Mosquito the Menace

Its high time we declare the state bird of Kerala....The Mosquito.

More mosuitos are there in Kerala than any other birds. Now you would walk up to me and say that mosquitos are insects and not birds. But when u get to see mosquitos of the size of a bird flying around your head you would actually mistake it for a bird.Thats what happened to me when i went home this weekend.

We stay in the 9th floor. Closer to God than most people in our flat. I thought mosquitos were incompetent to fly all the way up to 9 th floor and suck our blood.But I was in for a surprise. Forget flying all the way up to 9th floor.I was surprised to see that they were more aggressive and vibrant when in high altitudes. Maybe its cos they dont actually fly all the way up as they use the lift . That way they conserve all the energy required to fly and use that energy on us.Strategist!!!

Looks like some chinese guy ended up in Cochin and had an encounter with the mosquitos . And like the Chinese Fishing nets, he left us with a Chinese bat.Looks more like a raquet and like all chinese products it has some dual utility or the other and so this one has a torch attached to it.So even during Power cuts you can hunt down the mosquitos. Another Strategist!!

Now, In addition to all this it also helps you improve your badminton skills,play air badminton around your house for 10 mins trying to hunt down mosquitos before going to sleep and in 6 months you'll be ready to compete in Olympics. No kidding.Try it.
