என்னடி எப்படி இருக்க? மீ டூ காலம் (23)

கதைக்கு சம்மந்தம் இல்லாத முன்னுரை:

 நான் இப்போல்லாம் யாருக்கும் அட்வைஸ்லாம் பண்றதில்லை. உண்மை என்னனா எல்லோருக்கும் நம்மலவிட எல்லா விசயமும் அதிகமாத் தெரியுது. அதனால், அந்தப் பக்கம் போகாதீங்க  ஒரு புதைகுழி இருக்குனு சொல்றதில்லை. ஒண்ணு ஏற்கனவே புதைகுழியிலே விழுந்து எழுந்தவனா இருக்கான், இல்லைனா புதை குழிய தோண்டியதே அவனாத்தான் இருக்கான். அவன்ட்ட போயி எதுக்கு அறிவுரைலாம் சொல்லிக்கிட்டு?

நியு ஜேர்சில, ஒரு பணக்கார குஜராத்ல இருந்து வந்து அமெரிக்கால குடியேறிய  குடும்பத்தில் 3 பேர் மரணம். வீட்டில் உள்ள நீச்சல் குளத்தில் நீச்சல் தெரியாத சிறுமி ஆழத்திற்கு போக உணர்ச்சி வேகத்தில் அவளை காப்பாத்த போன நீச்சல் தெரியாத தாத்தா, நீச்சல் தெரியாத அம்மா மூவரும் இறந்து விட்டார்கள்! அந்த அப்பா நிலையை நினைத்துப் பார்த்தால் நெஞ்சு பதை பதைக்கிது.

 

இந்த செய்திய  விசு தளத்தில் படிச்சிட்டு, என்ன நடந்ததுனு பார்த்தால்.. நம்மை அந்த தந்தையின் நிலையில் வைத்துப் பார்த்தால் கஷ்டமா இருக்கு.

என் நண்பன் ஒருத்தன் இருக்கான். ஹி இஸ் நாட் "எம்பத்தெடிக்". டேய் இவன் செத்துட்டான்டா னு சொன்னா, அப்படியா? சாரி டு நோ"னு சொல்லீட்டு போயிட்டே இருப்பான். அதுபோல்தான் வாழணும். வாழ கத்துக்கனும். தனக்குனு வரும்போதுமட்டும் அழணும். ஆனால் நம்ம நினைப்பது போல் நாம் வாழ இயலாது. "ஐ ஆம் எம்பதெட்டிக்". என்னை மூட் அவுட் செய்த, விசுவை பிடிச்சு கட்டி வச்சு அடிக்கணும். இல்லைனா விசு தளத்துக்குப் போன என்னைத்தான் அடிக்கணும்.


நான் யாரையும் "ஜட்ஜ்" பண்றதா இல்லை. இப்படி செய்து இருக்கலாம், அப்படி வாழ்ந்து இருக்கலாம்னு. ஏன்னா  நாளைக்கு நமக்கே இந்த நிலை வரலாம். நாம் அனைவருமே கவனக் குறைவாதான் வாழ்கிறோம். லக்கிலி நாம் இதுபோல் ஒரு சூழலில் மாட்டிக்கொள்ளவில்லை- இந் நாள் வரைக்கும்.

கொரோனா வைரஸ்க்கு பயந்து வீட்டிலேயே இருக்கலாம்னு ஸ்விம் பண்ண போனா.. இப்படி முடிந்து இருக்கு.

"Guess what..I saw Laura y'day. She looked cute"

"Yeah, She lost 20 pounds or so"

"She did not seem like mad at me anymore. "

"Why? What did she say?"

"Nothing. She smiled at me"

"Did you say anything like, "You look skinny now or something, this time?"

"Ha ha ha. I did not. She is not my friend anymore. May be I will say something like that to you when you gain weight"

"I need to thank her"

"For what?"

"She helped me to get closer to you. You remember? I told you that you offended her and you started justifying it"

"I did not justify, I said I was honest. I did not know, being honest is offensive in America. We have to lie"

"It is not lying"

"Yeah, right."

"It is being polite"

"Why do we have to be polite?"

"Because we may hurt others if not"

"I dont hurt nobody, the truth hurts and I am sorry, Caro, you guys are so fake"

"You want to fight with me today?"

"Yeah, I want to break up with you so that I can look for another girl. Someone fresh"

"Why? You got bored with me already?"

"You are still interesting but someone fresher would be better"

"So, I can also start looking for another guy or a girl too?"

"Yeah, that would be wise. Caro! Why do gay girls break up with each other? I thought such a "combo" will go good for ever"

"Why not?"

"I mean what sort of problems they will have?"

"Money issue or sex issue or trust issue"

"Sex issue?"

"Yeah, one girl can be selfish. I am not going to get into details"

"Why not?"

"Because I don't know."

"You have never slept with another girl?"

"Nope. Have you slept with another guy?"

"I am not gay."

"Neither am I"

"I dont get attracted to guys. I thought girls are different?"

"What are you saying? All girls are gay or what?"

"Ok, Tell me about the blood groups. You studied about that. Right?"

"Yeah but long time ago"

"I heard people those who have o+ blood group are little bit safer against coronavirus infection."

"Really?"

"I read it somewhere. What blood group are you?"

"AB positive"

"I am O positive. Universal donor. You are universal recipient it seems! How many blood groups are there? Four? Correct?"

"Yeah, A, B, AB and O"

"What does the Rh positive or negative mean?"

"I think it is Rhesus factor?"

"Rhesus factor is another protein, I guess"

"Yes"

"Is that an antigen or antibody?"

"It is an antigen. Here you go"







 "It looks like an antibody to me, the y shape. Never mind"

"Our erythrocytes might have this Rh antigen or might not have"

"So if one has this protein in the red blood cell surface, it is called Rh positive?'

"Exactly, some people do not have this protein in the red blood cell, that is Rh -ve"

"OK, the hard part is done. Tell me about blood groups"

"First let me tell you about blood. Blood has four components, Red blood cells which carry oxygen, White blood cells which fight against any pathogens, platelets and plasma"

"What is plasma?"

"Plasma is like "water". It does contain lots of water and important proteins and enzymes and antibodies. It is another big world"

"What are platelets?"

"It is some disk-shaped particles, it is like cell but does not have a nucleus in it. It is involved in blood clotting whenever you a have a cut or scratch and bleeding. It helps stopping it by clotting"

"If one has low platelet count, he/she will be in trouble?"

"Of course, it is a problem because your blood wont clot and your bleeding wont stop if you dont have enough platelets"

"Let me get back to ABO groups. Biology is fucking vast. It goes on and on like this. It is hard to focus on one fucking thing"

"Ha ha ha but it is very true"

"So, there are four blood groups? A, B, AB and O and this Rh factor. You explained me the Rh factor. Now let us get into blood group"

"Look at this first!"






"I looked at them, Go on, please"

"Ok, our red-blood cells have antigens and plasma has antibodies. "A blood group", has antigen A on the RBC, antibody B in the plasma." "B blood group" erythrocytes  has antigen B on them, antibody A in the plasma."

"I thought antigens are like pathogens which are coming from outside or exogenously and antibody is what our immune system will have"

"That's correct. These antigens are kind of specific molecules which help recognizing foreign cells"

"So, if a person with A positive blood, has antigen A and antibody B and Rh factor present (+), receives blood group B, that will be considered as a pathogen by his immune system?"

"Yes, that will be a disaster. He will die of it"

"What kind of molecules are they?"

"I think they are macro molecules . Proteins or Carbohydrates or may be both together. Honestly I dont know"

"Here is where my problem is. Biologists usually dont care, what kind of molecules are antigens and what kind are antibodies but people like me focus on things like this and get digressed. Every time I study something, I get into something else which is unimportant"

"That is not unimportant, it is important too"

"I looked it up, it seems like there is some change in sugars, one has galactose and the other one has aminoaceylgalactose"

"The problem for us is that I cant see like the way you see the molecules. You are a chemist"

"There are pluses and minuses in it. Knowing the structure is only my own pleasure, I cant tell anybody. It is just like looking at your curves and corners when you are naked"

"Are they beautiful?"

"Of course. You got the best"

"I think we should get married and have bunch of kids"

"You know something, my genes will be dominant, the kids' skin color will be dark like me"

"That would be wonderful"

"Your parents will be ok with that? Marrying an Indian"

"It is my life. I choose my husband. Not them"

"Why dont you marry a white guy?"

"They are boring. I dont get attracted to them anymore"

"Can you put up with me for life long"

"I think so but we have to live and see"

"Here is the deal. Suppose you dont like me later for whatever reason, we can live separately and meet once in a while. You should not marry or date anybody. I would do the same"

"Meeting for what?"

"Just for chatting about whats going on at your end and we can sleep together but no sex"

"Ha ha ha"

"What?"

"Sleep in the same bed but no sex?"

"Yeah. I can do that"

"Really? What if you touch me when sleeping"

 "I wont"

"I know how to make you rape me"

"How?"

"I will say something like..Dont try to fuck me when I am sleeping? You understand cheap bastard?"

"That will make me really mad"

"And?"

"May be I will start kissing you all over your body"

"That's rape"

"Only if you dont like it"

"I would not like it"

"How would you know? May be you would be sex-starved then? I will really behave like a gentleman when I meet you and make you feel guilty for dumping me"

"I think you can. You are a man after all"

கதைக்கு சம்மந்தம் இல்லாத முன்னுரை:

ஒரு வழியாக தமிழ்மணம் செத்து விட்டதாக தோனுது. Rest in peace, TamilmaNam!

ஒரு வேளை கொரோனா வைரஸ்தான் தமிழ்மணத்தையும் காலி பண்ணிடுச்சா னு தெரியவில்லை. This is the major problem with us. Older generation DO NOT LIKE passing the responsibility to the new younger generation if they can not spend time.

இன்றைய நிலையில் அமெரிக்கா, இங்கிலாந்து சாவு எண்ணிக்கையை விட இந்தியாவில் கொரோனா வைரஸால் சாகும் மக்கள் எண்ணிக்கை அதிகமாகி விட்டது. இந்தியாவில் இது இன்னும் எவ்வளவு அதிகமாகும்னு தெரியவில்லை. இன்னும் எத்தனை பேரை சொர்க்கத்துக்கு அனுப்பப் போகிறது தெரியவில்லை.

 இன்றைய நிலையில் 500 பேர் போல் இந்தியாவில் டெய்லி சாவதாக சொல்றாங்க. இது நிச்சயம் குறைந்ததபட்சம் என்று நம்பப்படுகிறது. அமெரிக்கா, இங்கிலாந்து, ஸ்பெயின், இத்தாலியில் ஏற்படும் சாவுகளை விட இந்தியாவில அதிகம்.

அமெரிக்காவில் இப்போ restrictions ரிலாக்ஸ் பண்ணிட்டாங்க. அதேபோல் இந்தியாவிலும் ரிலாக்ஸ் பண்ணிட்டாங்க.

ஏன்? பணமிருந்தால்தான் கொரோனாவால் உடலை எரிக்கவோ அல்லது புதைக்கவோ கூட முடியும்.  எல்லாவற்றையும் அடைத்து வைத்தால், வேலை இல்லை சம்பளம் இல்லை, வாடகை கொடுக்க, உணவு வாங்க  வழியில்லை னு அடித்தள மக்கள் கதறுறாங்க. ஆக வைரஸ் கொஞ்சப் பேரை கொல்வதை தவிர்க்க முடியாது. அவர்களை பலி கொடுத்துவிட்டு நம் நாட்டை"உயிருடன்" இருப்பவர்கள், "தப்பித்தவர்கள்" பார்ப்போம் என்கிற அவல நிலை ஆகிவிட்டது.

நம்ம ஊரிலிருந்து யு எஸ் வந்து வாழும் "மேற்தள"  ஐ டி மக்களுக்கு  இந்தியாவில் சேரியில் மற்றும் தாராவியின் வாழ்க்கையும் தெரியாது, அமெரிக்க ப்ளூ காலர் வொர்க்கர்கள் வாழக்கையும் தெரியாது.  இவனுக ஒரு தனி உலகத்தில் வாழ்ந்து சாகிறானுக.

பே செக் டு பே செக் வாழும் அமெரிக்க மக்களையோ, அவர்கள் வாழ்க்கையையோ கொரோனா வைரஸ் பாண்டமிக் அப்புறமும் புரிந்து கொள்ள மாட்டானுக.

-----------------------

"Hey Caro!"

"What?"

"Have you watched "As good as it gets"?

"Helen Hunt, Jack Nicholson movie? Somewhat old. Of course I have seen it"

"Yeah, may be you were a teen then, dating some high school punks at that time"

"Ha ha ha"

"You remember? Jack is a writer and with zero people skills and a real "moron", but he is obsessed with the waitress Carol. He wants her to serve breakfast every time he goes to that restaurant. Right?"

"Yeah?"

"Then he helps her for taking care of her son's health-related expense. As soon as Carol learned that Jack is helping her, she started worrying that he might demand her some sexual favor. She will go to him in the midnight and tell him that she wont sleep with him."

"Yeah, I remember that!"

"So, someone helps you in America, their intention would very will be a sexual favor? Is that the price one need to pay for someone helping a woman?"

"Ha ha ha"

"So if I help you with your moving or anything.. that means I want to fuck you? You are fucking hot and  Is that why I help you? Is that right? That's disgusting, Caro!"

"But..?"

"But what?"

"Are you not fucking me, now? You are, right?"

"That's not something I demanded, Caro! Come on, that is totally different. I will not demand you for sexual favor if I help you. That's not who I am"

"May be I will pay back by letting you have me. I am a white whore"

"I would say white bitch"

"Ha ha ha. You are really funny. Thats just a movie. A fiction."

"People help each other, Caro. Not just with fucking intention!"

"But there are men like that too. The world is not filled with people like you only. There are all kinds Right?"

"Whatever!"

"Tell me about "Weeds". I have never watched it. It must be pretty old."

"Yeah, it came out in show time in 2005-2012 or something"

"Whats the plot?"

"There is no fucking plot. It is kind of black comedy drama. Nancy Botwin (Marry Louis Parker)  is a young widow with two boys (16 and 10 or something) and she lives in California and she sells weed to support her fucking family or some bullshit. For doing her business she fucks everybody around her, (black or white hispanic or anybody who has a dick)  very CASUALLY one time or other. Her sons become weed-dealer as well. It is a total fuck-up!"

"Thats it?!"

"But there are lots of side-track stories. Jenji creates lots of characters and kill them and toss them away just like that, and create more characters and toss them. It is just meaningless. It goes on and on like that. Some scenes are really disgusting"

"You watched all the episodes?"

"Idk, I was watching until season five or something but not with full attention."

"Anything you liked?"

"Elizabeth Perkins as Celia Hodes. She is the best"


 

"So you liked at least some part"

"It was okay first few seasons. The same thing is true in Orange is the New Black as well. I liked few seasons. It starts out good, then Jenji fucks up everything as it goes on"

"You liked the hot lesbian sex, I guess?"

"Ha ha ha, Laura Prepon was hot. It started dragging after few seasons. Lots of  bs "





 "So, Breaking bad was better?"

"Of course, that is the best. I could watch all the 6 seasons"

"You like meth lab over growing weed, huh?"

"I think anybody would agree that Breaking Bad was much better than these two"

"I have not watched these shows fully either. Perhaps you are right. Everybody says Breaking Bad is a classic"

"Thanks to Caronavirus. I would not had time for watching all these Jinji crap otherwise"

"Did you learn any chemistry in Braking bad?"

"It is just simple steps. I can teach Walter White how to make much complex molecules.  I am a much better chemist than Walter-fucking-white. Walter white isa loser with fucking attitude"

"Of course you are. Cooking meth for treating his Lung Cancer. Right?"

"That's bullshit. I believe High School teachers will have a good health coverage. He must have got the cheapest one and saving his money for retirement and always complaining that "I cant afford". Is that not all white people do in this country?"

"Ha ha ha"

"I dont understand. They save all the fucking money for enjoying their retirement. Eventually they go on vacation spend all the money in a week or so. Instead one can spend the money every day meaningfully and go to a park in their neighborhood. Why do you need an expensive vacation?"

"See, this is what this country lacks. We need people like you to educate us!"

"Are you fucking with me, Caro?"

"No, I am really serious. You are right. One does not have to be stingy in everyday life and then later spend all the money in a week"

"Vacation, Party, expensive car are things which can be easily avoided and one can live happily if one loves his job and has little bit brain. And a hot girlfriend like you"

"You think there are no Americans live with your attitude?"

"Idk. I am just saying one can be happy without all these. You dont need to go in a world cruise and get Coronavirus and die"

"Idt even Indians think like you do"

"True. They got influenced by "western culture". It is all fucked up now. I know someone, she always talk about other people houses, how big it is, what kind of car they have, blah blah blah. I get annoyed. She is much older than me. I wish I could say "Shut the fuck up" to her"

"People always want more than what they have, I guess"

"Are they going to be happy if they get more? They want more again. It never ends Caro!"

"You sound tired?"

"Yeah, I am tired of people. Same fucking selfish people around. I dont learn anything new from them. Same bullshit"

"Reading Science is better, I guess?"

"Biology and Nature amaze me, Caro! I have million questions but no answers"

"I am a biologist, I can help you!"

"What's going on inside the cell? It seems like billion things going on. Hemoglobin is carrying oxygen, and goes on feeding oxygen to all cells. Why does it do that? Why cant it go on a vacation?"

"Ha ha ha"

"I am serious. Who is telling Hemoglobin to do its job? Who controls the enzymes and all the cellular processes? It is a fucking mystery."

"Nobody knows"

"No, fucking God knows everything. It is all God's act, religious goons say that."

"They dont"

"They would.  So, God created Coronavirus? God wants to kill millions of people? It is all fucking God's fault. Right?"

"They would not agree with that"

"So, they conveniently use the God whenever they need to?"

"I suppose"

"Fuck 'em"

"Do you think proteins have life?"

"I think all biological macro molecules DNA, mRNA and especially proteins have life. They do more work than the guy who has them in his cells. But they are not appreciated. The pity is, illiterate people say heart is doing important role. Thats bullshit. Proteins or enzymes are doing the important function to keep us alive"

"Cellular processes make some people believe that there is a God"

"God controls cellular functions?! Thats hilarious!"

"You said, something controls it?"

"Yeah, it is really really amazing when I learnt thousands of proteins are doing several important functions in our cell. But God controls them??!!"

"Creationists would say that"

"Do they believe in evolution?"

"They don't!"

"These days I stopped arguing with people about God's nonexistence Caro!"

"Why?"

"I dont know, there is so much to read and try understand, why waste time with these idiots?"

"Like cellular functions?"

"Honestly, I get lost when I read about wnt, map kinase pathways. This protein activates this one, then that activates another one, then it gets in nucleus and binds on the DNA as a transcription factor or something, then it activates a transcription which is translated to another protein. It goes on like this. Do anybody really understand what the fuck is going on?"

"I doubt it. We only know if you make more proteins ("onco proteins" ) than normal, it can cause cancer. If you make less than normal amount of tumor-suppressor proteins, it could cause cancer. We dont know the details"

"I may have to live another million lives to understand. Right?"

"I guess so"

"I am tired, Caro. Can I sleep here today as well?"

"Of course. But I have only in my bed."

"Your pillows are too soft. Can I use your ass as a firm pillow? I really need some what warm and firm"

"Do you want it covered or bare?"

"Ha ha ha. Your hospitality is something, Caro!"

"You are special"

"It really scares me thinking about a situation without you. I mean after you dumped me"

"Will you miss me?"

"A LOT"

"Dont worry I am not Suneeta"

"I know, you would sleep with me even after you dumped me. Right?"

"Ha ha ha. You are really funny at times"

"Of course, after getting approval from your boyfriend? Find a guy who is somewhat magnanimous, not shallow. Okay?"

"Ha ha ha"

"Thank you for putting up with my bullshit Caro!"

"Pleasure is mine!"

கதைக்கு சம்மந்தம் இல்லாத முன்னுரை:

அமெரிக்காவில் கொரோனா வைரஸ் ஆக்டிவ் கேஸ்கள் அதிகமாகிக் கொண்டேதான் போகிறது, சாவும்தான், ஆனால் நியூ யார்க்ல இப்போ ஓரளவுக்கு ஸ்டபிலைஸ் ஆன மாதிரி இருக்கு. மற்ற மாநிலங்களில் அதிகமாகி இருப்பதால் மொத்தத்தில் அமெரிக்கா நிலைமையில் மாற்றம் எதுவும் தெரியவில்லை.

இந்தியாவில் இப்போ ஒரு நாளைக்கு 350-400 பேர் சாவதாக கணக்கு காட்டுறாங்க. இது அமெரிக்காவை கம்ப்பேர் பண்ணும்போது ஒண்ணும் பெரிய விசயமில்லை. இருந்தாலும் இறப்பு அதிகமாகிக் கொண்டேதான் போகிறது

அமெரிக்காவை இந்தியர்கள் பலரும் கேலி செய்றாங்க. என்ன காரணம்னு தெரியவில்லை டெத் டரேட் அதிகமாகத்தான் இருக்கு இங்கே. அதனால் கேலி செய்தால் அதை கேட்டுக்கொண்டு போயிடுறதுதான் சரி. சப்போஸ் இதேபோல் இந்தியாவில் அதிகமாக சாவு இருந்து இருந்தால்,  அமெரிக்கர்களும், இங்கிலாந்து நாட்டுக்காரகளும் இந்தியாவை கேலி செய்யத்தான் செய்வாங்க. எளியவர்களை வலியவர்கள் மட்டமாப் பார்ப்பதுதான் இயற்கை. எல்லாரும் மனிதர்கள்தான். இது மனித இயல்பு.

சைனா இந்த வைரஸை எங்கிருந்தோ பிடிச்சு கொண்டு வந்து, உலகிற்கே தானம் செய்துவிட்டார்கள்.  முதலில் சைனாவில் ஆரம்பிக்கும்போது இது இந்தியாவை இந்தளவுக்கு தாக்கும்னு யாரும் எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. போற போக்கைப் பார்த்தால் இந்தியாவில் இது இன்னும் பரவுவதை தடுக்கவே முடியாது போல்தான் இருக்கிறது.

-----------------

"Caro! I found a way to keep life interesting"

"How is that?"

"Just live. Dont worry about nobody"

"Ha ha ha. Can you?  just live like that?"

"I am planning to"

"Idt you can"

"Why not?"

"That's not what you are"

"Let us see. Let us go to year 2090"

"You and I would be dead then"

"Yes but people will be busy making money, impressing others, making love, some will act smart, some will be gullible. Nobody is going to care about you and me. It will be depressing if you come see this world without us"

"I am sure, it will be depressing if you could see this world but you can not see. So, dont worry"

"I wonder why we want to live? Whats wrong in just dying. We dont make a big difference by living little longer. Right?"

"We may make a difference"

"I was reading this cancer biology book. Cell signaling, mitosis, proto oncogenes, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and telomere shortening as we get older"

"What did you learn?"

"Death is approaching us as we get older and older. It is a natural process. We just have to live with that."

"Dont we all know that?"

"Not true, if people start thinking about death, they wont be greedy, they wont run after money."

"Thinking about death is not going to help"

"So?"

"Dont think about it. Just live"

"Here is what I learned, when we get older, our telomeres get shortened. Some proto oncogenes like ras gets activated and becomes oncogene and gets activated to do more cell proliferation. Some tumor supressor genes  like retinoblastoma, p53 are getting deactivated. Now cancer cells start growing wherever possible. They find a way to survive and that leads to our death, eventually. But they die when we die too. They can not survive without us being alive"

"Thats interesting"

"What is?"

"They generally say, cancer cells try to survive and immortalized"

"You need to go further, Caro. They die when we die. They are not immortalized"

"Why did you read this?"

"Idk, I could download it for free from some archive"

"ha ha ha"

"I guess I should not have read that. There is nothing positive there. Biological processes are so complex. It is impossible to tune them for our advantage"

"They do do that. Right?"

"We barely hit the target. We can not beat the nature"

"Then we should just die without a fight?"

"Well, Idk, I think a lot these days. Have you watched birds?"

"Yeah. What do you mean?"

"In the spring they start building the nest, lay eggs, and protect them incubate them, have their kid birdies and feed them and let them grow strong. Once they become adult, they literally kick them out and they just act like strangers to them. They dont love them anymore. They hardly realize they are their kids. They lay eggs again...It goes on"

 "What is the point?"

"Idk. It is funny why everyone wants to reproduce including viruses, cancer cells, birds? WHY?"

"I dont know. But I see what you mean."

"I realized one thing, it is hard to answer to the question "Why?" "

"Why is that?"

"It is because we dont know the answer for lots of things, both in Science and in non-science too. We know very little even after living a long life then when we are dying, we still know very little"

"It is not just you dont know? Why do you think nobody knows?"

"You know what is funny?"

"What?"

"People who think they know everything are the #1 idiots in the world. They are so stupid that they could not even realize that. But the irony is that being ignorant or stupid is the best way for survival."

"So, you want me to be stupid or what?"

"Check this out. When I am watching a worm is eaten by Robin, I really feel bad. Also, when a little bird was caught by Hawk I get angry. But."

"But, what?"

"Now I look at myself. What did I eat today? Chicken? Milk? Meat? How do I get them? Someone killed a chicken or goat or cow and brought them to me. Someone stole milk from cow. Now I am no better than a tiger or a Robin or a Hawk. I am doing the same fucking thing everyday for my survival. What a filthy hypocrite I am?"

"Oh my God. We are no better than anybody!"

"Absolutely. But we never think about what we do for our survival. We look at what a Hawk does for its survival. Nature is cruel. It is not beautiful"

"Honestly, I dont think like this"

"May be that is why you are happy. I think about turkey when people celebrating thanksgiving. How many turkeys are getting killed on that day? Poor birds"

"If we care about turkey, we cant have thanksgiving dinner"

"If you care about other beings, you can not survive or live in this world. So, somehow do all the fucking sins, and create a fucking God, and design a "system" or "religion" to do justify whatever fuck-up you do for your survival"

"You deserve something big for a lecture like this"

"Like what?"

"Like this?"

"How do you become so sexy all of a sudden? Shaking your ass?"

"May be I am horny. I am trying to seduce you for my needs"

"You just do it naturally? Once your needs are done, you will dump me like trash"

"You know what?  Your philosophical lecture or this kind of annoying attitude does not turn me off."

"How about cancer biology?"

"Fuck it"

"Why? You want to live ignorant?"

"Of course. I dont think about death when I am cumming."

"You are talking dirty. You must be horny"

"Can I seduce you?"

"You cant"

"Of course I can. It is easy. All your philosophical bull shit will go to drain, when I flash my ass. You will be tempted to grab it"

"Are you using me, Caro?"

"May be"

"I was watching the "weeds" show in netflix. It starts out good but when it goes on, it is no better than any Indian serial. Artificial bullshit. No logic, nothing. They just create characters and get rid of some. Nancy becomes a big slut. Idk what the fuck this show is all about.They say they do everything for protecting family? What a joke!"

"Jenj Kohan? Orange is the new black creator?"

"Yeah, Jenji-fucking-Kohan! She is sick for sure."

"ha ha ha"

"I am serious. She is really really really sick. Breaking bad is far better than this fucking weeds show"

"May be girls will like this"

"I doubt it."

மக்களால் அடைந்து கிடக்க முடியவில்லை. வெளீயே வர ஆரம்பித்து விட்டார்கள். கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக எல்லாவற்றயும் திறக்க ஆரம்பித்து விட்டார்கள். மறூபடியும் அதிகம் பரவும் என்பது தெரிந்தும், மக்கள் வெளீயே வர்ராங்க.

வாஷிங்டன் ஸ்டேட்லதான் அமெரிக்காவில் முதன் முதலில் அதிக கேஸ்கள் இருந்தது. அதிக உயிரிழப்பும் ஏற்பட்டது. ஒரு மாதிரி பீக் கை அடைந்து இப்போ ஓரளவுக்கு சரியாகிவிட்டது. இதுபோல் எல்லா மாநிலங்கள்லயும் ஆகும் என்பது தெரிந்தாலும் யாருக்கும் பொறூமை இல்லை. விஞ்ஞானிகள் சொல்வதெல்லாம் யாரும் கேட்பதாக இல்லை.

சைனாவில் மட்டும் 83,000 கேஸ் கள், 4,600 உயிரிழப்போட நின்றூவிட்டது போல் கணக்குக் காட்டுறாங்க. இதை யாரும் நம்பவில்லை.

இந்தியாவில் இப்போ அதிகமாகிறது. இருந்தாலும் அமெரிக்கா நியூஸ் தான் இந்தியாவில் பார்க்கிறாங்க. என்ன இப்படி அமெரிக்காவில் சாகிறாங்கனுதான் ஒரே "கவலை"!

"I think we all are going to get infected by this Coronovirus, Caro!  It is like oxygen. The virus is everywhere. Impossible to escape"

"Yeah, it is quite possible, we all will get infected if not today, may be  tomorrow or six months from now."

"Some of us will make it and some will have to die"

"The lucky ones?"

"Ha ha ha You mean people who die are lucky?"

"Did I say that? You are saying that."

"No, I am really wondering who is lucky? The one who is going to die or one who is going to recover?"

"Dont you think the people who recover are lucky?"

"I dont know. You think after this "corona lesson" they will become different people once all this over? Or they will go back to "the same" again?"

"They might get better."

"I don't know. People will not change, Caro. Have you seen "Unforgiven"?"

"Of course"

"Remember, William Munny will get flu and will be almost dead? But, once he recovers, and become normal again, he will continue his "murdering business". That's what people really are. People don't change, Caro"

"You are becoming cynical"

"No, I am always cynical."

"Thats not true. Not when you were a child. Right?"

"How would you know?"

"Children are simple-minded. They become like you once they grew up"

 "You know who will get the credit when they come back alive?"

"Who?"

"The God!"

"Ha ha ha. What if they die?"

"I guess God will get credit for that too"

"Probably not. May be Satan?"

"So, Satan outfights the God sometimes?"

"I dont know"

"I am sure he does"

"It is not God's fault that hey give all the credit to him. Right?"

"Of course not. He does not exist. How will anything will become his fault?"

"Ha ha ha"

"I was thinking Why Americans are not able to control this virus by "behaving"?"

"And?"

"Suppose, you tell them, if you want to live, there is only one condition. That is, you should not have sex!"

"Ha ha ha"

 "You know what will they do? I think will fuck for one last time and die rather than living"

"Ha ha ha"

"I am serious. That's what we are"

"It is funny too"

"America does not have Buddha or Jesus"

"What do we have?"

"Bunch of business-minded people and conservative politicians who run this country and of course porn and alcohol"

"America also has you and me. Are we not sensible people?"

"I am talking about the bigger picture. See once they reopened, look at the beach and lake of ozark. People just dont care anymore about social distancing. This is what we are. We are not good enough to handle this kind of situation. If two people follow the rules and thousands don't, what will happen?"

"We lose, I guess"

"I think this virus outfights us!"

"I dont understand. Why the death rate is so high in US, UK, Spain, Italy and France? It is not as high in India?"

"India has a pretty warm weather. May be the virus is less aggressive in warm weather? Texas and California are doing better than New york and Illinois."

"Yeah Texas dont have that many deaths. It is a big state with huge population. May be because it is warm?"

"May be. The death-rate is relatively low in India and countries which have warm weather"

"It is possible it may have got mutated to another virus in warm weather and which is not that deadly?"

"Idk,Caro. Let us understand some virology. Caro! You are the master! According to Baltimore classification, what type of virus is this?"

"This belongs to type IV, I believe. The genome has (+ve)- single-stranded RNA in Coronaviruses"

"So, it is an RNA virus. Just like HIV? Genome has single-stranded positive-sense RNA just like HIV"

"Not quite, HIV has reverse transcriptase as well but Coronaviruses do not have that enzyme. HIV is classified as type VI "

"Why is that?"

"HIV has (+ve sense) single-stranded RNA as well but it is a retrovirus, Coronavirus is not a retrovirus. They replicate in a completely different manner"

"Though they both have positive-sense RNA as their genome? How are they different? Their target cells are different, that I know"

"Yeah, HIV targets helper T cells,  those are immune cells or a kind of white blood cells but Coronavirus targets lung cells and bronchi."

"And How they replicate?"

"Coronavirus replicates just like poliovirus but it gets into lung cell, not muscle cells. As soon as it gets into cytoplasm, it releases its single-stranded RNA. The RNA acts just like a messenger RNA. It will be taken to Ribosome and get translated to proteins necessary for making new daughter viruses. Not only that it has an enzyme called replicase, it will make a -ve sense RNA strand which is complementary strand of genome (+)-ssRNA. Then the negative strand  ssRNA will be used as a template to make +ss-RNA genome. It can not muliply its positive sense ss-RNA without making complementary - sense ss-RNA"

"So, it never gets into nucleus at all? Does not make DNA? Does not integrate in our chromosome at all"

"That is correct. It does not. At least for replication."

"How about HIV?"

"HIV enters helper T cells (a kind of white blood cells) just like Corona virus. Once it get into cytoplasm, reverse transcriptase, makes a complementary (-ve sense) DNA using this +ssRNA genome. Then that DNA used as template to make a complementary DNA strand. Once it makes both strands of DNA which is a "copy" of its genome in a DNA form. It is taken into our nucleus and an enzyme called inegrase, inserts the DNA piece into the chromosome (DNA) of helper T cell and it will get transcribed and make all the necessary proteins and the ss-RNA genome and all the enzymes such as reverse transcriptase, hiv protease, integrase to make daughter viruses. It will make lots of them and then eventually the helper T cell will not be able to survive and dies"

"Thats beautiful. The way they invade our cells and makes more of their children!"

"Beautiful? You are crazy!"

"Look at as a natural process. Dont act like a normal selfish human being, Caro! It is beautiful like your ass movements when you walk around"

"Really?"

"The pity is only I can watch it!"

"Ha ha ha"
