New Rules Outside Your Door..!

Most people have forgotten there’s a world outside their door, and governments all over the world are readying themselves to reteach people what lies outside!
“We will be standing at the gates of each building and helping people to adjust to the world outside!” said one of the government trainers.
“I don’t think that’s needed!” I said haughtily, “I know what’s a road, what a shop looks like, how to cross a road. We are not fools!”
“Take this!” said the trainer, belting me with a stick.
“Ouch!” I screamed, “What was that for?”
“Showing you the new world!” said the trainer, lifting her stick again, “The lathi is the new enforcer! Do you realize how much you have to adjust? Where would you like to go once the lockdown is lifted?”
“I intend visiting my friends!” I said. “I haven’t seen Kumar for a month!”
“Does your wife like Kumar?”
“What does that have to do with my visit?” I asked angrily.
“You will have to get a pass from your wife, giving permission for the visit!” said the trainer, “Only then will the authorities at every checking post allow you to pass!”
“Why should my wife give permission?” I asked, “And I suppose she will have to get my written permission to go around too?” I said gleefully.
“Was she under lockdown?”
“Ofcourse!” I said, “Just look at my potbelly! This is all due to her lockdown!”
“Exactly!” said the trainer, “So all women are being given authority over their men folk for a few years, for travails and troubles they suffered through this period!”
“But she might not give me a pass!” I cried.
“That is where we come in!” said the trainer finally looking pleased with herself, “We will teach you how to deal with such situations!”
“How will you deal with a wife not giving a pass to visit a man’s buddies?” I asked in desperation.
“Would you like the instructions in Hindi or English?”
“Instructions?” I asked.
“Yes, it’s a handbook we have printed, on how to be nice to your wife after the lockdown!”
“Anything else I need to learn in this new world outside?” I asked fearfully.
“Yes!” said the trainer, “Always be alert for the siren!”
“Siren?” I asked.
“Yes, as soon as it goes off, switch on your phone and listen to our leader’s latest speech! If you don’t you may have this on your back!” said the trainer brandishing her stick at me.
“Why should I listen?” I asked innocently.
“Because he may tell you to start clapping, or hit your elbows against each other or he may tell you to jump up and down even if you are crossing a street, and if you don’t do so immediately, then…”
“I get it! I get it!” I said looking at her lathi, “But I think I will stay indoors for the rest of my life..!”

  1. Ohoh Bob, over exeggerating ho?? nwys thanks for the picture of philip blair, I admire him??

    Have a great time ahead!

  2. Oh Goodness me ?
    Is it so ?
    It’s going to be scary to reply and go according to the Government orders.
    We would might as follow the lock down rules and stay indoors. ???

  3. A brilliant thought provoking write up on how a government may maintain control through ‘Thought Police ‘ and continual surveillance ! Reminds me of George Orwell’s novel 1984 !

  4. I thought the Bible says..”.Man is the head of the family..Women be subject to your husband.Husbands love your wives and treat them kindly,”If this is the situation after lockdown then Women have found their freedom and men have lost theirs..It is high time now that the leader in our country quits and hands the chair to the lady..atleast we will live in a same India.

  5. No men have commented yet..shocked at your findings with the trainer! I feel sorry for the men at the lockdown aftermath.

  6. Funny but possible to be in this situation, Bobby. It’s an interesting perspective you have expressed, as usual, on what our future could hold for us. Women won’t be door mats any more, will be welcomed by those who are in that sad state, as a happy thought.
