Mumbai: The recent promos of the latest song “Twist” from Love Aaj Kal created a new ‘turn’ of events. Snake-charmers in remote areas of Rajasthan and Maharashtra have declared a strike. While the officials are still trying to try and understand the full implications and whether or not there are any, the Snake-charmers’ Association revealed its definite plans of continuing with the strike indefinitely.

On being questioned about the reason for this outburst Mr. Nag-esh, the Director of the Association said that this song is an insult to their community. He believes it to demean their hiss-story. “It is like twisting our national anthem. How can we bear this insensitivity towards our livelihood?”.

The seemingly meaningless strike has lead to quite strange consequences. Deaths in certain villages (whose names we are unsure of), are on the rise. India has recorded the highest number of deaths due to snake bites in the last 7 days. In the villages of Maharashtra, the local affairs have come to a standstill due to the fear of being attacked by snakes on the loose.

Economically speaking, the underground export deal with China has crashed due to the snake-charmers’ refusal to supply snakes. The Foreign Minister is at a loss of an action plan due to his inability to reveal the problem in the first place.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama seems highly moved by this occurrence. “We cannot look at India in the same manner now. What is to become of the land of snake-charmers without the snake-charmers themselves. This is the question of culture and identity of a nation,” he expressed. Like all the other matters of the world, the US has decided to take it upon itself to bring the situation under control
