Cloning Necessity

Certain words unnecessarily impart character to it without context. Just a few years ago, the word ‘cloning’ sparked a fear about mass produced humans-more of the villainous variety. Today, it is not longer a human but a small piece of plastic with a magnetic strip that we associate with fear. As I read the news (captioned) I tried to recall when I had last visited the city in question and whether I had used the card. Since the trips had occurred and I had used the card for daily necessity of stay and food, the memory evoked a nervous tension in me. As an emotional kneejerk reaction I pulled out the card and stared at it as if it would suddenly become alive and assure me that it was not cloned. Watching all my antics was my son who perhaps concluded I had lost my marbles and got worried.

‘Keep a positive attitude’ he reminded me the advice of my Doc. Instead of the intended positive line of thought, I wondered which application cloned would please you and me.

1. Of course each one of us who have felt that 24 hours of a day are not enough for our work and family life wish each had at least one clone dedicated for work and family so both sectors would be happy.

2. The monthly salary credit to the account should be cloned at least by a multiple of 6. I don’t care if that is the result of magic or some computer error, I am sure all of us would care less.

3. Sunday should be cloned from 2 to 6 times depending on what you want and the mood of your boss in that week.

4. That single exercise of the morning should be cloned 200 times to give an instant six pack.

5. The medically restricted single bottle of the beer should have the kick cloned 9 times to permit the fun while confirming the restricted ration.

6. Certain cherished moments in life should be cloned for that feeling of joy and satisfaction which never seems to repeat.

7. When money in pocket was less and only one plate Biryani did not satisfy the palate, the dish itself should be cloned.

8. That attractive assistant of the vendor should be cloned so that one clone can work in your office and the attendance of the office improves.
