Just when we thought that life in this shithole couldn't get worse, just when we had gotten used to sacrificing 85% of our time by the way of attending class, just when we had gotten used to barely-edible food and the stinking and hopelessly filthy toilets, comes this grave piece of news that stings like the last gun-shot of the fatally wounded villain in a Hindi movie. Is it conjunctivitis, is it another bout of measles, no its swine flu!
Yes, it's here. But the Administration,as always, maintains its stand of, "Look! do you see that 500 kg,6 foot long tiger with razor sharp teeth and claws that can cut through steel that's advancing menacingly towards us? Don't worry, it won't hurt us." So, accordingly they have not declared a holiday and have not suspended classes, or arrange for at least some kind of transportation for suspect students, entrusting perfectly healthy students with that responsibility, or provide us with face masks.
Gandhiji would have been proud of this kind of passive resistance.
But I guess people, especially Indians would always make the most of such situations.
Vendors start selling fake face masks at exorbitant rates.
Mediapersons(read India TV) start broadcasting 24*7 coverage of the latest victim to be affected, where he hails from, what he was wearing, what his neighbours in his native place think about him and start a SMS opinion poll on whether he should have shook hands with that foreigner on board that plane which he boarded from the US.
People like me will undoubtedly sneeze our way in those crowded Virar locals."Arrey thoda sa jagah de do naa boss....Aaaachooooo!!"
The more creative-type of producers(Rakhee ka Swayamvar,Roadies...) will surely start a reality TV show on swine flu. I'm sure they'll select some dumb ass C-grade celebrity for the show who'll say "Please don't vote me out because I'm a vegetarian and i can't get swine flu"!
And finally, a math related PJ.
Q: What do you get if you delay swine flu?
A: Cos Flu (swine flu - sine flu ????)
