Swine flu continues ...

So its seems there are already 10 deaths reported by swine flu in the city as I speak. Thats really unfortunate .. Whats even unfortunate is that the deaths don't have a name..

I feel that the peak of this virus should come soon (in the coming couple of weeks). Its a combination of the virus dying, and people taking plenty of precaution that will bring about this. Its paranoia thats happening in the city right now , and I think it will take a few months for the city to recover from this.

What concerns me more is the swine flu spreading to poorer areas of the country, and causing even more deaths. I hope that it doesn't happen

Swine flu attacks !

Okay .. so Pune recorded the first swine flu related death this week. It was sad to hear that a 14 year old girl died due to the swine flu. But whats sadder is the paranoaia surrounding the flu.

Everywhere I go in the city, people are talking about the swine flu. Is this called awareness of the disease or is this panic ? 120 people (mostly students) have contracted the virus, but it seems like the entire city is down with the flu. All you read in the morning newspapers is about the swine flu. Many people have adviced me not to go to theaters and malls because of the pandemic. Once again 120 people in a 5 million have got swine flu .. and its a pandemic. 122 cases of dengue fever till the first august, but nobody cares. The point is that everyone in the world is eventually going to get the swine flu, and will not even know if they got it.

There are states which have released advisories asking people not to go to Pune or Satara unless absolutely necessary.. yet they are okay if you go to the US/Mexico or even Europe. Thats called creating panic. Once again 120 cases in 5 million ... there's a good chance this thing will subside in the next few weeks.

But whats next ? Donkey flu ? Gorilla Flu ? or the Rhino Flu ??

Monday morning blues ...

So its yet another Monday, and they never stop coming do they..?

Monday is probably one of the most important days of the week. Its the day when you plan you week going forward, and think about all the challenges that you will come across. It also sets the tone for the rest of the week. Ok so now enough of this bullshit .

Monday is actually the worst day of the week. Its right after the weekend, and there are 4 freaking work days to go. Its the day when you strategise how you're going to get by work, and how to skip certain things. Its also the day when you begin your workout in the gym, and have no energy to do so. Its the most boring day of the week....

I wish that there were no Mondays, and there was a weekend, and then we cut straight to thursday. 2 days of work, and 2 days of holiday ... things would have been so much better. The productivity would have increased by 2 times.

Anyways enough of all this BS.
