Tales of MH 1 - sasi p..

We all might have heard of wildlife sanctuaries to protect a particular species. India has over 551 animal sanctuaries, referred to as Wildlife Sanctuaries (IUCN Category IV Protected Area). One of my classmates Subin P (aka Sasi) planned to create a similar one in his room, 306 in MH-1 The species he tried to protect were Aedes aegypti and Anopheles mosquitoes  which causes chikungunya and malaria. They way he protected them was unique. He never used repellents in his rooms. In fact, he never permitted his room mates to do so. He would have his mosquito net filled with young mosquitoes, give them enough blood from his own body, protect them from the cruel human beings like us. All those who read this post may think that my dear friend is mentally deranged. But he can quell our doubts with his super human thinking. My friend, Subin was one of the immensely talented classical dancers in our college. He was also a gifted dance teacher. The company of mosquitoes would help him learn new moves during night. This knowledge, he'll impart to his students. I'm eagerly waiting for 'Natyashri' Sasi P's new book, "Nrithavum kothukukalum", in which he'll explain the obstacles he had to overcome to create a modern 'Natyasastra'....

Dedicated to my buddy Subin P.
