Sick Fun

It’s a swine-flu age. Another victim dead of it.

But if you and your spouse both fall sick, take the day off. Just because you smell like a dog , your body is aching, you have plenty of cough, you have pounding headache and you have high fever, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Here are some I could think.

1. Imitate Om Puri, Amrish Puri, Amitabh Bachchan, Robert De Niro and for fun, Sachin Tendulkar. You have a soar-throat and your voice is husky. Use it.
2. Play thermometer race. Stick digital thermometer in your mouth and see whose beeps first.
3. Practice for Olympic Synchronized Coughing.
4. Have a cup of Neem Joice and talk about Bengali Sweets.
5. Forget Staring Contest. Try “who-can-get-longest-without-wiping-nose” contest.
6. Try drinking game. Watch MTV Roadies and take a cough syrup every time a word is beeped out.
7. If your noses are blocked, see how long you can kiss before you gasp for air. Can you reach the 1 minute magic mark?
8. Hide a capsule in your layers of clothing and let him/her find.
9. One word. 69! (Give each other foot massages.)
10. To declare your undying love for each other, exchange nasal sprays.
11. Watch “Kasautii, Zindagi Key”. Its for sick people anyway. And sob.

…will keep you posted.
