My dad bought this "racket" from the local market which electrocutes mosquitoes which come in contact with it. Its really fun to use...and apparently a nice workout too. Its like playing badminton..instead of hitting the shuttle, you hit mosquitoes. Its more fun though, because in badminton, the shuttle doesn't burn up, but here, the mosquito does. Hell you can smell the protein burning when a mosquito gets electrocuted. Sometimes they die a real tragic death..they get electrocuted first and upon receiving the electric jolt, they bounce back into the electric mesh again to receive another shock and this repeats till they BURN in totality (*evil laugh*)! Its like a fatality in Mortal Kombat for the mosquitoes! Me and dad have taken the battle back to the mosquitoes. We spend close to half an hour finishing each one of them in the evening. Most of them stick to the ceiling away from our reach. Hence, we have to make use of le old desi household broom and poke them. This makes them fly to some other place which buys us some time to jump and finish them off. You can also "play" doubles..in the sense that one guy can use the broom and the other can strike the racket. I dont care how cruel or evil I sound .. but these days me and dad are trying out new skills like the backhand, the jump shot and the sneak attack. The sneak attack is when you slowly place the racket on top of the mosquito without it realizing it. Its not showy but its classy. Its definitely a healthier way to ward off mosquitoes...it takes effort..but its better than inhaling the fumes of those mosquito sprays.

notwithstanding the utility, i think those 'rackets' are the single most irritating thing at my place right now. my dad is forbidden to use the darned thing while i'm in sight. i just can't stand the 'patack' sound everytime another one goes down!
interesting blog!
Hey!...dint see the comment...thanks for the compliment! And I have to say likewise.
Anyways the racket is a great stress release for me. I think its more of a guy thing! :p
