Mosquitoes to get VISAS on 'HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS'!!

''Mosquitoes to be granted visas on humanitarian grounds..''

The monsoon has started and the potholed-travelling structures-made-of-tar used by vehicles for commuting(read, 'ROADS') have already turned into Olympic sized swimming pools in some of the metro cities like Mumbai..
With this increased stagnation and water logging, the 3rd MBBS students, studying PSM are worried that it will lead to more mosquitoes this season and there are already large number of cases of Malaria being reported from various parts of India.
But based on the Lalit Modi scam out in the public this week, a few dumb students committed to believing that the goal of medicine is not just to cure but to prevent the disease too(now that's very inhuman!), feel there might just be a way out of this muddy, macchhar filled puddle!!
Some students have reportedly taken to twitter and asked Sushma ji to grant visas to mosquitoes on 'humanitarian grounds'!! According to sources, these dumb students believe that mosquitoe bites are against the humanity and to save the humanity of India, mosquitoes should be granted visas so that Indians are protected from mosquitoe bites..
Asked which country they should export the mosquitoes to, the students replied unanimously: Bangladesh!
Interestingly, this was expected after the recent drubbing of India at the hands of Bangladesh in the 1st ODI..
''Yes! We want these mosquitoes to be given visas and sent to Bangladesh where they can bite those raucous Bangla supporters!
To save Indian players, we will make them play using mosquitoe repellant creams and make Odomos as our medical sponsors while Bangladesh,due to it's economic crises, will not be able to afford the repellent creams!''
Hearing this news,  Shahrukh Khan has asked Umesh Yadav(who plays for KKR) to share his repellant cream with Shakib Al Hasan who plays for SRK's side KKR. By this gesture, SRK clearly wants to establish himself as a more caring owner than Neeta Ambani.
Meanwhile, the Association of Physicians of India are miffed with this proposal as they feel they will incur heavy losses if the malaria cases decrease beacuse of this step.
A physician on the assurance of secrecy reported,  ''We are expecting many malaria and dengue and chickunguniya cases this year. If the mosquitoes get visas to Bangladesh, we will lose out on our bread and butter and die of malnutrition! You ask any physician to show you his wallet during monsoon and you'll invariably finds the photos of Anopheles and Aedes instead of their wives and girlfriends as mosquitoes are our best friends, our rain gods! To snatch our potential patients from us;  isn't that against humanity too?''
Meanwhile, there has been no response by Sushma Swaraj as yet on this matter. But there are lot of people who have developed mosquitoe- traps and they're exporting them to Bangladesh across the border..
After all, who needs a visa to cross the Indo- Bangla border?? :-P

WHAT DEFINES YOU?



A 21 year old boy studying chemical engineering from IIT committed a suicide. A 10 year old girl in another part of the world locked herself up in her room for 3 days because she thought she wasn’t beautiful enough to go out..
And then there is Lizzie Velasquez, labeled by cyber-bullying website as ‘the ugliest girl alive’. Yes, there are actually such titles doing the rounds too!! She suffers from a rare congenital disorder called the neonatal progeroid syndrome, thanks to which she weighs just 29 kg at age 26, can’t see with one eye and looks ‘ugly’, terribly ‘ugly’!! In one of her instances she recounts, “There were times when girls in school wouldn’t sit next to her considering her to be a monster!” Once, a stranger messaged her up saying, “Hey, are you the ugliest girl alive? Why are you still alive?? You should be committing a suicide!”

SUICIDE. That was the easiest thing she could have done. That was also what Nick Vujicic, ‘the man with no limbs’ tried to do  when he was 8 years old after considering himself to be a depressing burden on his family. He failed to commit suicide though. He tried drowning himself in a bucket but the water was shallow and he for one had no hands to pour more water!!
Lizzie and Nick earn million dollars today and are two of the most distinguished motivational speakers in the world! And if by any chance you’ve heard either of them speak, you will realize how, we, take our normalcy and non-ugliness for granted and fail to realize the true value of our lives!!
Lizzie, in one of her YouTube videos, asks the audience, “What defines you as a person? That short height? That ugly face? Those rough hair? That black skin? That pimple on your cheek or those misaligned teeth? Or that beautiful soul residing in your body?”

Nick was bullied inhumanly at his school(he attended a normal school, was a very bright student!) and all those negative, discouraging words only made his resolve to do something great only stronger!!
He got his University degree, started an NGO and wrote a best-selling book and is a highly respected motivational speaker today!
Nick says, “We often remember the words which shouldn’t have been spoken to us. Words are indeed powerful. Bad words can hurt your heart; good words can heal your soul. Look at me body! Is your condition worse than me? If yes, I won’t stop you from quitting. But if it’s a NO, then why do you give up on life? If my hopeless state gives you a hope, then I am blessed!”
Friends, it’s really a time to introspect, can you and I be a little less bitter? Can we stop complaining over trivial matters? Can we stop bullying someone for their looks? I know it’s tough because I do it often myself! But we must give it a try! May be, our lives can be better then!!
Thank you for reading!!
Your thoughts are welcome.
