KEETAROO GERMS


KEETAROO
Keetaroo is Hindi for Germs.
Germs and bacteria, as we all have been taught in early school years are things to be vary of. Some of the germs / bacteria are good, such as lactobacillus which forms Yoghurt (Dahi). They also cause fermentation which makes wines. Quite a bunch of bacteria are present in our mouth, stomach and sundry organs which digest our food and help us to live in general good health. And everyone would tell you that Germinated grains are good in your breakfast.
The Marketing world has latched on to this and made it the unique selling point of most things made by them. It also does not want any one to forget it. It  keeps on bombarding us day-in & day-out that these ketaroos are out to get us. “Use our products or else !” they keep on dinning into our ears vehemently on the TV, Radio and Press, spreading the keetaroo mania and brainwashing all future generations to come.
Here are a few examples …..
Napkins for Toddlers : The advertisers are emphatic that unless the babies wear THEIR nappies, all hell would break loose on the baby by the keetaroos
                                   
Keetaroos on the floor

The Floor : It is dinned into us by them, that the floor of our rooms are not safe from keetaroos for our walking etc., unless the floor is wiped by THEIR solvents. 

                                       
Keetaroos in the mouth
 
Brushing teeth : Using THEIR paste/powder in cleaning teeth in the morning is the only remedy for banishing the keetaroos which would otherwise make all our teeth fall out.

Toothbrush : Not satisfied with the paste/powder which shall kill the keetaroos, they have come up with pushing THEIR toothbrush as the ultimate weapon to fight mouth keetaroos.
Mouthwash : But the mouthwash-wallas do not agree. They want your mouth gargled by THEIR product, even after brushing to kill the keetaroos.
The WC : Unless the WC is cleaned with THEIR product, you are a gonner; as the keetaroos are going to get you.
Drinking Water : They are the loudest on this. Unless we use THEIR water gadget, there is no salvation for us from keetaroos, and maybe shall spend the remainder of our life in untold misery of hospitals.

Keetaroos on the hand
                                        
Washing of hands : Fun is specially made of those school children who do not use THEIR soap or liquid soap, as the keetaroos attack the non-user.
Bathing : You are made out to be a duffer if you do not use THEIR soap after returning home from work, bringing the keetaroos into home.
Talcum Powder : Not to be left behind, talcum powder has also joined the keetaroo brigade. Ordinary talcum would not do, you have to use THEIR talcum to overcome the keetaroos.
Washing clothes : It is vehemently pointed out that only THEIR product kills the keetaroos, which plain washing soap is ineffective in removing.
Utensils : The family not using THEIR product in cleaning and washing the cooking & dining utensils are eating keetaroos !!
                                        
Keetaroos on the tiffin box


Tiffin boxes : Is the  tiffin box not a utensil ? This is the latest addition from the marketing think tank. It is pointed out that sanitizing the tiffin box only with THEIR product renders it safe from keetaroos.
The Air in the Rooms : It is suggested that only THEIR room freshener shall kill the keetaroos and simultaneously make the air smell nice. Otherwise it shall be presumed that you live next to the garbage dump. But what if the floor is already wiped with the keetaroo killing solvent ?
The Refrigerator : The refrigerator now is no more an equipment to keep things cool or frozen. The point made out now is that keetaroos shall not be killed and your food inside would spoil if it is not THEIR refrigerator.

                                        
Keetaroos in the AC room


Air-conditioners : Gone are the days when you switched on the AC to cool your room. Now you are made to worry about the keetaroos in the room if not using THEIR air-conditioner. Never mind the keetaroo killing room freshner and the floor wiping solvents you have used; only the AC can kill the stubborn keetaroo.

                                          
Long live Keetaroos
With all this hungama going on it seems that the KEETAROOS are in league with the Marketing brigade in promoting their products !! What would the Marketing brigade do if these keetaroos fade away ? Long live ketaroos !!

  Let us consider a couple of scenarios, which all of us have encountered sometime. ========== Me : “ You see, the situation is like …” The Other person : “Wait, I shall tell you what it’s like. The thing is …”. And he goes on to explain the same thing as I had started to tell. The message immediately implies that what I was going to say was incomplete info, and what the “Other Person” has said is clearer. ========== I post some interesting thing in a social media group. The Other Person , a group member, immediately posts several links about it from Google, Wikipedia; plus copy paste from some news site or News article, which tells exactly the same thing as I said. Here also the message immediately implies that what I posted was incomplete info, and what they posted is making it clearer.

London Musings ...1

Image
It’s 6:30 in the morning of the just gone by December, and we are at the Lucknow airport. All excited and trying to look like seasoned travellers (which we are not). We, that is me and the LOH are on our way to visit our daughter & son-in-law in London. We dutifully arrived at the airport, the stipulated three hours in advance of flight departure. Luggage check-in, immigration and security check are over, and now we are in the waiting hall for the flight to be announced. We had left the house around 5.30 am, so am looking for some breakfast, Airports are a rip-off for food items, so Prabha has brought some biscuits. I have to get tea only. There is no lounge at the international flights departure lobby of Lucknow airport, which we would have enjoyed, so get two cups of tea from the tea stall, and relax. The flight is finally announced. We file in, strap up and try to find some interesting movie on their entertainment system. London… here we come!

The KISSING SEAT or LOVE SEAT

Image
                 A uniquely designed seat for two known as the ‘Kissing Seat’ or ‘Love Seat’ became popular in the Victorian era. It was a must in every manor and upper strata house, usually placed in the garden or in a corner of the hall. It was variously also known as a tête-à-tête seat, courting bench, kissing bench, gossip's chair, or conversation bench. Its design may have initially arisen in France. courtsy - Printerest It was any form of two-seat furniture where the two seats are arranged in an S shape, so that two persons can converse while looking at each other and being within arm's reach could kiss and embrace, while at the same time typically retaining a modest barrier between them. The Curved Seat Bench with the separation of two adjoined seats is very artistic and unique. The shape of the seats is such where you can face your partner. courtsy - Printerest The love seat gets its name from the idea that a couple (lovers, ...
