Guinea Pigs Go A Hunting....

The guinea pigs have all left...or rather were asked to leave. The office is quiet...food coming in at the pantry has reduced...a section of the office is in darkness and the ac is switched off. The remaining g. pigs who are able to endure some more are asked to occupy just a portion of the huge office. At one corner, one of the pigs is trying to gauge the worth of the equipment...I overhear that it runs into a few lakhs. I mentally calculate and tell myself that it would not cater to many in terms of payments. BTW...we are told we'd get paid soon...I'm not sure who is happy. Yes, we now understand what the term 'recession' means....simply put..it is making paupers of us...no money in the bank or pockets. We settle for roadside 'chai' and a teeny weeny packet of 'hot stuff,' which is now a treat. Earlier, 'Coffee Day' was the 'hadda.' We've fallen.....like friends of Lucifer....but actually WHO IS LUCIFER? Everyone has the answer....right you are! We pay for another's mistake...the one committing it still has his bank 'half full'...almost as if he saw it coming...so why didn't we see it ...'coz Lucifer's are smarter than us...they know others can be taken for a ride.....and guinea pigs are always there for the taking! Welcome to an old world! Let's look at something new...see you soon....hey...have you heard that something called the 'swine flu' is spreading through many countries? Hmm....who cares..it would do the debt ridden world loads of good....!
