Last Friday, my parents and all the neighbors in our apartment were anxious and worried. They did not know what to do. Reason - the couple living in apartment 1 where returning back from US and everyone was worried that they might have the virus and would pass it on to them. They were trying to come up with a way to deal with them knowing well how the couple (S and K) would behave.
The couple finally arrived. They knew that there would be a long queue at the Chennai airport. In order to not waste time waiting in a long queue, they both asked for wheel chair assistance. They showed the medical certification from some local doctor in the US and then got out of the airport very fast after going through the basic screening.
Seriously, if this is how the government works, then no one can save this country. How did they allow two individuals who are physically fit, to get a wheel chair assistance. And what good is the self assessment that they don't have fever. As if they are going to confirm that they have infection.
As soon as the couple arrived home, the fun started - they immediately started visiting other neighbors to tell about their story. If they had common sense, they would have stayed at home for the next 10 days, not visiting anyone, asking people not to come home until they were sure they were not infected. But no, not them. They were just super excited as if they had won the Olympic gold medal.
The other neighbors have been trying to put some some distance between them as a precaution and were too polite to not tell them to back off.
And then just as we had predicted, uncle S walks in to our house this morning not even caring whether we liked it or not. He said he wanted to meet me and then handed over the chocolates saying it was for me. As if Iam going to believe it. Letz see - this is the second trip they are making. In the last few years, their sons had made several trips between US and India. Never did they buy something for us in all these years. All of a sudden, they grew fond of us and wanted to give us chocolates.
He goes on to joke that he didn't get many since they are not as good as Indian chocolates. Oh, come on, you must be kidding. All you got us was three packets of mini M&M chocolate candies. 😈😡.
