You're sure you want to go with that appellation?"
"What else? I think that's what Ghulam Nabi Azad is recommending."
"How about 'Queering the air', 'Azad can't think straight' or 'Word of the gay'; something like that."
"Naah! I don't want to make this his clowning glory. I think he meant well."
"Go on. Well what?"
"Well, at least the UPA and Baba Ramdev have found some common ground. I wonder when the yogi will come
out with his cure for the queer."
It's queerious... err, it is curious that the Baba hasn't made any statements on the issue so far."
"Probably he's still sorting out his wardrobe. He lost all his attire during the maelstrom at Ramlila Maidan."
"All but one. So, he will stay in the closet for a while. Did he say whether the cure was a pill or a herb?"
"No, he actually claimed the answer was yoga, pranayam and other meditation techniques."
"Hmm! Praying mantis style perhaps!"
"Incidentally, since the female mantis bites off the male's head during copulation, I guess homosexuality does
make sense."
"Tough luck my friend! I have made my choice."
"Hah! Dude, don't flatter yourself!"
"Well, I had to set the record straight. Some of my readers were beginning to wonder."
"Readers! You are so ungrateful. I gave you a ride just last week, when you needed it the most."
"Yeah! My backside still hurts."
"Well, I am bad with directions. But let's do it again soon."
"Never! As I said earlier, I have made my choice. I will be taking the bus."
"Fine! I even had a passenger side airbag put in just for you."
Look, there's Azad on TV! Remember how in 2009 he said, bringing electricity to remote areas was crucial to population control, because villagers would spend more time watching television than having sex?"
"I guess he's doing his bit to ensure the content is interesting."
