"Salah, ek dum phulto bhankas kidney mila dha yaar...Masth karkey mein woh madherchoud ko bhej detha... kider se aay maayth nai yeh lund fakir chini mera sale poora ullat phulat liya re..." "Kahan se mein aaj ka FDI online sale quota reach karooon... yeh job ich poora ek dum pakaao hein re!!!"
That's a line to be uttered in a chai-walah's dabbha in Mumbai 2020, by some savvy call-center employee trying to make an honest days living. What's he selling- a couple of kidneys, livers, sickle cell anaemic cure packages, organ donor compensation fund diwali savings bonus, still born babies for stem cell research, LGBTQ child care savings pack, the list goes on...
His job description involves snipping for better deals, bidding wars, trying to get the best price for his client - an 'anghutta-chaap ghatti' in rural india selling his/her organs at premium for a signing bonus of 6 months supply of drinking water for the family.
"Innak endhinaada monjathi pennu, kaarukunnah aad porey!" asks an entrepreneur in North Kerala to a young man who applies for a visa to go to the Gulf, his gullibility and will to rid his family of their poverty will succumb him to rent his wife's womb to a gay couple in North America who will in turn sponsor his trip and family for the next 9 months. The entrepreneur will be the effective middle man who make's sure he gets his cut.
Online snipping for last minute deals on organs will be quite the lucrative venture capitalist enterprise to take off. Call centers, will have blackberry wielding hench men on the streets look out for a prime candidate.
Fuzzy moral arguements and kosheresque trade sentiments find no place in the potential of the commerce in flesh trade. Once state support will be acquired the flood gates will have opened. The Halal kidney store on Mohammed Ali Road, will have SMS of a "Gora khoon - 5 litre" CS Shivaji Airport will accept the FedEx package and Visa payment for the trade. When an elderly Paris Hilton wants a new liver, because her old one was damaged she will have the power and prowess to acquire one from the shoe-shine kid who sits in front of Infosys, Bangalore. Nicole Ritche might prefer an organic solution to skin grafting than the 90's botox treatement Cher had. Bahraini National Mohammed Jaffer (formerly known as Michael Jackson) will have the "Peal the World" Campaign to raise awareness of the organ trading little boys have to undergo...

"It's the end of the world as we know it..."
Excellent!
Very apocalyptic with the very lop-sided sense of humor we all need to face such horrible, horrible times.
