Musquito:India's National Insect?

Delhi-Dengue to Chennai-Chikungunya ,musquitoes are in news again.Condiering the fact that we share such a special relationship with the species and the fact that whole of India acts as a natural nurturing ground for musquitoes, I think it's high time we named it as India's National Insect.Our National Animal and National bird are in the endangered species category,so we'll atleast have one national representative which is dangerous rather than endangered.

The media predictably has been on with the same stories poor sanitation,poor garbage disposal blah , blah ,blah...as if propoganda is going to solve anything.

Here are two suggesstions to save yourself from these dreaded diseases

1.Settle down in a scandinavian country.Then you might as well ask "does dengue mean thank you in an Indian Language?"

2.Air-condition ur life. Airconditioned homes , A/c cars , A/c office et all. Then u become part of the "righteious elite" and freely scoff at pathetic administartion.Can't afford it? then u are cursed to suffer , hard luck...
