustration of the subprime crisis and its related terms. I'm sure we would all get the "picture" now.
