TWISTY TALE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Rohan today I need you to complete that research report on Zika Pharma.

Yes sir for sure, it is a very interesting topic. Sir I will complete it by evening of today.

Great Rohan.

This is a challenging assignment. Does the medicine for Zika really work? Let me google to understand where Zika originated from.

Hey what’s this – whats app message from my old lost college buddy in our college group. Let me send him some bad words, where was he absconding for so many years.

Ha this joke on Trump and Modi is so funny. Ha, ha my crazy cousin whats app group has at least 5 funny jokes every day. Let me forward it to my other groups.

Ok now what was I doing… yes research on Zika.

What’s this – a man jumps from 20,000 feet without a parachute! Wow this youtube video is awesome man. I must tell Chintu about this, he will be amazed. Let me email him the link.

I got 6 followers on Twitter today and 3 have unfollowed. Don’t understand why people follow if they want to unfollow. Just because I did not follow them back. So silly man, how childish 'mature' people can be.

This foreign analyst is supporting Trump on Twitter. Damn it. I will give him a piece of my mind. Let me send him that article on Trump I read the other day and shut his big mouth. Has he no sense saying that Trump will bring progress to America if he becomes the President of US. Now where did I save that article. Let me check in my email or was it on my whats app or did somebody send it to me on FB? I need to find that article.

Rohan how is the research going on, did you find anything interesting?

Err, Oh Sir, I am still analysing it.

Ok fine.

Man now let me get back to my research. Zika Pharma makes medicines to cure Zika virus. Somebody has made an allegation that the medicines really don’t work and it is a fraud company.

That foreign analyst has replied to my tweet. He says how can I comment on Trump sitting in India and what do Indians know. How stupid is that, does he not know we are living in a global world. Let me give it back to him.

Hey what’s this, my old buddy is coming to Mumbai. Ok let me see when I can meet up with him and let him know. He has said to add him as friend on Facebook. Hey man what is your FB profile? Oh he cannot find me. Ok let me go to FB and add him. There I found him. He is married with two kids. When did that happen? His kids look so sweet. Look at these lovely pictures he has posted on FB.

And my God 100 people have liked my profile photo I posted yesterday with my new motorbike. Hey Rashmi says I look hot. What a great time I had dating Rashmi back in college. Memories, lovely memories, I want to be lost in them. Can’t forget you Rashmi. Sandeep says the motorbike makes me look young. Charu says the motorbike makes me look thinner. Ha, Raju says I am looking now more like my father.

It is already 5 pm.

Rohan so what time will you be able to give me the research report

Oh sir I need more time as I found something very interesting and I need to look into it.

Rohan you had the whole day to prepare the one page research report. Come on we can’t be taking so much time.

Sir please I will give it to you first thing in the morning.

So 9 am in the morning in my mailbox.

Sure sir.

You have eaten your dinner so quickly. Why did you bring work home? Is not 14 hours at office enough. Why do bosses make their employees work so hard.

My dear wife, I have to give this report tomorrow morning, so I will be awake most night.

What will happen to your health? Why do you need to work so hard?

Now don’t argue and let me work.

Sir did you see the report.

Yes Rohan very nice work, well done. But why are your eyes red?

Sir actually I am not keeping well. I seem to have a fever. Can I take the day off sir?

But Rohan we need to urgently get the research report out on dengue and then malaria.

Err, sir

You need to give me at least one of the reports by today.

Sir please can I give it tomorrow morning by 9?

Ok then 9 am in my mailbox.

I can’t do any research today, my head is splitting.

Let me not waste a day, let me put those photos of my weekend trip to Kanheri Caves on FB. It will brighten up my day. Some of those photos I need to transfer to my phone and then whats app to my 30 groups.

Again you bring work home? Why do they give you so much work? And you have no time for me.

Listen Sheela, don’t irritate me now, I have to work, I need to give a report by tomorrow 9 am.

Well in that case we may soon head for divorce.

Well I will think of divorce later, now I have to think of Dengue.

Sir the report on dengue.

Thank you Rohan, you are indeed very efficient.
