Since most of my colleagues are quite young, every time I join our work meetings, they are in the midst of the same conversation: the trials and tribulations of getting a vaccination slot.

One teammate shared with relief that her building was organising a vaccination camp, inspired by a society nearby that had done it. But on the day, the camp was cancelled because word had got around that perhaps the neighbouring building’s camp had in fact been fake. Indeed the news confirmed that that particular suburban society had been scammed of 5 lakhs, and so had various film production companies, which can only fill us with wonder, that those in the business of make believe, were made to believe the farzi proposition. In a way the truth about the scammers was in their name: SP Events. Well they had organised an event, all right.
