How to dodge a spit? In the Spitting SEason We Are In by Puneet Rajhans

How to dodge a spit? In the Spitting SEason We Are In

Spitting is rampant across Tier I II III IV V and all visible and invisible tier cities and towns across the country. To dodge a spit is a challenge we have been faced with since time immemorial. What makes an entity in a metro like Mumbai or Delhi vulnerable to spit. It is the freedom and excessive freedom.
As public space comes with boundless freedom to spit with no signs of shriek. The autowallahs spit next to the place where they park their autos, the buswallah spits from the very door he enters and exits.
Spitting is an art developed and modified since ages and to be preserved till eternity. Spitting is actually meant to show your reflex action when the lung power doesn't deliver the deal. Showcasing the spit syndrome is something preserved by a majority.
Before you board a bus you spit, after you exit you spit; the change from one mode to another necessitates a spit and so on and so forth. As for those working, before they enter the place where they are supposed to surrender their freedom they spit ;in between taking rounds of office they spit. Pre and post lunch confabulations they spit and once they exit from office they wholeheartedly spit in the name of those whom they came across and whom they missed.
Consider the irretrievable situation in an office where the loo is to shared by innumerable employees and guests who park inside for innumerable hours for an unknown fest.. The spitting comes quite naturally and even natural is for those who have lampooned themselves with unlimited moisturiser and the unwavering stick on their lips. This mode of presentation has no originality to it and so spit has to be undertaken in entirety to throw away the pretensions they operated with.
There are different denizens armed with alarming levels of spit. Some spit in a span of two to three hours and some carry on with this untamed exercise every half an hour. Noticeable is the amount of spit available on road pit. Are the imprints to the maximum in the months of summer and on decline in the months of winter? The study on this is yet to reach a decision.
As one comes across signboards across metro stations suggesting that spitting is prohibited as it would lead to levy of fine, there are entities out to make the most of it. They spit and pay the fine if detection is swift. As for others spit-and-fade are an exercise in continuity. In view of this some have suggested that the signboards across metro stations should instead read "spit and scream". The twin tasks in close proximity to each other would enable spitter and screamer to earn mileage points which would earn him free rides across the city. But how is the metro going to gain from this is the all-weather query.Perhaps the footfalls would increase thereby giving the advertisers the all-important reason to place the hoarding at vantage points of stations for which charges would vary from week to week instead of a monthly hafta.
THis spit and scream portfolio would be carried to other vantage points of cities where the public would be enlightened to spit in a pit on the side of the road to be followed by an audible scream. Once the twin tasks are accomplished they would be given a free ride to their place of stay or work. Perhaps that would reduce the imprints of spit visible across all visible limits of cities.
As for those endowed with the never fading grouse against those with whom they share loos and visible seats, their spit is accompanied with long screams but all that is visible in a corner of an office where few dare to visit.
Spit is here to stay come what may and perhaps more mandatory to spit on those who can't cover themselves appropriately from top to toe. Today the spit would be uninterrupted for all those barely clad, moisturiser heavy, stick on the lips laden leaders who crossed the ring and their fall from top becoming imminent. IN the name of spit and for the cause of spit , let us hail this spitting season.
