The flu which has no clue

Swine flu is one of the dangerous of flue's in the 21st century. The last flu which had killed millions of people around the world was Hong Kong flu in 1968.

I was joking about Swine flu in one of my previous posts and looking at the pace this flu is extending its roots to most of the countries in the world, it is no longer considered a flu with minimal damage. It is here to stay. That is the subject for today. Write an essay on Swine flu in no more than -500 words.


Everyday when I see the front page of TOI, a new death case is reported and that causes some more panic in the minds of the people. The flu is red hot in Pune and the heat is felt in almost every part of the country. Scientists are coming up with a vaccine in November and I hope that will put an end to this flu misery.

People are buying N95 masks which is really not necessary. Yeah, N95 reminds of a Nokia phone. A three layered mask which has a longevity of 8 hrs can be used i.e, if you are pissing in your pants. Rock people like me can go and inhale like a sniffer dog without any concern.

Team mates are afraid if they see anyone coughing or sneezing in the office. They deliberately are trying to stay away from that freak. Everyone has a suspicious mind now and their eyes are wide open even when they are drunk.

Ayruvedic doctors are saying, Tulasi leaves can cure Swine flu. While that can be true, Tulasi can also be used to cure headache, body pain, cold, fever, cough, insomnia and retardness. We don't believe in our medicines is a well known fact. What we also don't believe is, one of us can also get affected with this deadly flu. The symptoms are as usual - cold, cough, throat pain, nausea, vomiting sensation and the no-affinity towards the short satisfaction.


It can be prevented by staying indoors by covering yourself in burkhas and staying 6 feet away from the flu affected person. Wash your hands regularly. You should cover your mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing so the virus does not travel like wild fire. Our body also has natural immunity to fight this shit and that is good news. Many cases can get cured and you can do your daily chores as usual after getting discharged.

Asthma patients and new born kids like me has to take proper care because they have better chance of contracting this H1N1 virus. Nobody knows which nut head acquired this from a certain pig and he only knows what activity he had involved into, that has resulted in a pig delivering the coup-de grace to him and the rest of the world. Pigs can also take revenge.

That is why I always advice to stay from animals. Next is what? Dog flu? Every dog has its day. Don't underestimate those hard working ants either which you enjoyed killing them in your childhood.


Authorities have finally realised the impact of this virus and are beginning to fight hard in controlling this epidemic. Few people are happily staying indoors and reading this essay to stay themselves light.

Few others I am travelling home for this Independence weekend and next weekend as well. And in the process I would be really testing my sniffer dog immunity.

Unforced Errors:

1. The guy sitting in front of the ladies bathroom in any office will be having hell of a time. He probably can keep track of how many times a girl men also had visited if he wants to.
2. Elsewhere in Montreal, Rogers cup is on and I heard Rafa is back in his sleeveless gear.
3. Some are afraid to put a mask as a precaution because it raises doubts as to whether she was infected or is she too concerned.
4. A man who has 'the opposite of bats' can always take a dig on women without any remorse.
5. I've seen many women covering their head and face with scarf especially while going on bikes. Initially I thought it was to avoid the pollutants but later I realised it was done to protect their make-up.
6. Two things should be arriving this week and wait for the pictures which I would be posting in my next post.
7. Starting your career in a start up company is always a better bet than starting in a MNC where you are treated like any other person.
8. Oflate I've started realising the same things which I've already realised before in my chaddi engineering days.
9. The last thing those pigs need is we giving the flu back to them.

I also inspired one of my friends and he stopped after couple of good posts.

Now that you are in US, I understand you should be itching to get on board than when you were in India.

If you don't worry about less readers and no comments, then you would like it.
