Mosquito's? Again? What else can there be to write about those freaking flying pests, everything has been said by now, right?
Well... It's dengue season again, hospitals are filled to the rim, selling their last free beds to the highest bidder (no joke! That's how it works in India!).
And the local government is taking "precautions". The city gets fumigated on a regular basis. On our compound this means that on Monday to Friday (dengue does not exist in the weekends obviously) at 6.15pm a man walks around with a device spitting out lots and lots of smoke.
Special smoke, smoke that does not smell like smoke, smoke that is rigged with some kind of dengue-mosquito-killing-stuff making it stink soooo bad!!!
This special smoke gets blown all around the houses, but unfortunately also comes in through the open windows. The whole living room gets hazy with smoke and the smell makes you nauseous. It kinda makes you wonder how healthy breathing this smoke might be.... But hey, anything for not getting bitten by a dengue mosquito right?
