Whenever you have to open your mouth.For giving an opinion or during some viva.What matters nowadays is not your say.But the trajectory of your airborne saliva ….Spittle has always been accessible and free.And thus, was a boon for the litigating public.Lawyers, munshis, litigants relied on tongues.To give the court fee stamps a lick & stick!.Court corridors offer historical evidence.Of the fate of cases, of litigants' rise and fall.To commemorate their wins and losses.Litigants have left red blotches on the wall ….Whether it's discussion in the boardroom.Or solemn sermon delivered from a pulpit.In those good old days before COVID-19.No one expended much thought on spit!.But now Circulars have become necessary.To keep lawyers and litigants in good nick.A District & Sessions judge has just ordered."Thou may plead but thou shall not lick!".Whether in pagination or for envelopes.With saliva no connection can be had.All of us will have to change our habits.And switch to plastic sponge damper pad!
