Swine Flu


Whew, April, known as Poetry Month, is over, and I must say, it has been quite exhausting keeping up with the challenge of writing 30 poems for the 30 days of the month. I did try to write one poem each day, though there were a few times when I didn't, and so I had to write more than one in a single day to catch up on those missed ones.

Anyway, by now you must have heard of the swine flu spreading in different parts of the world. It is quite scary, and I really hope this crisis is over soon. I have been extra conscientious about washing my hands more frequently, and trying not to touch the poles in the train. Whenever I get off the train, I now scrub my hands like a doctor heading into surgery. Frankly, I can relate to Leonardo DiCaprio's role in "The Aviator," where he had this obsessive disorder about cleanliness.

Today, while doing the boring chore called laundry, I passed by the bulletin board, and saw an interesting posting. Took a quick picture of it...some people sure have a sense of humor.

Signing off now!
