The Invisible Story

You must have no doubt heard about the "Invisible Man" written by H G Wells. And then there is the fable " The Emperors New Clothes" by Hans Christian Anderson.

While the first story is about a person who tries to cloak his invisible nudity with clothes the latter is about a king who becomes nude due to his invisible clothes. A remarkable similarity to our politicians who try to cloak their weaknesses in suit boot and err., khadi but still stay naked for it , either which way.

Talking about emperors the Breaking News is about Kim Jong Un, The North Korean despot who has apparently shown himself to be alive... once again. So there goes all that brouhaha about who will succeed him etc. Methinks it was yet another of his nasty stratagems to see who wishes him gone. So all you little men around him, you had better whip out your little notebooks and start noting down his latest gems of wisdom.

And then there are a couple of curious stories about weddings during the lockdown. The first involves a man who was sent out by his mother to pick up some groceries. But the man apparently decided to pick up a bride, instead of the groceries. The furious mother in law has evicted the couple from her house and the case has left the local police scratching their heads.

And then we had a wedding a couple of days back wherein the couple were seen exchanging garlands with sticks. Indeed Social Distancing is the need of the hour but still one wonders how they proceeded thereafter...
