Waiter… There is a Fly in my soup.

Once upon a time, there was an Entomologist called Danny who went to a restaurant in Mumbai for dinner. While having soup, he saw a Fly in it and thus was about to call the waiter to complain when the Entomologist inside him took over. The Fly was a good specimen, not too different apparently from the other flies you get in your soup. But what astounded him was the fact that it was an Indian Fly and had one extra leg. He was fascinated. Danny was already making a short film on the insects in India. He decided to include the Fly in it as well. So began the filming. At the same time, Danny wrote a paper on the different insects and the Fly in particular. The paper went on to be award winning. The Film didn’t stay far behind. The film had a conversation between an almost extinct Bumblebee and a new type of Cricket that Danny had found. The movie dwelled a lot on the Cricket’s history, his life and his origins. The Fly had a very small part in it. But when the movie was shown, the Fly and the movie had been marketed very well. Everyone wanted to see the Fly with the extra leg. Everyone went crazy about her. Soon the press was printing all kinds of news about the Fly. Someone found out the Fly’s ex. They printed the entire scoop. The Fly had become the Buzz of town. Then they started linking the Fly and the little Cricket. Everything went crazy after that. Papers were written about the Fly. Another Entomologist named Woody became equally fascinated with the Fly. He started off on his own paper and another film. Suddenly the Fly was making headlines everywhere. All the other insects in Danny’s film, although more important, soon lost out. The hives of 2 small insects were broken down while the Fly kept zooming ahead. The madness was not stopping.

All this while, the Lame Geek sat in his house and laughed at the stupidity of the others. The Fly had nothing too different than the other flies. But she was soon the talk of the town. The Lame Geek was soon amused by the stupidities of life.

To quote in true Shakespearean style, "For she will be the dumb Fly for all time, and her name will be Freida!"
