Hope soap

Hope soap

There may be only one question in the world that hits you like a bullet, piques you to the unimaginable core and brings in a wave of self consciousness and inferiority complex.

It is “have you taken your bath today?”

The answer as we all know, for we have all undergone this twinge of remorse, is an all time “yes”, no matter even if you were stinking like the fart of a sloth and were the bag of disgust.

It is gloriously remarkable how a human being still attempts to make up and convince the meddlesome sniffing human dogs.

I find it hard to accept the fact that the guys (mostly) still stretch out on the faces of others standing by knowing that they are stinking. The sight of it even makes me pass out in a second. Living in Calicut for the past 4 years, I have seen what may be called the heights of sweating. It is hot as a furnace and humid as a water body itself. Still, people don’t realize that they are actually aggravating the already shit hole situation by not taking baths and sticking (literally) to each other as creepers that were supposedly bond on the spiritual bonds of natural glue. It has created such a situation here that; the human touch is difficult, which is the most essential for us gregarious beings.

But some times, the answer can swerve to an honest “yes, I haven’t had a bath” in cases with girls. I wonder if they take pride in the self assumed fact that they were fairies of some kind, and being fair in skin like a huge albino spot covering the whole body assume that they still look beautiful or atleast presentable in the gravest situation of not having had a bath for 2-3 days. The point they obviously want to emphasize is that even though they haven’t had a bath, their face looks gleaming as ever and that no stink to kill mice is emanated. Well ladies, its become certified now that we cant dare to sniff anywhere around you. Well, taking a bath might be a long shot in some cases, the non benevolent manage to exist in this shit hole without even washing their faces in the morning when they come to the classes. Whoever directed the movie ‘scent of a woman’ may have to re-think what he/she did.

The guys are not behind, well, they do make it a point to atleast wash their faces when they go out of their dwellings, but the patched faces (in dry climate) and wet stiff hair at ends near the face make it very obvious that they haven’t faced the most difficult part of the day of taking a bath. But atleast, since guys are always after girls and they wouldn’t lose a chance to hit on them, however big a stud he may be, he would be kind enough to use extra deo or cheap perfumes to make it up.

However, it would be grossly irritating to go to work with sticky armpits being lubricated partially with talcum powder or sweat and half wet hair. The legacy of using worn underwear’s by the macho guys just adds more to the scratching part. I know of guys who were better in such cases, and never wore underwear when they dint find it clean and could still manage to go on for weeks in such ‘tickling and touchy’ situations.

Well people, I know that you have done everything that I wrote here, so have I, now lets be honest with each other and be generous enough to care for the fellow mortals and atleast not irk them with our stink.

Things to be done:

• Buy some soap, don’t share them and try to wipe yourselves with some clean towel.
• Please don’t wear those armless tee’s or banians on the road. It could be the next biological catastrophe.
• Buy some deo’s or we shall try and convince the government to supply them free in coastal regions.
• Don’t stretch in public
• Don’t think that I did all that I wrote here, its like blaming a salamander for its wetness.
