Polio Episode 24 Characters: Lala, Bhola, Kaka, Bengoli Lala : I told you to just get me a vacant taxi Bhola : But Sir, in every taxi passing on the road, there was at least one person inside. Lala : How can that be?! Bhola : It’s true. Lala : I don’t’ get this! How is that possible? Bhola : It is possible. Lala : I don’t believe that. Kaka : Ay Lala, what can’t you believe ? Lala : Man I told him to find me a vacant taxi and he claims every taxi he saw had someone inside!” Kaka : He’s right brother! There will always be someone inside …the driver! Bhola : See! Without him how can the taxi work without the driver. Lala : So when did I ask you to get a taxi without a driver! Bhola : But you said get me an empty taxi… that means without the driver! Lala : O Lord, your mind needs a driver to guide it! Bhola : You mean my mind does not work?! Bengoli: My man it works, but it needs a jump start. Lala : Enough. Go and get the order from table 3. Bhola : Sir, please increase my salary.. or else..? Lala : Or else what?! Kaka : Ha! Or else he will keep working at the same salary! (Laughter) Bhola : Oh no no…I can’t keep working at this salary. Bengoli: Why? Bhola : My family has grown from three to four persons now. Lala : Hmm Bhola did you tell your wife to make sure she gives the children polio vaccination drops? Bhola : That’s a nice try sir. I’m talking about my salary and you change the topic to polio. Lala : Listen IU forgot to tell you something very important. Bhola : Sir don’t change the topic. Kaka : Just listen to what Lala has to say and then we’ll come back to your topic. Lala : Kaka, my son Zargul told his mother that he wants to grow up and become like Messi. Kaka : Great! Lala : My wife told him “When you grow up, don’t become a big star; you have to become a big person… be of use to others”. He took her words seriously. He used his pocket money to buy a football and went to the neighbouring village and knocked on a door. A young boy opened the door and my son gave him the ball. The boy looked at the ball and then down at his polio afflicted feet. He told my son “Next time you come here, don’t bring a football, bring the polio vaccine to the village. Bhola : Sir, the biggest gift we can give our children is to make sure they are vaccinated. Then they can be health and grow up to play like Messi, Ronaldo, Waseem Akram or Shahid Afridi and bring fame to our villages. Kaka : Listen to this joke. One man was fed up with life. He said “Dying is probably better than living this life”. Suddenly the angel of death appeared at his side and said “Ihave come to take you”. The man, now angry says “ Hmph…A person can’t even joke in peace nowadays.”

Polio Episode 29 Characters: Lala,Bhola,Kaka,Babwa Babwa: Hey Lala, let him speak the truth. Lala : I have never stopped him from doing that. I always support the truth. Kaka : I saw your face and assumed you have a problem with that. Lala : Listen, he;’s a good hearted person, but I am fed up with his stupity. Bhola : Okay sir!. Kaka : Lal, I heard your wife ius doing a lot of good work to help eradicate polio. Yesterday When I went to Sharjah, I met someone from your village there. Lala : And? Kaka : When I was chatting with him, the topic of polio came up. I told him that your wife is a volunteer there. He recognized her name. He said” You know I was never against this polio vaccine, but my parents are old fashioned, they were ignorant. Lala’s wife came home and explained the importance of the vaccine to them. Now they support the vaccination drives.” Lala : You know, often the problem is with this old mindset. The younger generation needs to educate them about the advances in modern medicine. But once they realise the benefits, they are all for it. Bhola : I say that if everyone who lives in the UAE is able to convince their elers and families back home about the need for vaccination, we will be able to eradicate this horrible disease. Kaka : For this we need the parents of young children to get enogh knowledge about the disease and the vaccine. Lala : That’s true. People in the villages nbeed to pay attention to this. Kaka : If our villagers hear this from their relatives here in the UAE they usually take it more seriously. Babwa: You are absolutely right! Bhola : Listen to this joke – An old man visiting a village asked one of the children “ Where can I meet people of my age?” The boy replies “ In the graveyard”.

You should have enough common sense to follow it. Khairu: Then don’t delay. Quickly dring k the potion for common sense. Bengoli: Hey Khairu, do you understand the nonsense Bhola keeps talking about? Bhola : He’s 10 times worse! Khairu: I think both of you are the same. Lala : That means you get their nonsense. Khairu: Lala we understand each other. Lala : Oh yo mean being sensible and stupid is the same? Bhola : Oh no sir, we can separate the fools from the wise easily! Just ask him how many time children have to given the polio vaccine drops? Bengoli: Hey I don’t know. You are the smart one. You tell us! Lala : Everyone knows this, but I’ll tell you again. Children should get the a minimum of three doses of the drops.. Bengoli: But why should they get it so many times.
Lala : That’s because if there is even one reported case in the area, then the doses have to repeated again for all the children. That’s the way it is all over the world. Bengoli: You mean one infected child can sp[read the disease to many others? Bhola : Absolutely. That’s why we should vaccinate our children and educate others to vaccinate their children too. Lala : That’s true. All children should be vaccinated. Noit even one should be left out. Bengoli: Oho.
