The Lady and the “Mask”

So back from KL..

The flight back was packed…next to me was an elderly lady who lived in Aaaastralia..

Across the aisle from me was the NRI and his family (found out from their yaccent and later he mentioned through his mask he lived in the Bay Area)…wife, son and daughter…all of whom were wearing masks to prevent Swine Flu… they even ate wearing the mask..moving it just enough to stuff the food in..

“So do you live in Byangalore”..the lady asked me just as I was dozing off…without waiting for an answer she gave me full justification of the things she liked down under..

“Vaater is so clean..and absolutely no pallution..I think if in India you address these praablems them we can move back.”

“Nice to know..I will inform the authorities” I joked..but I think she was serious…she nodded as if she expected me to do the needful.

I needed to get out of the conversation and saw the masked man looking at me from across the aisle..I couldn’t make out whether he was smiling or not (he had his mask remember?)..

I guess my look said “What the ****” so he said “we need to be very careful you see..”

“Sure..I understand..” I said, wondering if the family would wear their masks throughout their Indian sojourn.

Arriving in Bangalore, there’s a Flu check before immigration…its actually well organized..there’s a doctor at each desk and a guy with a plastic “gun” that takes your temperature ( mine was a degree below normal and the guy said that was normal)…behind them are the immigration guys…

Funny thing is that the immigration guys were all masked up..but the doctors at the flu desk werent.. hmmm
