THERE’S a new force in our war against the pandemic. A force that has risen from obscurity and oblivion to turn the tide. A force that has transformed the failures of life lessons into a mission to save the community, the country, the planet, and ultimately the universe from the tentacles of this pandemic and, if time permits, even from alien invasions. A force that has made dad jokes its mission statement. A force that you had never reckoned with, but must now negotiate with to enter the realm of sheltered calm that is your own home. This is the gatekeeper of the collective conscience. This is the village elder whose word is law. This is the man who does not take no for an answer, even if it is the only option.

Meet your friendly neighbourhood RWA Uncle — the Chacha Chaudhary of the pandemic.
