Swine flu...

Swine flu... yes... thats the flu which had sent the whole world into lot of fear and yes.. even i am no exception to that... It has also given me opportunity to do some creative work which I was planning to do since long time so I am trying to make best of the time by trying my hands on blogging. I started this blogging a long way back into 2006 and till date there is only single post over here !! So one can say I m regularly irregular at blogging !! Well, back to swine flu. As per the current update of WHO, Swine flu has been spreaded in 13 countries of the world with more than 350 cases worldwide. One local report of Mexico says that there has been no case reported in the last night in Mexico but still.. you can see the impact of fear to the great extent in Mexico.

"Dont handshake with others, use the mask when you go the crowded places, wash your hands regularly with soap and water throughout the day, dont kiss anybody" .. This is the common set of instructions which I have found at most of the places to avoid yourself infected from swine flu... so the along with first 3 instructions, people over here are specifically needs to be advised not to do kissing anymore... and you can see the impact on the streets very well. Normally when I go outside, it has been normal practice to see a couple with their lips sticked to each other, much like a Fevicol is applied on their lips.. but now... you can see couple just sitting nearby each other with their masks on their face and looking to each other with saddy face and thinking.. what the hell this swine flu has done... Well, there are some exceptions also.. During my walk to local store day before yesterday, I found one courageous couple deeply kissing each other.. bravo... they might be thinking of improving their immune system by multiplying their happiness. :)

When I was in India, I had strong feeling that India should be the only country which has got varieties of dishes and with plenty of restaurants and road side eateries .. But after coming here in Mexico, I realized that I was like a frog who has not seen the outside world... I can say people over here can definitely beat the Indian people as far as eating is concerned.. Eating is the most preferred exercise over here after kissing which keep their mouth busy the whole day... but swine flu has changed it a lot... you can see all shops, restaurants and roadside eateries closed like what we can see in India at time of curfew.. As per one report, Mexico is facing $5m loss everyday due to this swine flu.

Still I need to spend 3-4 days more in my "cell" before I get bail. Lets see what happens in these days.. Waiting for this flu to get over so I can see people enjoying their natural life.. Well, because of this flu vacation, even I have come to know my limits for example.. How many hours you can sleep continuously in a day, how many days you can go without shaving your face, how many movies you can watch in a day etc.

Anyways, this seems to be a good re-start for my blogging passion.. Lets see when do I come back with further impacts of Swine flu.
