Smell something fishy? Well, apparently you will smell something very fishy in all departments relating to the Indian bureau. All smell of wonderful corruptness. Yes, it is a view endorsed by most people in India, but unlike some, most are willing enough to bask in the wonderfully unpleasant smell of the fishy-businesses. Some people find it convenient to find that back ways (and side ways and alley ways and overhead ways etc.) exist in the Indian republic. One could hear almost anyone braggin’ about how they handed over a Rs. 100 note to evade a fine of Rs. 500. Such stinking fishy-business is commonplace in Indian daily life. One cannot avoid it: hence (people say) join ‘em!
Unfortunately this brand of smelly patronage had pervaded the Indian society all too much. In fact, the ‘bureau’ (because all in India is but a bureau) responsible for maintaining the air fresheners (which we so need in the face of fishy-business) has gone all awry. I am of course considering the sanitary department of my city here; who I believe is on leave for some emergency holiday. Yes they must be; otherwise how would you explain this behavior: a truck came up full of garbage and emptied some on a piece of open land? I, for one, am of the opinion that fishy businesses fill the air full of the same stinking feeling. Corruption is bad for the country, as much as it is for your nose.
Stupid, stinking bureaucrats! I even smell something fishy in my fish…
