Spider-Man: A tale of an unsuccessful visit!

Long before the top brass of US and India started their ‘visits’ to meet and praise each other, our very own loving superhero Spider-Man a.k.a spidey had been to the city of dreams (ya from Newyork to Mumbai!!!) as he sensed a great opportunity and knew that India was the next-big-thing! Well, nobody knew his tale of woes as it was neither officially published nor was this debacle ever spoken in any of the so-called-socio-political circles…

However while cleaning the attic of the Whitehouse before the Indian PM’s visit, this snippet documenting the reasons of his return was found, which I present for you…

• First and foremost, it is way too hot in India and the spidey ‘non-ventilated’ rubber suit really sucked in such climates (sic!)

• The cameras that he mounted on the building to document his ‘saving’ acts were never ‘found’ again! Duh!

• Lack of those tall multi-storey buildings meant that he always was bracing himself from crashing against the electric poles, telephone wires, hoardings, overhead cables rather than saving people.

• Understanding the distress signals sent in the local Mumbaiiya language had its own complexity!

• People in Mumbai had inbuilt immaculate skills to sway away or zig-zag from an on-coming vehicles at the last possible moment so he never really got to show-off his life-saving ability!

• Saving sari-clad-women-carrying-accessories (purse, handbags, plastic bags, groceries, etc etc…) was something spidey could never master! Poor soul…

• His collection of spidey suits were all stained from the paan jet emanating from bus, cab, building, pedestrians which always caught him unawares! No suits, No dare devilry and No spidey!!

• All poltical parties warned him to change his suit colours, hold their party flag and promote their party while flying! Whether he 'saves' anyone was not their bother!

• The BMC, in a bid to avoid cleaning the webs spun by spidey, had sprayed all sort of insecticides across the city causing him all possible allergies!
