Simply Me

...How fast you get to used to the people around you

...How when love knocks on the door everything else flies out the window

...How life's a bitch on the people left behind to collect the pieces

....How parents seem to know what you want before you even tell them

...How before you know it an era ends and you take a huge breath and go on

...How life seems like a fairytale and your prince charming suddenly comes into your life

...How you get so excited about a good news your friend you want to tell everyone you know about it

Dedicated to all my friends who recently found their prince charming, all wonderful parents and all the friends I miss when they are not around... i'm sure you know who you are

For better or for worse,swine flu is a reality Punekars are facing. So what has changed in Pune since the virus decided to make Pune its abode (hopefully for not much longer).

1. Everyone including those who used to describe Puneri women as dressed like terrorists now wear masks, scarves, hankies around their nose and mouth

2. The traffic has gone down drastically. Even at 12 noon where a few weeks ago there used to be a perennial traffic jam, nowadays people stop at signals and follow traffic rules.

3. PMTs seen with people hanging out of the buses have enough empty seats for people to be seated.

4. Malls, multiplexs, schools, colleges are shut down

5. Pune has now lost a doctor, teenage school goers, family members, friends to swine flu

6. If anyone coughs or sneezes, everyone around them jumps

7. Hospitals are full and pharmacies are short of medicines. Everyone suddenly believes in homeopathy, allopathy, ayurveda, God, naani ke nuske and every remedy anyone has suggested is tried

8. Office goers are welcoming ideas of working from home

9. People are demanding Mexico-like shutdown

10. Death counts rose earlier by the week, then by days and now rise by the hour
