Shillong’s Fever

Garcia Marquez knew that love can cause an epidemic, sickness in human beings.
Shillong is delirious today with Modi fever
(Mistake, shouldn’t have uttered the ineffable name!).
My students from town couldn’t find taxis to come to the university,
and I had to reschedule a test.
Our CM (his name is also ineffable) and other ineffable names from different parties
are possibly cozying up to the PM.
I won’t be surprised if they join/ally with the ruling party (the Assam minister is worth emulating).

It pays to know which side of one’s bun is buttered.
