GREAT BUT FAKE NEWS
As a believer in the recuperating power of nature, I was super-excited to hear about the emergence of Dolphins in the canals of Venice after decades, owing to the reduction in pollution levels post-lockdown. This breaking news spread like wildfire across the social media platforms. Such was its positive impact that I decided to have the story told from the point-of-view of two pigeons. This avian couple, not having seen Dolphins before, assumes that they are nothing but upgraded versions of Gondolas. The pigeons also unknowingly reveal that their sole purpose of existence is to crap, and crap a little more 😬😬😬
Alas, this entire episode turns out to be another fake news... However, given the noticeable reduction in human activities across the world (no tourism activities, work from home, fewer aeroplanes taking off, etc.), I believe it's only a matter of time before this 'fake' news actually becomes a reality. The incidence from Singapore, where otters have decided to leave the water and visit the Merlion, has kept my hopes floating. Keeping my fingers sanitised, and crossed!!!
