Lifestyle in the swine flue capital

'Gosh! Why aren't you wearing a mask?'
With conversation starters like these,you will never be tounge tied again.
The city of education has within a week transformed into the city of swine flue. Every morning when you get out of your house ,you encounter humans covered with masks of various sizes and shapes.Never mind that people are debating its merits,but has become quite a dernier cri.

The only topic of conversation is how many more died. If someone sneezes, you inevitably say "swine flu" instead of God bless you . In fact, the only thing you need to tell your boss to take a week long leave is that you've got "flu like symptoms".

People are spreading rumors like drink alcohol and kill the virus.(This I guess is the brainchild of some sue generis who thinks washing hands with alcohol based gel is same as sanitising your body by guzzling down pints of whiskey)

I guess the new disease on the block is OCD, since I belive people are spending 12 hours a day washing their hands and face. You feel like the odd one out when you attend a meeting of ten and you can't recognise anyone , due courtesy the masks on their faces.

Then you get those chain smses , which earlier threatened to kill your girlfriend if you dont forward it to ten people.The only diffrence is that this time they threaten you with a swine flu-torture death.

And you dont need a nagin-ka-badla now ...just go and cough in front of the person you want to have a revenge against and say ..oh sorry, I have swine flu.. and watch him scuttle with pleasure.

After all, what else can you do, when all malls and halls have been shut down?Why not shut down offices instead?
