KANPUR: "Hamarey mohalley main Covid-19 nikal aaya hai, isliye mein nahi aa paa raha hoon, " (Unable to turn up as Covid-19 has spread into my locality) said a skilled carpenter to an honest customer who has been waiting for him since a long time.
His utterance of 'Covid-19 Nikalna' on the mobile phone surprised the customer who dialled him several times.
First, he took time by saying that he was caught on the way for not wearing a face mask. This was a nice excuse for the delay.
Now he makes an excuse of solid rationale. How could he move out in such a critical outbreak of the virus?
By his habit of making different excuses, the skilled labourers do not understand what the customers generally follow by the wit they possess. The epidemic has become a tool to make excuses in accordance with the circumstances, several say.
