Starting from Archimedes onwards all the eureka moments have come at different times to different people: submerged in bathtubs, with apples falling on their heads etc.
My eureka moments come to me while I am asleep. My latest Eureka moment believe it or not was about chicken sausages. Must be all these repressed lockdown feelings which are coming to the fore in my sleep. Juicy Delicious Sausages they were !! And before I could reach out and release my repression my son woke me up. Gah!!!
Talking about the lockdown there is another large section of the populace which has been suffering. The worshippers of Bacchus, the tipplers...whatever you might call them. Recently the social media featured an article from The Times of India, on Microbreweries in New Delhi, which have been forced to pour their production of beer down the drains. More than 1 lakh litres of it. This has no doubt stirred the souls of the dedicated pub lizards and the most popular response, in view of no other options: Which Drain ? 😀😀

The Covid virus has brought a new phrase into our vocabulary- Wet Market. All of you must have heard of the notorious wet market in Wuhan/ China where the virus is supposed to have originated. Via a bat it seems.
Well we have these wet markets in India too. All sorts of upheavals have taken place due to these Wet Markets here too. The latest being in an "Central Area" ( hindi... hint...
hint). That's the closest I can do without naming the place and upsetting some people.
Birds of a Feather these wet markets.

When you decide to invest your hard earned savings into setting up a business, a lot of research goes into it. You tend to look around at similar business models, see how they have performed, before you plonk your money down. No doubt this poor fellow in a popular mall here in Mangalore would have done something similar. "mad about china ". Can't blame him really !!!

Some humorous moments during lockdown time
Informative & Quirky, love it!!!
You are giving us reasons to laugh. Thanks:)
This is laugh-out-loud funny! The constant juxtaposing of the sublime and the ridiculous is hilarious. The image of desperate drinkers asking “Which drain?” is tinged with poignancy.
Words like Gah ,Bacchus, pub lizard and plonk amused me ! Love that style ! Reminds me of days of Archi and the 60s !
