Swine Flu. I guess it is a top search in google trends these days. Everybody is talking about it. It has already gripped Mumbai and Pune, where students are enjoying a fortnight long holiday on the account of the scare. But how has Swine flu affetced the lives of individuals and select groups, lets discuss. Well if you are a TV reporter in one of the 1000 news channels which exist, your main job is to create panic. This has provided you with one more "masala" to add stars to your prime time viewership. Phrases like "maut ka courier", "Mask ke peeche", "Manav jaati ka vinash" should entice you. You have to scare the public to boost up TRPs. If you are a socialite, you need to memorize few jargons related to Swine and flu to blabber in social gatherings. Although your talks might not make any sence, but who would understand them. If you are a student, well sit at home and pray for the problem and Holidays to get bigger and bigger. For employees, well I am helpless, no doughnut for you. Continue working and if you get the deadly virus, be prepared to get fired as these are recessionary times.
Swine Flu scare has entered IIT also where 3 students have been declared infected. The hostel mess is seeing a low turnout, as the students are afraid of a possible infection. This has lead to a boom in sales for paratha houses as sarsi which adjoin IIT hostel. Waiting time at Sarsi which was earlier at 30 mins for a single paratha, has now gone upto 90 mins. This has also resulted in an increased volume and bottomline for the Cig wala near to the place, as students keep smoking till their order arrives.
For the purpose of protection I would give the following advice to my readers:
1) Smoke 10 times a day
2) Drink daily
These would help to kill the virus in your body. You can thank me in the comment sections.
P.S: I have not been paid for this recommendation by the cig wala or the liquor shop outside IIT. :P
